GMT stands for Greenwhich Mean Time, which is actually an outdated idea that uses pre-1955 technology to determine time zones. The name was applied to timepieces that bore a 24-hour clock and a secondary hour hand, allowing travelers to keep track of time in two separate places.
GMT Watches in Short
GMT watches were made when jet airplanes came into common use, allowing people to move over many time zones extremely quickly. They were first made by Rolex and allowed individuals hopping across hours or days to keep track of what time it was where they were, and where they were going. These watches were elegant simplicity with dual hour hands that could keep wearers mentally in two places at once; avoiding calling home at 3am.
Breguet Hora Mundi
Thin Blue Line: The watch is often focused on simplicity rather than grace, but this kind seeks to break from that tradition. The amazing global background reminds you of the globes of a professor and the roman numerals call to mind ancient texts.
Casio Baby-G
Beginner’s Luck: Our most modest choice is generally kept for women or younger buyers. Though lean on price, the digital and analog (有长短针的) combination along with broad color schemes (配色方案) make it a choice that doesn’t look nor operate as cheap as the price would have you believe.
Seiko Kinetic GMT
Motion Activated: Surprisingly easy to operate for a kinetic (运动的) watch, the quartz movement is powered entirely by the motion of your body, yet won’t come unwound the second you touch the dial to set your additional hour hand. Ideal for long trips, it’s alive as long as you are.
Chopard L.U.C. Regulator
Golden Child: Styled after the clocks used by watchmakers to set their creations, the Regulator takes a little time to learn, since it splits up measurements all around the dial. Once mastered, it can be used as a basic stopwatch or minute-minder without needing any adjustment.
