TRES 24 – three hands – 24 hours

TRES 24 in a technical still-life setting.
A wristwatch with a 24-hour display may seem unusual or even “complicated” at first glance. On closer inspection, however, it quickly becomes clear that the 24-hour display is the most consistent way to represent time. After all, an Earth day has 24 hours, not just twelve. The conventional 12-hour display is merely an abstraction for more convenient timekeeping. Those who can take in twice as many numerals gain a particularly logical representation of the times of day with our sun-synchronised 24-hour watches. Unlike its sister model, the UNO 24, the TRES 24 also enables time to be read accurately to the minute. Our 24-hour, three-hand watches are available in three dial versions and two case sizes: the “TRES 24 plus titan” in the new three-part 45 mm titanium case and the considerably smaller, even lighter TRES 24 Titan in a three-part 40 mm titanium case. The new models of the second TRES 24 generation are distinguished, on the one hand, by their sophisticated case construction with three titanium alloys, each optimised for particular properties, and, on the other, by a markedly calmer and clearer dial and hand design than the previous version.
