SKIPJACK
Designed with the avid traveler in mind, the Skipjack GMT was created for those who wish to keep time in multiple parts of the world, providing the ability to operate in two time zones. An additional hand and a separate 24-hour scale enable the instrument to indicate time in both a 12-hour and 24-hour cycle. Each hourly correction of the 24-hour hand indicates the next time zone going east. The intricate steel case with its coined sides and leveled bezel produces a unique clash of classic and contemporary when paired with either the silver or black dial. The decorated 2893-2 automatic movement is observed through the anti-reflex scratch resistant sapphire crystal exhibition case-back. Functions include: sweep-second, minute, hour, central 24-hour indicator, date window at 3-o'clock.

The Skipjack GMT represents our appreciation for the versatility of classic design. It was created through a deliberate collaboration between traditional and progressive principles to shine light on the everlasting utility of innovations from the past. Named after the Chesapeake Bay’s distinctive sailing vessels that evolved in the late 1800’s as a result of increased demand for oysters. Between the two-time-zone complication and its intertwining design principles, the Skipjack GMT commemorates various moments in time. This contrast tells the story of what inspired its making, in which these same low-draft sailing vessels continue to be used today, now dredging blue crabs into shallow grassy reaches of the bay’s tributaries. Like the Skipjack vessels, the SKJ100 will forever deliver when called for. An instrument specifically designed for timeless utility and value.
