The much-anticipated 2024 Geneva Watches & Wonders Haute Horlogerie Exhibition came to an end in mid-April. Rolex, one of the watch brands that watch friends are most looking forward to, has launched a "preserved egg ring", which has caused heated discussions, and TUDOR has also launched a new black and red "Coke ring". In the forum of the watch house, many cousins "look at the two-color circle for ten thousand years", and "want to start" after seeing it. To put it simply, the two-color ring is generally used on GMT watches, and the bezel represents day or night through two colors. In today's article, we pick out three two-tone watches, and see which one you like the most?

Watch Review: Rolex unveils the new Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II at Watches & Wonders 2024, a 40 mm stainless steel watch. The 24-hour scale bezel uses gray and black colors, and was given the nickname "Preserved Egg Ring" by his cousin. Before the "preserved egg ring", the GMT-Master was already equipped with a number of two-tone rings (such as: red and blue circles, blue and black circles, black and green circles), which were very easy to identify. The two-tone bezel is made of high-tech ceramics developed by Rolex and is extremely difficult to corrode. The lower part represents daytime time and the upper half represents nighttime time. The new Greenwich GMT Black Grey "Egg Ring" features a black lacquered dial with a 24-hour hand returning to green. The watch is equipped with calibre 3285, an automatic calibre equipped with Rolex's patented Chronergy escapement, which is immune to strong magnetic fields. The movement is also certified by the Superlative Chronometer and the Swiss Chronometer (COSC), so you can rest assured that it will be accurate. When fully wound, it provides 70 hours of power. The new Greenwich GMT "Egg Ring" is available with a three-link Oyster strap (above) and a five-link commemorative metal strap. The watch is water-resistant to 100 metres.

Watch Review: For Watches & Wonders 2024, TUDOR presents the new Black Bay 1958 GMT. The new model retains the classic case design of the Black Bay 1958 Calibre with a stainless steel case diameter of 39 mm. The most striking feature is the two-tone bezel, which is burgundy and black, showing the daytime and nighttime respectively. The 24-hour markers on the bezel, the hour markers and hands on the dial are gold-plated for a vintage feel. The black dial is decorated with a sunray finish and features the signature "snowflake" hands of the TUDOR diver's watch. In addition, the indexes and hands are coated with a Class A Swiss Super-LumiNova® luminescent coating. The new Black Bay 1958 GMT is powered by the TUDOR Manufacture calibre MT5450-U GMT, which is certified by the COSC and the Master Chronometer of the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS). The movement is equipped with a silicon balance spring and has a power reserve of 65 hours. The watch is available with a stainless steel three-link "riveted" strap or a rubber strap. Water-resistant to 200 meters.

Watch Review: The last two-tone ring comes from the Crowned Blue Lion, and although this watch is not new for 2024, thanks to its special design and high-frequency movement, it is a GMT watch that cannot be ignored. Created to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the brand's calibre 9S, this GMT watch features a 44.2 mm stainless steel case with a crown at 4 o'clock. The dial is inspired by the sea of blue clouds over Shizukuishi, the birthplace of the 9S movement. Doesn't it look like the sea of clouds you see from an airplane? The two-tone bezel is blue and white, with blue for night and white for daytime, and the blue and white color scheme brings a sense of freshness to the watch. As mentioned earlier, the watch was created to commemorate the 9S calibre, so it is natural that the 9S descendant of the 9S calibre is equipped with the 9S86 calibre, which is characterized by its high frequency, which guarantees a higher accuracy. Fully wound with a 55-hour power reserve. The watch is fitted with a stainless steel bracelet. Water-resistant to 200 meters.
Summary: If the "originator" of the two-color circle is the Rolex GMT-Master watch, the GMT-Master was first launched to help professional pilots navigate with their watches during long-haul flights. Today, this type of watch is becoming a popular choice for travelers. Which of the above three two-color ring GMT watches do you like best? (Photo/text: Watch House, Zhang Dalu)
