The Classics index GMT provides an alternate time zone reference at a glance. The GMT hand with it’s unmistakable red triangle, makes one rotation every 24-hours and can be used to read off a second time zone on the 24 hour scale placed beneath the hour markers. In addition to the GMT, all the watches feature hours, minutes, seconds and date.
