The complication adopted for the GMT 1 is a "True GMT, " where instead of adjusting the 24-hour hand, the local hour hand can be independently adjusted in one-hour increments forward and backward, with date changes up or down in tow. This enables quick responses when there is a need to change time zones.
The addition of the bi-directional bezel allows for a myriad of possible timekeeping uses apart from a third-time zone. Furthermore, considering durability, this rotating bezel has been carefully chosen to be clickless with a specific tension for ease of usage.
The Kurono GMT 1 retains the curved Kurono 38mm high-polish case with the addition of the glazed bi-directional rotating bezel. It features lacquer-filled 24-hour markers, as well as the now iconic art-deco concentric lines that serve as a day-night indicator. Thematic coordination is brought to the dial via contrasting black, gray, and crimson dial rings - each demarcating the various time and time-zone functions of the watch. The combination of high-polish leaf hands for the hour and minute hands with modern hands is a typical Kurono design. The hour and minute hands are curved at both ends, and are paired with a counterweighted second hand that is very thin. The tips of the second and minute hands are bent by hand.A 24 hour arrow hand is in red filled with superluminova. Complications: hours, minutes, seconds, GMT.
