My original plan was to obtain the RG duometre chronograph to pair with my WG QL duometre but this plan will have to delay for some time now because of the most unexpected - the duometre UTT WG LE. My goodness what a beauty she is!!! I had never seen this edition in person & I felt in love with her right away!!! The dome shape of the globe looks amazing! It gives excellent dimension to the already lovely dial. Even though the price was a bit hefty, I think I got a very good deal compared to the current market price. So I can't complain! The RG chronograph will have to wait but I m going to enjoy the WG duometre duo a lot For a long time! Hopefully the trio will come eventually this year! Stay tune!!! Cheers

Key Points from the Discussion

The Duomètre Unique Travel Time is considered a grail watch by some collectors, with its complication display requiring some familiarity to master.
A true Duomètre enthusiast often aims for a trio: the Chronographe, the Unique Travel Time (UTT), and the Quantième Lunaire (QL), ideally in matching metals.
The UTT's globe complication, while initially tricky to set, offers a functional benefit for international travel.
The author confirms the UTT's dial takes time to get used to, even for setting the globe, and shares a side-by-side shot of his two Duomètres.
There's a speculative interest in future Duomètre innovations, such as a digital chronograph counter, a discreet tourbillon, or an innovative rattrapante with an exclusive alarm.

Thx Luis6! Yes the slightly grain dial is lovely! I think is similar to the chronograph white dial! From a distance, it looks plain but is grained when looking closely! :) [nt]
