26 November 2024

The perfect choice for frequent flyers, businesspeople, and globetrotters: GMT watches typically allow you to keep track of up to two additional time zones alongside the local time. Practical and versatile, they are ideal for those who frequently interact with or travel across different time zones. In this article, we present our selection of the best GMT watches for every budget a comprehensive guide for beginners and collectors.What types of GMT watches are there, and how do they differ from one another?To get to the heart of the question of what the difference is between the most common types of second-generation GMT watches, let's take a closer look at Breitling's Chronomat and the GMT-Master II. At first glance, both differ little in their function; however, one is an office' GMT watch, while the other is a traveller' GMT watch. The difference only becomes apparent when you take a look behind the dial and at the movement construction, as the two watches differ in how their hands can be adjusted.The Office' GMT WatchThe office' GMT watch allows for the independent adjustment of the GMT hand. The regular hands, which are responsible for showing the local time, remain unaffected in this crown position. In the next crown position, where the regular hands are adjusted, the GMT hand moves as well. To set a second time zone, you simply need to align the GMT hand with the 24-hour scale on the bezel or rehaut. These watches are, therefore, more suited for people living in a fixed time zone but who frequently need to work with or communicate across other time zones.The Traveller' GMT WatchBy contrast, the traveller' GMT has the advantage that the regular hour hand can be adjusted independently of the GMT hand, without needing to stop or reset the watch. This makes it ideal for travellers who want to keep track of their home time with the GMT hand, while easily adjusting their local time. This is why watches with this function are generally referred to as traveller' GMT watches.
