GMT Two

Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TenSixWatches

I like all things Black and White, especially with an additional point of contrast. The GMT Two was my first quartz build and I decided to put contrast into practice. 

GMTs are great for anyone who regularly travels or likes keeping track of two timezones. A quartz movement is a nice idea for a GMT since it requires the extra task of setting the 24-hour hand. If you want to be able to quickly pick it up and go, having it constantly running on battery is a reasonable approach.

The details:

This is a simple design, but a solid timepiece with a Swiss quartz movement and sapphire crystal within the black PVD case. And it certainly stands out (including at night)! 

The watch diameter is a little on the smaller side (35mm) so it is best suited for a smaller wrist. The crown guard helps protect the crown from being accidentally touched or moved given lots of movement.
