Think Rolex’s GMT Master is the only option when it comes to a utilitarian, dual-time watch? Think again!

Bulgari, the famed Roman jeweler, is also a fantastic watchmaker whose Octo Finissimo line has broken eight world records in as many years. These watches are fine examples of haute horlogerie — with price tags to match — but Bulgari also makes significantly more affordable, well built everyday timepieces.

Take the Aluminum GMT, for example: Dating to the 2020s, it’s housed in a 40mm lightweight aluminum case with a sapphire crystal, a signed, navy-colored rubber bezel, a luminous navy blue dial with a matching aluminum handset and a red-tipped GMT hand, plus an inner, dual-color 24-hour rehaut and a date window at 3 o’clock. Powered by the automatic B192 caliber with 50 hours of power reserve, it comes paired to a signed, integrated articulating navy blue rubber strap with a signed aluminum pin buckle.

In excellent condition, this Aluminum GMT ships with some of its ephemera and is water resistant to 100m, making it a perfect companion to summery adventures. 

This piece is an excellent exercise on a new take on of classic, romantic complication - and were into it.
