Embarking on new adventures has never looked this refined. The About Vintage 1982 GMT World Traveller Watch (£399) blends vintage charm with contemporary functionality, making it a perfect accessory for globetrotters and style enthusiasts alike. As the brand’s first GMT quartz model, this timepiece delivers understated sophistication without sacrificing practical appeal.
Originally designed for pilots navigating across time zones, the GMT function allows wearers to keep track of local time and a secondary time zone with ease. The 1982 GMT World Traveller democratizes this once-exclusive feature, offering it to today’s adventurers who crave both utility and elegance.
This watch’s aesthetic is a celebration of duality. Golden-toned hands and luminous dots evoke nostalgic warmth, while the sleek colour palettes of its two editions add a touch of modern simplicity. One version features a bi-directional bezel in polished anodized aluminium, with a striking combination of dark blue for nighttime hours and off-white for daytime. The other edition opts for a warm grey and cold grey pairing, achieving a subtle yet striking visual contrast. The bezel’s 60-click functionality further enhances its practicality.
The dial’s Black Sunray design features enhanced visibility through golden lumina-coated markers, with larger indices at 12, 6, and 9 o’clock for added clarity. The orange arrow-shaped GMT hand not only provides a pop of colour but ensures effortless tracking of a second time zone. Together, these elements deliver a harmonious balance of vintage spirit and contemporary flair.
Crafted from 316L high-precision stainless steel, the individually numbered case boasts a screw-down caseback for durability and water resistance up to 10 ATM (100 meters), making it suitable for swimming. Its domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating ensures maximum readability and scratch resistance. The 41mm case diameter and 12mm thickness provide a balanced fit for everyday wear.
Complementing the timepiece is a classic 5-link bracelet with a quick-release mechanism, ensuring comfort and ease of adjustment. Delivered in a premium compact PU leather box, this watch exudes luxury from presentation to performance.
The About Vintage 1982 GMT World Traveller Watch isn’t just a tool for telling time; it’s a story of exploration, craftsmanship, and timeless style. Whether you’re navigating the skies or the streets, this watch is your trusted companion for life’s endeavours.
