Definition and Functionality
GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) watches are engineered to display time across two distinct time zones simultaneously. These timepieces utilize an additional hour hand that points to a 24-hour scale, providing a clear distinction between day and night in the secondary time zone. The concept of GMT originates from Greenwich, London, the reference point of the global time system at 0 degrees longitude.
Applications and Benefits
Originally designed for aviators navigating across multiple time zones, GMT watches have become indispensable for frequent travelers, global business professionals, and enthusiasts of precise horology. The 24-hour bezel or flange aids quick calculation of the secondary time zone while ensuring clarity between AM and PM. Unlike standard dual-time watches, true GMT watches adhere to the 24-hour scale, offering unmatched precision and utility.
