GMT watches are the ultimate companion for business professionals, modern travellers, frequent flyers, and watch enthusiasts who travel across time zones. Originally designed for the airline pilots in the 1950s, GMT watches have evolved into a sophisticated symbol of style, function and precision. Whether you’re exploring new destinations or managing global schedules, a GMT watch allows you to track multiple time zones at a glance, blending practicality with timeless design on your wrist.

The unique design allows the wearer to track two time zones simultaneously, showing both home time and the second selected zone. Usually, the second time zone is displayed using a distinct GMT hand that reads off a 24-hour bezel.

Generally, there are two types of GMT watches: a travel GMT, which allows you to set the local hour hand independently, and an office GMT, which lets you set the 24-hour hand independently.

Discover our exclusive collection of pre-owned GMT watches, including all types of GMT watches designed by some of the world’s most iconic luxury watch brands such as Rolex, Tudor, Panerai, Breitling, Patek Philippe, Cartier, Omega, Jaeger-LeCoultre and more.

Key Characteristics of GMT Watches

GMT watches serve as the perfect tool for those who travel across time zones and also value both precision and versatility. The hallmark feature that distinguishes GMT watches from the rest is their ability to display multiple time zones simultaneously, making them the ultimate travel companion.

This functionality appeals to the globetrotters, while the exquisite craftsmanship attracts collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Here are the key characteristics that define a GMT watch:

Dual or Multiple Time Zone Tracking

GMT watches use an extra hour hand (GMT hand) to show two or more time zones simultaneously. This GMT hand completes one full rotation every 24 hours and points to a 24-hour scale, which is either displayed on a fixed rotating bezel or a secondary inner ring on the dial. It helps the wearer read the local time (main hour hand) and the reference time (GMT hand).

24-Hour Bezel

The bezel on GMT watches is usually marked with 24-hour graduations or features an inner dial ring marked from 1 to 24. Common models showcasing this feature are the Rolex GMT-Master “Pepsi” and Rolex GMT-Master II “Batman,” both featuring two-tone bezels to distinguish day from night. Some models also come equipped with a rotating bezel for tracking a third time zone, which offsets the GMT hand reading.

GMT Hand

The fourth hand on the dial is the GMT hand, especially represented in a stark, contrasting colour with an arrow tip. It moves once every 24 hours in sync with the 24-hour scale on the bezel.

High Legibility

Enhanced legibility is a key hallmark of GMT watches. Although the dials are often slightly busier than the regular timepieces, but luxury watch brands design them with clear readability in mind. Additionally, the dials of these models are generally in dark colours, making a prominent contrast. Hence, the GMT watches, equipped with a GMT hand, luminous hour markers, and other elements, enable the wearer to easily read the time across different time zones.
