Design & Craftsmanship
The Renaissance of the 1962 Worldtimer
Originally engineered for international travellers at the dawn of commercial aviation, the Over-Pole allows wearers to read global time zones effortlessly. By aligning the local time on the 24-hour scale with the current city on the ceramic bezel, you can instantly read the time across all 24 reference cities.
Pure Manual-Wind Mechanical Purity
Because it utilizes a hand-wound mechanical movement without a winding rotor, the Captain Cook Over-Pole achieves an ultra-slender 10.3 mm case thickness. The screw-down sapphire crystal case back reveals the decorated Swiss Calibre R862, letting collectors admire the traditional watchmaking craft, balance wheel, and gear train.
Master of Materials Ceramic Durability
The polished black high-tech ceramic bezel insert is completely impervious to scratches and UV fading. The silver laser-engraved city names remain crisp and legible forever, contrasting with the high-domed box-shaped sapphire crystal.
