Vesuviate - History, Models and Owners' Reviews

Duplex automatic watches, i.e. with a double dial displaying two different times, are not common. You need two small mechanisms and two small oscillating weights. It's complicated, it's easier to do it with quartz or to have a large GMT mechanism. This exercise carried out by Vesuviate is nevertheless quite successful, for a very reasonable price. Although the dials are small, the time is relatively easy to read, the hands are necessarily small but quite wide and with a luminescent treatment in the center. The whole rectangular format is quite aesthetic, I have it in gold because I don't travel and I don't want to have several time zones but the idea is to give me the mean solar time in addition to the legal time. So the gold color seems the most appropriate to me. The color in reality depends on the ambient light, the rendering is not the same depending on where you are. The bracelet is made of hardened 316 L steel, it is very comfortable, even if I do not find it very aesthetic and I would perhaps change it for a colored leather. However, it should be noted that there is the Vesuviate logo which looks a bit like a sun engraved on the buckle. Although there are two movements at 4hz the watch is not noisy. The power reserve is correct considering the small size (36h).
