Miyota

Miyota's GMT complication caliber built on the 90-series platform, featuring an independently adjustable 24-hour hand for tracking a second time zone. At 28 jewels it has the highest jewel count in the Miyota automatic lineup. The 5.67mm height accommodates the additional GMT wheel train, and the true GMT function with jumping local hour hand makes it a compelling alternative to Swiss GMT movements at a fraction of the cost.
