The STORM Navigator watch combines both digital and analog on two independent faces. Time is kept independently on both faces so you can also have two separate time zones showing at the same time of the watch face. An analog compass and a thermometer are also available on the face making this quite a multi-functional timepiece.
Made of stainless steel with a metal band, the STORM Navigator watch comes in two colors, blue or silver and retail for about $210.
