The high-tech Instrument for the long-haul traveler
The new INSTRUMENT BR 01-93 24H GMT is designed specifically for the long-haul traveler. Its GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) function displays the time at two different points on the globe simultaneously.
The white hands on the main dial indicate the time at the wearer's current location, while the orange hand on the 24 hour graduated inner bezel shows the time in his country of origin. The large, white photoluminescent numerals, the inner bezel and the orange-colored GMT hand stand out against the black of the dial for perfect readability.
Movement is the automatic ETA caliber 2893. The case measures 46mm and is glass beadblasted steel with carbon powder coating. The crystal is sapphire with AR-coating and it is water resistant to 100 meters.
Bell and Ross BR03 51 GMT: Sexy, Light, and Priced Just Right

The Bell & Ross BR03 51 GMT is not only an extremely stylish piece, with its light weight titanium case, carbon fiber dial and orange hand on its second time zone dial , but it is a very complicated watch for the money. Not only does it have the two independent time zone dials but it also has a large double wheel date. Every watch enthusiast knows that every little complication added to a mechanical watch, increases the watches price.
A single crown can quick set the big date at the first position. By pulling the crown to the second position and rotating the hands clockwise, this will set the main time zone. By rotating the crown in the counter clockwise position, the main time zone will rotate counter clockwise, but the hour hand on the small time zone will not move at all, thus making it easy to set the two different time zones.
Truly complicated stylish and comfortable, the Bell & Ross BR03 51 GMT has it all at a fraction of the price of its competitors.
