Full Description

The 101-A21 Automatic GMT is meticulously crafted with the lineage of our renowned Holton Professional military issue model. Designed for precision and endurance, it features a robust shock protection system that ensures the reliability of it's GMT automatic movement even in the most demanding conditions.

Machined from solid 316L stainless steel, the case is vapour blasted with fine ceramic particles to create a matt pale grey, almost titanium colour who's appearance is both technical and beautiful to the touch.

In perfect contrast and framing the dial is a hardened steel bezel, with recessed 24h numerals topped with a bold 12h triangle, all flooded with vintage sand colour high grade SuperLuminova.

Under 2mm of toughened anti-reflective sapphire, lie four hands with bright matt white frames flooded with matching high grade 'lume' for perfect clarity.

The dual time GMT hand is perfect for travel and adventure with its bold arrow head, neatly missing the stubby hour hand to reference the 24h bezel for timekeeping in a second time zone.

Out of harms way at 4h lies the high grip crown, deeply recessed into the case and screwed down for protection against the hardest knocks.

Strap changes and personalisation are a cinch thanks to the fast release solid steel strap bars.

This no nonsense human powered automatic, is fit for purpose and ready for duty. It's no coincidence that it's technical specification reads like the ultimate watch kit check list.

The last two photos are stills taken from a video of a quartz Holton and a Kimmeridge strapped to an ROV in the Gulf of Mexico in March 2020, still working at 3900ft - almost 3/4 mile underwater.
