How a GMT function works

Alongside the ordinary hands, the NH34 adds a GMT hand that completes one rotation in 24 hours. Read it against a 24-hour scale while the normal hands show local time. The second time-zone display differs from a stopwatch: a VK63 chronograph times intervals, while a GMT MOD follows another time zone.

Who a GMT is for

A second time zone can help when travelling or keeping in touch with people abroad. Compare how clearly the GMT hand stands apart from the other hands and how easily you read the scale. Then compare the case dimensions and bracelet with a watch you already find comfortable. Names such as Pepsi, Rootbeer or Bruce Wayne describe colour styles; the stated NH34 movement establishes the GMT function.

Which MedoMods offer GMT?

The GMT MOD collection includes NH34 models. Open a watch and compare its movement, dial, bezel, case dimensions and offered bracelet. The buying guide walks through the choice. For a date watch without GMT, see the NH35 guide; the NH35/NH36 comparison explains those movements’ calendar functions.
