Where the Giorgio Galli series left off, Timex Atelier now carries forward with the same focus on proportion and modern design. The first chapter began with the Marine M1a, a distilled tool watch that established the collection’s vision. Now, with its second drop, that vision expands into one of watchmaking’s most beloved complications with the Timex Atelier GMT24 M1a.
The Timex Atelier GMT24 M1a brings refinement to a complication long associated with global travel. Every surface is deliberate, with each detail shaped to balance depth and wearability. Its modern profile reveals new perspectives the longer you live with it; subtle shifts in light, measured precision beneath the crystal, and a dedicated fourth hand tracking time across borders.
Precision Inside and Out
At the heart of the GMT24 M1a is the Swiss-made Landeron 24 GMT automatic movement, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour with 28 jewels. This high vibration rate allows for smoother hand motion and greater accuracy. Built to travel with you, the movement also provides a 40-hour power reserve to keep the watch running even when you are not wearing it. The craftsmanship of this caliber is revealed through the stainless-steel exhibition case back.
The 40mm skeletonized stainless-steel case offers structure without excess weight, paired with a black IP-coated stainless-steel middle case that creates an interplay of finishes. A screw-down stainless-steel crown secures water resistance to 100 meters to protect the movement against the unpredictability of the elements.
Clarity in Every Condition
Capping it all is the beauty of a double-domed sapphire crystal with triple anti-reflective coating inside and out. The curved profile of the crystal reduces distortion at the edges, and beneath it, a polished black enamel dial provides a deep, glossy backdrop for applied indices and high-polished silver hands both filled with Swiss Luminova. By day, they reflect light with crisp precision; by night, they glow with long-lasting legibility.
Designed to Move With You
Every travel watch requires versatility, and this GMT delivers with the option of either a stainless-steel bracelet or a premium NBR synthetic rubber strap. The bracelet features a custom-designed deployant buckle and self-adjustable links for effortless sizing without tools. The strap offers a more technical, tactile feel, secured by a matching deployant clasp.
Whether worn while crossing time zones or staying close to home, the watch reflects a design philosophy rooted in balance, proportion, and utility.
The Timex Atelier Philosophy
Timex Atelier watches are not designed to announce themselves; they are designed to hold up under attention. The materials selected for each piece capture our commitment to quality, while the design language reflects subtlety, proportion, and modernity.
This is a legacy, not of nostalgia, but of modernity.
