A new watch set from Malaysian watch microbrand: Aerotec with its 4th successfull Kickstarter campaign
Why a diver with GMT tool? ____________________
The GMT is one of the most simple and useful complications in a globalized world. The better way to intuitively read 2 time zones at the same time.
The GMT is also a typical tool-watch function (originally created for cave explorers as an AM/PM indicator) and as reliable as a time-only watch. From a design point of view, it’s a graphic function (additional hand) and the time function can be used in different ways: as a second time zone or as a day/night indicator. The simple, graphic, useful, reliable, qualities are the ones most welcome for a tool-watch.
Diver or GMT? Why not both! ____________________
The AX GMT Diver is the new chapter of the AEROTEC story, originally designed with the ACE crystal and CORAL BAY'S indices and handset. The AX is a tribute to simple and robust tool-watches.
First of all, the design of the AX - Diver GMT has been based on reusing available tooling. The AX-GMT uses the same tooling as the ACE and Coral Bay to avoid producing a new one and therefore save a lot of energy. Secondly, the technical conception makes the production processes even simpler and less energy and material-consuming than the Sea Hunt. Lastly, like for the Ace, I wanted to use a repurposed movement which we found by sourcing the latest Seiko NH34 GMT automatic movement.
Like the ACE, the AX-Diver GMT is simple and "raw" and a readable, robust, graphic and sustainable tool-watch.
