Most GMT watches can track up to three time zones, some even more. The GMT complication makes it a watch of great utility due to its versatile functionality. Apart from being able to tell time as any other watch, the GMT watch can be used to keep track of several time zones, both at home and abroad, while also doubling as a compass. When choosing a GMT watch, it is important to look for designs with good visibility, so you can easily distinguish regular hands and markers from the GMT hand. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTHE HISTORY OF THE GMT \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe history of the GMT complication dates back to the 1940s and 50s. The GMT watch was first intended for pilots flying across time zones in a matter of hours, as it kept track of both the local time and the time in the place from where they departed. It was first and foremost a utility, a tool which the pilots could rely on to remember loved ones at home in the midst of traveling the world. As the world became much more interconnected, and flights became longer, the GMT watch experienced a growing demand.  Today GMT watches are still cherished due to their functionality and design features, making it one of the most popular watch models available. At AV86 we offer several two-toned and one-toned GMT watches. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWHAT DOES GMT MEAN?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMaybe you’re wondering what GMT means? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGMT stands for Greenwich Mean Time;  a concept which originates from the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eInternational Meridian Conference back \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ein \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e1884.

With this benchmark, the growing need to keep track of several time zones as the world embraced its interconnectedness, resulted in the creation of the first GMT watch in 1953. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHOW DO YOU USE A GMT? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe bezel of a GMT has a total of 24 markers which reference 24 hour GMT time with ground-zero meridian in Greenwich, London. Make sure the bezel is in its standard position by aligning its 24H with 12H on the dial. Set the watch to your current local time by pulling the crown to 2nd position. Hereafter, pull the crown to 1st position and turn clockwise to adjust the GMT hand to home time (the place from where you will depart) until it matches with the 24-hour bezel. If your current time is 11.00am, you simply turn the GMT hand until it reaches 11 on the bezel. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNow, if you land in a timezone an hour ahead and wish to adjust your watch to your current timezone, pull out the crown to 2nd position and set the time one hour ahead using the hour and minute hand.

If your desired timezone is six hours ahead, you rotate the bezel six clicks (six hours).
