Female watch connoisseurs looking for a superb timepiece that can keep pace with a busy travel schedule should find great delight in the Blancpain GMT watch. A recent addition to the Blancpain Women’s Collection, this beautiful stainless steel or 18K white gold watch offers an intricate sunray-pattern guilloche dial that is adorned with stylish, modernized Roman numerals. Straps in satin add the kind of elegance that is ideal for formal business wear or evening attire alike, and the 18K version also adds a sparkling diamond bezel.
This Blancpain watch upholds the superb traditions that has placed Blancpain among the elite watchmakers of the world. The self-winding Calibre 5L60 movement, visible through the sapphire caseback window, scintillates with its fine finishing details. Its function is equally attractive and extremely intuitive–the hour hand can be rapidly advanced or moved backwards instantly via the screw-down crown, as you move through various timezones; during this operation, minutes and seconds operate normally, meaning the watch’s accuracy isn’t upset each time you get off the plane in a new locale. Meanwhile, the upper subdial on the watch’s face keeps track of a second reference timezone of your choice (such as your home location, for instance)–no matter how jet lagged your journeys may leave you, you’ll not be confused even for a moment whether it’s AM or PM in your reference timezone, thanks to the charmingly designed day/night indicator at the 9 o’clock position.
The elegant oval shaped window at 3 o’clock bears the date display, another often indispensable element for active individuals.
