Review of the TX 530 World Time Airport Lounge

FaceTravel makes a great inspiration for a web gift. Take the TX 530 here (model number T3C474TX): it's got world map as a dial, 24 cities around the bezel, and a retro design from the days when flight was glamorous. New in 2009, the 'World Time Airport Lounge' is a vintage-inspired design with a brand new six-motor quartz movement.

Let's look at the details:

* Stainless steel case, 44mm by 13mm, 90g on the leather strap.
* Hour, minute, second, date, and a fourth hand for time in one of 24 global cities (simply set with the buttons).
* Water resistant to 100m (330ft).
* Unusual domed sapphire crystal, done in the look of a classy vintage watch.
* Signed screw-down crown with etched TX logo.
* Simple handling of daylight savings time with switchable summer/winter indicator.
* Lumed hour and minute hand.
