Abstract: A global timepiece includes a transparent disk, which is arranged overhead the face of the timepiece, which has a New Day Line extending radially from the center outwardly to an indice indicating midnight. The transparent disk is operationally connected to a rotatable shaft, or other drive mechanism, by which it is moving the transparent disk 360° in a clockwise direction within 24 hours. The disk further includes an International Date Line indicia and time zone indicia represented by cities, or areas, or marks, representing a time zone geographically located within each corresponding time zone. Two windows for the indication of two successive dates are cut into the face. These windows are aligned astride in the New Day Line. A wheel is arranged beneath these windows and moves counterclockwise and indicates, on its circumferential top area, the relevant dates. By this wheel, the timepiece shows two successive dates in the windows and which world locations are in which date.

Abstract: A global timepiece includes a 24 hour movement mechanism in a case, the mechanism has rotatable shaft(s) or other drive mechanism that extend through or around the face and is (are) connected to an hour hand, a minute hand, optionally a second hand, and a transparent disk. Optionally, a bezel rotatably connected to or inside the case has hour/minute indicia. The face can also define hour/minute indicia, as well as New Day Line indicia, having dual day and dual date windows on each side of the New Day Line. Optional features include a 24 hour alarm on the face. The transparent disk preferably is positioned above the face, rotates once every 24 hours, and contains International Date Line indicia; time zone indicia represented by cities or other indicia and Daylight Savings Time conversion indicia. Optionally, the case has a pair of connectors attached to opposing ends of the case to receive a pin to secure a wristband to the case.
