You need a whole bunch of time zone, world time, dual time watches
Here are a few of mine. I like quartz watches when I travel because I don't have to remember to wind them and not too expensive when I lose them :-( as I have done twice.
The Reverso Grande GMT is great but I haven't gone anywhere out of time zone since I bought it.
Aerospace is my favorite because it can track two zones at once
This world-time is unusual in that you punch the button at 2 and it causes the second hand to jump from city to city, as you can
see here it's on Dubai. The small dial at 12 shows local time and the big dial shows your home (or vice versa I forget)
and it has an alarm too so you can wake up without relying on the hotel clock
The Grand Seiko does the same sort of thing as the Rolex, with a second time zone hand
Finally, the Ikepod Dual Time has a completely separate 2nd time zone at the 12 position, where even the minutes are adjustable.
This lets you accomodate Labrador, etc. (see following text)

India is a half-hour ahead of Pakistan to the west and a
half-hour behind Bangladesh to the east.
Iran is a half-hour ahead of its western neighbor Iraq while Afghanistan, just east of Iran, is an hour ahead of Iran but is a half-hour behind neighboring countries such as Turkmenistan and Pakistan.
Australia's Northern Territory and South Australia are offset in the Australian Central Standard Time zone. These central portions are a half-hour behind the east (Australian Eastern Standard Time) coast but an hour and a half ahead of the state of Western Australia (Australian Western Standard Time).
Most of Newfoundland and Labrador are in the Newfoundland Standard Time (NST) zone, which is a half-hour ahead of Atlantic Standard Time (AST). The island of Newfoundland and southeastern Labrador are in NST while the remainder of Labrador along with neighboring provinces New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia lie in AST.
Nepal, is fifteen minutes behind Bangladesh, which is on a standard time zone. Myanmar (Burma), is a half-hour ahead of Bangladesh but an hour ahead of India. The Australian territory of the Cocos Islands shares the time zone of Myanmar. The islands of Marquesas in French Polynesia are a half-hour ahead of the rest of French Polynesia.
China has only one time zone even though it's 5 zones wide.
Although the world was divided into 24 zones, one for each hour (more or less) it now has about 40 different time-keeping regions.
