GMT and World Timer functions have gone from luxuries to essential tools for the modern traveller
From Grand Seiko’s flawless Zaratsu polishing to Longines’ precision engineering, each piece showcases unique innovation
These timepieces prove global timing can be both practical and luxurious
In an era when connectivity across the globe is more critical than ever, having the ability to track a variety of time zones at a glance is a necessity, not an indulgence, for regular travellers.
Whether you’re coordinating virtual meetings across continents or touching down in different cities each week – tracking time differences is a constant challenge – one that luxury watches have beautifully resolved with GMT and World Timer features.
These horological masterpieces represent the perfect union of form and function, allowing the wearer the ability to track time across multiple cities with a quick glance at their wrist.
Whether you prefer a simple GMT hand or a detailed World Timer display, these watches show just how far watchmaking has come – giving today’s travellers exactly what they need.
These aren’t just fancy complications; they’re practical tools that make life easier for anyone crossing time zones.
The fact that they look incredible while doing their job is why both watch lovers and frequent flyers can’t get enough of them.
IWC Pilot’s Watch Timezoner TOP GUN Ceratanium
When IWC created its Timezoner TOP GUN in Ceratanium, they were not issuing a pilot’s watch – but rewriting the face of traveller’s encounter with time in its entirety.
This technological marvel unites IWC’s state-of-the-art Timezoner function with the Swiss luxury watchmaker’s proprietary Ceratanium material – a special titanium alloy that took 5 years to develop and perfect.
All-black looks don’t happen for cosmetic motives alone – but through the unprecedented capabilities of the material, combining titanium’s lightness with ceramic’s scratch resistance.
Beyond its use of cutting-edge materials and ease of use, the watch is powered by IWC-manufactured Calibre 82760 automatic movement, with a 60-hour power reserve to boot.
The party feature of the watch is its uncomplicated, logical city zone-changing mechanism; simply press down and turn the bezel to switch between 24 city locations inscribed onto the ceramic city ring, with the indications for hour, date, and 24-hour following in its wake.
Grand Seiko SBGM221
The elegance of Japanese horology is embodied in the SBGM221, a beautifully balanced form and function watch.
Born from Grand Seiko’s devotion to accuracy, this GMT watch is a masterpiece of tiny details showcasing its maker’s dedication to detail, with razor-sharp hands and perfectly polished indices that speak for themselves.
The cream dial works as a perfect canvas for that striking blue GMT hand, making it both easy to read and subtly eye-catching.
At 39.5mm, it sits perfectly on the wrist, housing the remarkable Calibre 9S66 – a high-precision automatic movement boasting an impressive 72-hour power reserve.
All parts of the SBGM221 convey Grand Seiko’s understated luxury, such as its stainless steel case, polished in a sharp yet delicate manner, and its box-shaped sapphire crystal, while the brown leather strap adds a touch of refined sophistication.
Breitling Navitimer Automatic GMT 41
The Navitimer has long been a faithful companion to pilots, and in GMT form, Breitling proves even a legend can adapt to modern times.
With its chronograph features removed and retaining its renowned slide rule bezel, this 41mm beauty offers a cleaner take on the classic pilot’s watch.
The Swiss brand has added a GMT function which transforms it from a cockpit tool into the perfect travel buddy – letting you track different time zones without missing a beat.
With its dial design that complements each other and the option to switch between a steel bracelet or alligator strap, it nails both tool watch toughness and boardroom elegance.
This Navitimer shows what Breitling does best – blending their rich heritage with modern functionality in a way that just works.
Longines HydroConquest GMT
Longines has masterfully merged the worlds of diving and travel with their HydroConquest GMT.
This isn’t just another sports watch – it’s a technical achievement that combines a serious 300-metre water resistance with sophisticated time zone tracking capabilities.
At its heart is Longines’ in-house Calibre L844, an automatic mechanism featuring a silicon balance spring, offering unmatched dependability, anti-magnetic field, and 72-hour power reserve, perfect for globetrotters of the 21st century.
Available in 43mm and 41mm cases, the watch has been designed to cater to various wrist sizes while maintaining its presence.
Its scratch-resistant ceramic bezels and sunburst dial colours in black, blue, and green give a modern touch to this versatile, multi-purpose watch, and contrasting central GMT hands allow for easy tracking of multiple timeszones.
TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT
When TAG Heuer updated its Aquaracer line, they didn’t just give it a facelift – they nailed the formula.
The new 42mm case hits that sweet spot between wrist presence and comfort, while its distinctive dodecagonal bezel and wave-pattern dial present a masterclass in modern dive watch design.
That two-tone ceramic bezel isn’t just for show either; it’s a proper GMT tool wrapped in luxury that lets you track different time zones with a simple twist.
Housing the new COSC-certified TH31-03 calibre with its impressive 80-hour power reserve, this isn’t your ordinary dive watch.
Available in mesmerising blue or green dials, with Super-LumiNova-coated hands and indices for superior low-light readability, the ingenious under-crystal date magnifier and sophisticated micro-adjustment system in the bracelet prove that TAG Heuer’s attention to detail ensures a perfect fit for the modern traveller.
These luxury watches are perfect for the frequent flyer
