Monta has announced an upgrade to their popular Noble collection today with the Noble Voyager. This new watch expands on the Noble concept, which is an old-fashioned luxury sport watch with distinct refined details that place just a click outside the ?tool watch? category, by adding a GMT complication. This, of course, makes complete sense for a sports watch that was conceived to go anywhere. Now, when you go there (or, anywhere) you?ll be fully able to monitor an additional time zone. 

The execution here is quite subtle, and unless you were really searching for it, it would be easy to miss the GMT complication entirely.
