A Watch For Super Heroes: The Linde Werdelin Two-Timer Biformeter Watch Revew

I can easily say that this is among the most comfortable watches to read that I've worn. The seconds hand is tipped in a darker color which interestingly enough keeps it from being distracting and helps to emphasize the hour hand. Colors are applied in lacquer, which is unique, and works to Linde Werdelin's benefit. Really well done, and I like the attention to detail. On the watch you'll find a uni-directional rotating bezel. It is another precision cut piece of the case, and Linde Werdelin got it right. Clicking 60 times around the dial, it moves with assured confidence and a refined sounding click with each notch. It is a perfect mix between being easy enough to turn without being easy to move out of position. In addition to the numbered indexes on the bezel, it also has lots of applied luminant for easy darker condition viewing.The Biformeter watches make excellent use of Super-LumiNova. The expensive luminant (over $7000 a pound) is of the best compounds for night visibility. You can tell from the pictures just how bright and well applied the Super-LumiNova is.Remember, you don't ever need to wind the watch if you wear it enough as it is an automatic. The GMT complication of the movement is pretty nifty. With normal adjustment of the time, the GMT (24 hour) hand moves with the other hands to keep in sync. This makes it possible to use the GMT as a a simply 24 hour hand (useful to tell AM or PM). Alternatively, you can adjust the GMT hand in perfect one hour increments. Here you can use the GMT hand as a second timezone (hence the name: Two-Timer). The small date window is so tastefully integrated that the date disc color matches the dial of the watch. In this case it is also applied with the red lacquer. This helps it blend in well and really become part of the face. I don't know why Linde Werdelin did not choose to have the watch certified as a Chronometer. This assures a specific level of accuracy based upon special certification, and would have offered a nice additional title to the face. I experienced a very high level of accuracy from the watch, so I don't doubt it would pass Chronometer testing if put to the test.The strong hands are laser cut so they look really sharp and precise. The best part is that they are long enough in the case, and allow for a very high level of legibility. This is really a problem with many watches, but not for Linde Werdelin who has thankfully addressed this issue in their watches. The watch dial is specifically designed to be read in many conditions such as low visibility or low light. Double-sided anti-reflective coating is applied to the sapphire crystal. This is basically a requirement for any highly legible watch as it more or less eliminates glare.
