Track time effortlessly across different time zones with these good-looking GMT watches. See below our picks for the best options in this category.
1. Baltic Aquascaphe GMT Grey - Beads of Rice
Travel the world in style with this old-timey 200m water-resistant automatic diver on your wrist. It reflects Baltic's expertise at vintage-style watches. This GMT version has a dual-toned bezel with a sapphire insert, and is powered by the SOPROD C125 GMT movement with a 42-hour autonomy.
The date window at 6 o'clock, lumed accents, and the arrow-tipped GMT marker all contribute to the superb look and feel of this 39mm daily wearer. Even the caseback looks cool—it displays an engraving inspired by time zones across the world.
While you can opt for a rubber Tropic strap, we recommend the sharp-looking metallic Beads of Rice bracelet displayed here. You also have a choice of bezel colours.
2. Mido Ocean Star GMT - Stainless Steel with Rose Gold PVD - Stainless Steel with Rose Gold PVD Coating and Ceramic Bezel
Effortlessly switch between local and home time with the Mido Ocean Star GMT. It's a hefty (44mm), stylish, decidedly modern 200m diver's watch with an easy-to-use GMT function. Propelling this winner is Mido's ETA-based Caliber 80 movement that packs a high power reserve of 80 hours.
Our pick here features a black, silver, and rose gold combination in stainless steel, with PVD coating for the rose gold highlights. The caseback displays engraved time-zone indications for a quick viewing.
Substance, presence, staying power, Swiss origins, and a sub-$2000 price tag—the Mido Ocean Star GMT has it all.
3. NORQAIN Freedom 60 GMT White 40mm - Stainless Steel Bracelet
Stay on time anywhere in the world with this impressive, high-quality, sporty tool watch from NORQAIN. A dual-toned GMT ring that tracks home time claims centre stage on the dial. It's supported by hands and markers with "Old Radium" lume and a date display at 3 o'clock.
The open-heart caseback topped by sapphire glass reveals the NN20/2 movement, a 70-hour automatic-winding Norqain calibre made in partnership with Kenissi.
Our pick here ships with a classic stainless steel bracelet for maximum comfort.
4. Zodiac Super Sea Wolf LHD Pro-Diver GMT
This 42mm left-handed diver-GMT with a "murdered out" look is a good match for globetrotters of all stripes. It's a fully lumed piece with a DLC-coated black case paired with a black rubber strap.
White markers and the occasional pop of orange punctuate the all-black aesthetic, and the helium escape valve at 2 o'clock adds a dash of asymmetry. The screw-down crown adds water resistance of 200m and protects a COSC-certified C125 movement with a power reserve of 42 hours.
5. Hamilton Khaki Aviation X-Wind GMT Chrono Quartz
Whether you're hopping on a plane or just dreaming of distant lands, the Aviation X-Wind GMT Chrono Quartz from Hamilton is a safe bet in the tool watch category. Its huge 46mm case comes with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The dial encloses a date window at 3 o'clock, chronograph, crosswind calculator, and a GMT function.
We have featured the striking combination of a blue dial and brown leather strap offset by a stainless steel case and bezel.
6. Mido Multifort Dual Time - Stainless Steel - Stainless Steel Strap
At once subtle and dramatic, the Mido Multifort Dual Time carries some serious wrist presence. It's a true traveller GMT, meaning the 24-hour hand is adjusted to correct time for GMT/UTC.
One look at the watch and your eye will immediately be drawn to the Geneva stripes on the dial. The central GMT ring, surrounded by luminous indices, is broken only by the date indicator at 3 o'clock. An ETA-based automatic movement, Mido's Caliber 80, powers the whole setup and gives an autonomy of a whopping 80 hours. It's visible from the transparent caseback. A screw-down crown adds a water resistance rating of 100m.
Stay connected to your home while you explore new horizons with any of these stunning GMT watches. If you're not sure which watch is for you, we'd love it if you swing by our Discovery Watch Studio on Collins Street, Melbourne to experience them in person.
