The IWC Spitfire UTC is an extremely discreet GMT watch. Its stealthy brushed steel case and dial make it the watch of choice for the no-nonsense international executive or businessman.
UTC stands for Universal Coordinated Time (for an explanation of the strange abbreviation, click here), and it is, for our purposes, equivalent to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). The IWC has a very clean dial layout, and a traveler can easily read his home time off the U-shaped aperture at 6 o’clock.
Hailing from IWC’s iconic military pilot’s range, the Spitfire UTC is also a tough watch, its screw-in crown with the classic IWC fish logo giving it a water resistance of 50m. Yet with its elegantly simple dial, it is also a watch you can wear to formal dinner parties.
For those who prefer watches on bracelets, this IWC’s bracelet is elaborate, but I can also personally attest to it being among the most comfortable bracelets ever designed. Highly recommended.

Rolex watches are known for their legendary robustness, and the GMT Master II is no exception. Water-resistant to 100 meters, this is a tried-and-tested sports watch that can easily take rough handling.
The original Rolex GMT Master was the very first watch to show the home time display with a 24-hour hand from the center of the dial, and using the rotating bezel makes it possible to read the time in three timezones at once. By today’s sports watch standards, the case of the GMT Master II is quite thin and fits comfortably under a shirt sleeve.
Indeed, its classic looks have remained largely unchanged since the original, and it remains one of the most recognizable and popular watches for jet-setting executives and business people.
