MWC GMT Dual Time Zone Watch – Covert Black Stainless Steel
SKU Code: GMT/PV/B/QB
This GMT dual time zone watch in a covert black stainless steel finish is one of MWC’s newest models. It features a high-performance quartz Ronda 515.24 movement, housed in a robust 300m water-resistant casing, making it ideal for swimming, snorkeling, water sports, and scuba diving. However, as a GMT watch, its bezel is not specifically designed for diving applications.
Understanding the GMT Function
The concept behind GMT watches is both ingenious and straightforward. Unlike a conventional watch, where the hour hand completes a full cycle in 12 hours, a GMT watch includes an additional 24-hour hand, which completes one full rotation in 24 hours.
This additional hour hand allows you to track two different time zones simultaneously, while the 24-hour bezel provides a clear reference to distinguish AM from PM.
How It Works:
✔ 24-hour hand circles the dial once per day instead of twice, as with a standard hour hand.
✔ The tip of the GMT hand indicates the corresponding hour in the second time zone.
✔ The 24-hour bezel scale helps differentiate AM and PM, eliminating confusion.
MWC initially designed these watches for airline and navy pilots, as they enable users to easily monitor two time zones. Due to its quartz movement, this model is perfect for frequent travelers or professionals working across multiple time zones, requiring a hassle-free, low-maintenance timepiece.
