Amazon.com Product Description

Some people live life on a global scale, and that means more than just traveling the world. They’re the ones who say risk is opportunity, experience is lifeblood, and regrets never catch a moving target. For those who see life as a journey, we created the JUDGE® II Dual Time watch. This Swiss Made instrument features the precision of gold plated five-jewel movement and the convenience of a dedicated sub dial that displays a separate time zone.

Hand polished and composed of surgical grade stainless steel, the case is matched with a pure sapphire crystal. An inlaid window provides subtle magnification of the sub dial, and viewing is further optimized by a large easy-to-read date display and anti-reflective coating on the crystal. Durability comes at the level of water resistance that withstands pressure equivalent to a depth of 330 feet (100 meters). This edition of JUDGE® II Dual Time features an ergonomic bracelet of surgical grade stainless steel links that utilize UNOBTAINIUM® filled backing to minimize weight.

This review is from: Oakley Men's 10-265 Judge II Dual-Time Stainless Steel Bracelet Edition Watch (Watch)

Oakley's Judge II Dual Time displays one timezone on the main dial, and a different one on the subdial. Frequent travellers, people who routinely coordinate with people in other timezones, people seperated from those they love by timezones all can use a time piece that allows they to see two different timezones at a glance. Seperate stems for setting the timezones simplify the mechanism, without making the appearence excessively 'busy'.

The styling is the acme of Oakley styling, striking a balance between avant garde, and austere. The dial is easily read, with the date at the 12 O'clock position and simple hands and index markings. The subdial, the second timezone, adds 3,6, & 9 numbers, but preserves the overall readibility. The contouring of the bracelet is dramatic, and makes the watch rather heavy, but doesn't snag, and has a complex aesthetic. With mechanical and biological influences, it is easily recognizable, comfortable (if you're OK with the weight), and distinctive. The styling won't appeal to everyone, but I like it.

The price is too high. If they'd bring this into the $300-$500 range, I could get behind it, but the MSRP over $800 is not reasonable for even a Swiss quartz watch from a company that doesn't specialize in watches. This alone lost it a star, and nearly lost it two stars.

A striking and practical watch if you like a watch with serious weight, but a little pricey.
