Tudor Biwan Professional Watch
Tudor actually launched a sand circle style GMT watch this year, but I think this Biwan professional watch is more interesting and fresher. The 39 mm size is equipped with the GMT for the first time. The design of the watch is not fancy, it is a typical tool watch. The 39 mm stainless-steel case is equipped with a stainless-steel GMT bezel with a stainless steel strap (leather and textured straps are also available), and the case, bezel and strap are frosted and understated. The watch is also equipped with the iconic large crown and snowflake hands of the Biwan series, and interestingly, the eye-catching yellow GMT hands are also designed in the shape of snowflake needles. This GMT hand indicates the departure time, looping the dial every 24 hours for a week.

Rolex Sprite Circle GMT Left-Handed Watch
The most talkative GMT watch this year is definitely this Rolex Sprite circle GMT left-handed watch (ref. 126720VTNR)). Although the green and black two-color bezel is not uncommon, it is the first time in Rolex, and the Rolex two-color Cerachrom ceramic bezel is yds, which is difficult to surpass in terms of texture and visual effect. In addition to introducing a new color scheme, the new Greenwich II is a rare left-handed watch. This is also very rare for Rolex, doubling its value.

In 2021, Parmigiani launched a number of Tonda PF series formal wear sports watches, and the exquisite and luxurious yet recognizable appearance quickly captured consumers. This year, the world's first Tonda PF series split-seconds watch was launched. If you don't say how to say that Parma johnny is maverick, in the past, everyone often combined the split needle function and the timing function, and this time parmajony boldly combined the split needle function and the GMT in China, which can be described as a pioneering move. The operation is also very convenient, in addition to the hour hand and minute hand, there is also a rose gold needle on the plate surface, which overlaps the hour hand. When we don't usually need this function in two places, the rose gold hands are "hidden" under the hour hand, which is perfectly covered. When we need to read the local time, just press the button at 8 o'clock, and the hour hand stacked on top will jump forward for 1 hour, so that the rose gold hand below can be revealed, and the rose gold hand also has the hour hand function to display the wearer's home time.
