Friends,
Some of you asked about the Traveller, so I thought I should share this “oldie” that I had the chance to see - Reference 49850.
White Gold case, 41mm in diameter and 11.5 mm thick. Functions; World Time Indication, Date, Small Seconds, Power Reserve.
The Gray and Ivory color dial with Pink Gold hands and applied numerals combined with the WG case. A very interesting combination.
I start to understand why Nicolas likes the old case of the Traveler ww.tc. With the polished lugs and brush sides it reminds very much of some famous divers from the 50’s and 60’s…
I still prefer the new case with all the crowns on one side, but I have to agree, the lugs on the old case is not as aggressive curved as on the new case…
Open case back showing the YG rotor. Since the watch has been kept with the plastic on the back all these years I didn’t want to remove it.
Personally I would have preferred a closed case back, maybe with a nice globe or something World Time related on the back…?
I will come back and compare the new and old Traveller ww.tc.
Best
Blomman
