The Naos Pro GMT is Sternglas’ Ultimate Travel Watch

Sternglas is a brand whose image is well-defined and recognized at this point. The Kickstarter-based watch company has come a long way, expanding its product line to include both quartz and automatic wristwatches for men and women who appreciate the clarity and simplicity of the Bauhaus school of design in a reasonably-priced package. Today that lineup expands with Sternglas’ new GMT timepiece, the Naos Pro GMT, a watch that takes the best-selling Naos and transforms it into an invaluable travel companion.

At first glance, the Sternglas Naos Pro GMT might be mistaken for the top-selling Naos thanks to their shared Bauhaus-inspired design. But look closer, and the beauty and identity of the GMT becomes clear. It comes in two configurations, and both are wonderfully sized at 38mm by 42mm by 11mm with 20mm strap widths. The classic silver model offers everyday versatility while the midnight blue version adds beautiful color and conjures images of nighttime cityscapes. Both are available on dark brown and black leather straps or stainless steel bracelets.

The beating heart of the Naos Pro GMT is the Miyota 9075, a breakthrough movement that has brought “true” GMT functionality to an entire new group of enthusiasts and collectors. With the caliber 9075, the wearer can independently set the local hour hand in one-hour increments, advancing forwards or backwards while allowing the secondary GMT hand to mark home time. Speaking of hands, the tasteful GMT hand perfectly complements the watch’s pencil hour and minute hands. As is the case with the rest of the dial, no element is too heavy-handed; all the components – hands, hour markets and hash marks, date window – are in harmonious balance.

Sternglas’ inspiration for the Naos Pro GMT is one of restraint and assurance. It’s clear the brand knows its identity and understands how to execute on it. This is a travel watch that works well as a watch, first and foremost. And with quick change straps, two versatile dial options, and a winning GMT movement inside, it’s ready to accompany you where your adventures take you. Launch price is $949 on leather and $999 on bracelet, savings of $50 from regular MSRP. For more details on product and pricing, visit Sternglas.com.
