Description

Poljot "GMT" watch. The time-setting crown rotates minute, hour and 24h hands together. 24hr han simply makes one round while hour hand makes two. Another crown rotates the bezel. The watch has a movement, dial and case that are unique to this model. I honestly can't understand why a design like this never made it into production, especially with the Soviet Union spanning 11 time zones. And it's a standout look, too!
