Dual Hand Analog Watch?

I'll be doing a good bit of overseas travel very soon. I prefer analog to digital watches, and I want to be able to keep track of local time and the time at home easily.
Is there such a thing as a watch with three (maybe four) hands: a minute hand plus two independent hour hands moving around the same fave from the same pivot point? (Obviously, the possible fourth hand would be a seconds hand.)

If such a thing exists, is it going to cost me eleventy-billion dollars? I want something that will last me, but the cheaper the better.
 
Look for a GMT watch. Put "GMT watch" in a search engine and you'll find them from about $150 to about $7500.
 
if you want to go for something cheaper, I've had good luck with timex expedition analog/digitals. I ususally put "home" as one digital timezone, destination as digital2 and in transit times as the analog. If I get around to setting while traveling.
 
Citizen Nighthawk is an analog version of what you want.

The sub-dial is for Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or your own home time zone. A 24 hour 360º sub-dial would be less ambiguous, but IMO it would be as hard to read as the Greenwich Observatory's clock:

This watch has a slide rule because it is a pilot's watch, although an E6B "whiz wheel" was the popular choice for navigation because it's bigger and easier to read.

For something cheaper, any cheap ana-digi watch can display the time in two zones.

For something all-digital, Casio G7700 can display three time zones: not bad for under $60.

I forgot about these (out of production). I liked them but couldn't justify the cost, having no need to track time in four time zones.
