The relationship between timekeeping and travel is a close one. With its roots in maritime history, progressing into aviation and our ceaseless endeavour to make the world a much smaller place, the GMT complication plays an important role by keeping us in touch with other time zones. If you’re a frequent flier, you’ll know that mild annoyance of resetting the time on your high quality replica watches to the new local time zone once you land. If you’re like me, though, you’ll quickly forget what the time is back home. A GMT-equipped watch fixes this, providing the ability to track multiple time zones at once. Simply put, it’s one of the most popular and practical mechanical watch complications – I’d even go as far as to say that no watch collection is complete without one.
GMT watch history
Before we get into our picks for the best GMT fake watches for sale on the market right now, it’s worth delving a little into the complication’s history. Dual time watches have existed since the 19th century, with the Industrial Revolution, colonisation, and globalisation making it increasingly important to be able to conveniently track time in two different locations across the world. Early dual time watches accomplished this by simply putting two movements into one timepiece that could be set to different times – a method that continues to see sporadic use even today.
The term “GMT watch” (as well as the modern format for a dual time watch) first came to prominence with the Rolex GMT-Master. The GMT-Master owes its genesis to Pan Am, who in 1954 commissioned the watch from Rolex for their pilots: since pilots constantly travel between multiple time zones, they needed a watch that could display their time at home (or a reference time, such as UTC/GMT) and be easily set to a new local time when they landed, without disturbing the home time displayed. Now, without further ado, here’s our guide to the best GMT copy watches wholesale.
Replica Cartier Santos de Cartier Dual Time Watches
Few watches are as cosmopolitan as the Santos de Cartier fake watches for men, which was originally designed as an aviator’s watch. We’ve seen a few GMT watch takes on this classic timepiece over the years, but 2024 has seen a Dual Time model return to the range, and this one might be the most cohesive yet. Neatly integrated at 6 o’clock, the second time zone and day/night indicator combine with a subtle anthracite dial, making it subtly stand out from other UK perfect Santos de Cartier super clone watches. A colour-matched date wheel is a nice touch, as is the dial’s tasteful sunray finish. The movement powering this Cartier is a fairly unillustrious Sellita number, but that’s neither here nor there – Cartier replica watches online has always been about style over all else, and this GMT watch is nothing if not stylish.

Fake Rolex GMT-Master II “Pepsi” Watches
In 1954, right in the middle of the jet-set era, Pan American Airlines, or Pan Am, commissioned Rolex to produce a watch for their transatlantic pilots. The result was the Swiss made replica Rolex GMT-Master watches, a watch with a rotating bezel showing 24 different time zones and a fourth hand, which rotated once per day. Almost 70 years later, the GMT-Master remains one of the most influential and popular Rolexes ever, with its original “Pepsi” bezel colour scheme (the red and blue actually chosen to reflect Pan Am corporate colours) easily the most popular version of this luxury copy watches. The modern GMT-Master II, unlike the original GMT-Master, is a “true” GMT watch – meaning it has an independently adjustable GMT hand – and features a ceramic bi-colour bezel.
