Lima GMT Transit The Palette
The Lima GMT Transit, specifically "The Palette" iteration, is highlighted for its successful blend of distinctive design and practical functionality in the multi-timezone watch category. Inspired by Dieter Rams' work for Braun, this model features a unique dial layout and compact case dimensions that appeal to a wide range of wearers.

- 45.6mm lug-to-lug
- 12mm thickness
- 20mm lug width
- 50 meters water resistance

The case features long, straight lugs and a wide brushed bezel, giving it significant visual weight despite its compact 37.5mm diameter.
The dial design of "The Palette" model is inspired by Dieter Rams and features colored dots referencing Braun's household appliance color swatches.
The watch utilizes a Seiko NH34 caliber, a reliable 'caller' style GMT movement with an adjustable 24-hour hand and date.
The GMT Transit "The Palette" comes with a dark grey Italian Alcantara strap with quick-release spring bars.
The watch lacks lume on its hands and indices, which is noted as a potential drawback for absolute utilitarian-focused sport watch enthusiasts.
A circular date window at six o'clock maintains dial symmetry, and a custom or altered date wheel appears to be used.
