The design

This GMT watch features open ended, tower-like hands and a unique ‘cigarette’ style GMT hand. Brushed & polished surfaces alternate to emphasize the design lines. The design communicates ruggedness through sharp angles and pronounced lugs.

thoughts

Re-interpreting the classic GMT sports watch gave opportunity to communicate its durability and technical nature through a strong angular design language. Cohesively placed details and a mix of material finishes elevates the design to luxury.
