One watch…
Two time zones.
That’s the idea behind a GMT watch, one of the most practical complications in modern watchmaking for frequent travelers and professionals working across different countries.

What does « GMT » mean?
GMT stands for Greenwich Mean Time, the historic time standard based on Greenwich, London.
A GMT watch features an additional 24-hour hand, allowing the wearer to track a second time zone while keeping local time on the main hands.

The concept dates back to the golden age of aviation.
In 1955, Rolex introduced the GMT-Master for Pan Am pilots, enabling them to monitor both local time and their home base during long-haul flights. The idea quickly became a favorite among pilots, business travelers and watch enthusiasts.

Whether you’re flying across continents or keeping track of a loved one’s time zone abroad, a GMT watch keeps two worlds on your wrist.
