The lumed bezel remains for dive use but is now fully marked like that of a Mil-Sub (swoon). Moving on, we see the rehaut has been repurposed for a 24-hour GMT scale that corresponds to a matched orange GMT hand. No date is present in the render, but I wouldn’t kick it out of bed. Functionality would be based on a version of the BB GMT’s MT5612, with proper local jumping GMT support. In my mind, the key here is to protect the Pelagos’ true use as a dive watch, but add a useful and vacation-friendly GMT feature.
\nGrand Seiko makes its share of chronographs, but a search of their website reveals all Spring Drive models, most with a decided bent toward the large and the sporty.
