In addition to a sleep mask, noise-cancelling headphones, and comfortable shoes, a travel watch should be among every frequent flyer’s essential gear. Available in many varieties, from classic GMTs to more complicated world-timers, they all provide an easy way to keep track of local time and home time at a glance. They also happen to be some of the nicest-looking watches in any time zone. Here are some of the best of them.
