Isotope Reveals a New Limited Edition Version of their Unique GMT
Isotope has released a new version of their GMT 0º in a limited edition colorway with design help from Miguel Sabra. Miguel is a Portugal based writer covering both watches and tennis (there?s a surprising amount of overlap here), and the new version of the GMT 0º draws on both the landscapes of his home country and more sartorial points of reference. Regardless of how he came up with the color combination, it?s quite appealing, and makes sense for this unique GMT watch with one of the inventive time telling displays in recent memory.
The GMT 0º uses a rotating disc at the dial?s center rather than a traditional GMT hand to indicate a second time zone, as well as a date indicator around the dial?s perimeter defined by 31 holes with a moving colored indicator underneath that provides the correct reading of the date. It presents a great deal of information in a relatively small space, and the design places a premium on color choices, so the wearer can easily distinguish dots, holes, discs, and tiny bits of text at a quick glance. I reviewed an early version of the GMT 0º back in March of last year, and thought it had some legibility issues. This new colorway, however, has additional contrasting elements that might make it easier to read for some.
The new variant has been dubbed the ?Terra Maris,? which combines the Latin words for land and sea. The outer sector of the dial is a shade of brown that shifts from light to dark as you get closer to the out...
