There are shockingly few choices for modern GMT watches
Alpina boldly claims to be "the inventor of the modern sports watch" on the history of it's Alpina 4 line, first released back in 1938.
The GMT has a 44mm diameter, but a hint of vintage styling and a slim profile.
The GMT is meant to provide two things: 1) The ability to track a second time zone with the red arrow hand, set separately to match up with the red and blue 24-hour track around the edge of the dial. 2) The ability to get one's bearings based on the position of the sun. You'll notice the bezel is graduated from zero to 36 in increments of three. Those are degrees (minus the extra zero – 21 is 210 degrees, and so on) and you can use the position of the sun, the GMT hand, and this bezel to get your compass bearings.
The movement inside is an in-house caliber, the AL550. It's automatic, features a 38-hour power reserve, and has a nice jump-hour setting mechanism for the main hour hand. This means that when you're traveling you can leave the GMT hand on home time and quickly adjust the local time. The watch retains all four of the original Alpina 4 traits – it meets ISO764 anti-magnetism spec, making it resistant to 4,800 A/m, and is water-resistant to 10 ATM (330 ft).
The Alpina Alpiner Automatic GMT retails for $1,995
