Author POV

Move the GMT complication into the Elegance line and the whole proposition changes: 39.5mm instead of a sport case, an ivory dial instead of a tool-watch face, crocodile leather instead of steel links, and water resistance that drops to 30m because nobody's diving in this. What stays constant is the independently settable GMT hand, which is the part of the complication I actually rate — a genuine second-timezone function rather than a rotating 24-hour bezel doing the same job with less precision. Proportions here sit closer to a dress watch than a travel tool, and that's exactly the point.
