FAQ
Here you will find answers to some common questions
What are GMT Watches
A GMT watch, or Greenwich Mean Time watch, is a type of timepiece that allows the wearer to keep track of two time zones simultaneously. Originally designed for pilots and travelers, it has a special feature: an additional hour hand that circles the dial every 24 hours instead of the usual 12. This 24-hour hand points to a second time zone, often indicated on the bezel or an additional dial. This way, you can easily reference your home time or another important time zone without having to reset your watch.
GMT watches have become popular not only for their functionality but also for their aesthetic appeal and the engineering that goes into them. They’re great for anyone who frequently communicates with people in different time zones or travels regularly.
Originally, GMT watches were developed for pilots, with one of the most popular GMT watches of all time being the ‘Rolex GMT-Master’ from the mid-1950s. Rolex produced this model with a striking blue and red bezel for pilots at the airline Pan Am. The bezel’s colouring led most people to dub the watch ‘Pepsi’ or the ‘Pepsi bezel’.
