“What time is love” asked KLF in the 1990’s. What time indeed.

If I was wearing one of these watches when they asked me the question I would have answered quite confidently, “Well KLF, it is now a squiggle past 4″.

Fact is, these watches weren’t available back then, so that question would only ever have been hypothetical.

The watches cost 16,800 Yen.
You do the math.

 It has a 4 year battery life and under the bonnet it houses a Super 2035 movement, powered by Citizen. It is 100% custom made using Stainless Steel.

Go get one…..NOW!

You can’t put a price on cool. You either ooze it, or you snooze it. Having a Junghans worldtimer watch on your wrist definitely means you’re an oozer.

This little beauty weighs only 85 grammes; has a genuine crocodile leather strap and is water resistant. (Being made of crocodile skin you’d sure hope it was water resistant!!). But the reason why you shouldn’t be nervous about the £1100 price tag is because of the following feature….

It automatically updates to the local time zone as soon as you fly into it. No more winding back, forwards or doing complex mathematical computations to guess the right time…this watch does it all for you using advanced multifrequency radio links to a German Meteorology Institute. Isn’t that just ace?!

I want one now. Please JunghansTime….isn’t it TIME you sent me one….eh? Clever eh? Time..watch….worldtimer….Ah forget it!

OK, so I don’t know what your definition of “Special Ops” is - perhaps (if you’re a surgeon) it’s when you actually get to remove the brain then put it in again backwards to see how it effects your patient. Whatever, if you’re the type of person who enjoys crawling around getting ‘vectors on your victors’ then this may well be the watch for you.

It’s basically indestructable and according to MTM “The patented Camouflage finish is a painstaking process with each watch showing variations and slight imperfections in color and design.” Which sounds a lot like “we splat the paint around a bit and see what we get to me..

Anyhoo, it costs $660 (£335; €485).

Just take my advice - if you ARE out “on an op” and you are trying to lie low, try not to hit the ‘light’ button - it’s like the light from a million suns. (pictures after the jump)
