Why GMT Watches Are Trending in 2025

In a post-pandemic world fueled by global business, hybrid work, and the return of luxury travel, GMT watches are more than just a functional tool—they're a status symbol of refined utility. GMT timepieces are dominating 2025’s watch trends for one key reason: the modern man is always moving.

The Driven Decision-Maker doesn’t live by borders—he lives by purpose. Whether you're hopping time zones for business or managing global teams from a mountaintop café, a GMT watch like the Commodore GMT keeps you grounded in two worlds at once.

What is a GMT Watch – and Why Should You Care?

GMT stands for “Greenwich Mean Time,” the reference point for global timekeeping. A GMT watch features a fourth hand and a 24-hour bezel, allowing you to track a second time zone at a glance.

For today’s elite traveler or international entrepreneur, this means staying grounded—no matter where the world takes you. Whether you’re syncing calls with teams across continents or keeping home time while on the road, a GMT watch says: you’re in control.
