Reverso Tribute Duoface

A case that flips to escape a polo mallet — and shows a second time zone.

Ref. Q3908420 · Released 2016 · Switzerland

The Reverso was built so British officers in India could flip the crystal away during polo. Ninety years later the reverse face carries a second time zone.

The Duoface uses one movement to drive two dials: a silvered front for home time and a slate reverse showing a second zone with a day/night indicator.
