Sanford MKII – Interchangeable Bezel / Tropical dial / Aged Edition

The WMT (Watch Experimental Unit) Sanford MKII is a vintage-style automatic GMT watch, here in the Aged Edition with a tropical dial. It is made for travellers who love period details, such as the two-tone bezel that rotates in both directions, just like the models of the past.

Two interchangeable two-tone bezels

Two years after the original Sanford, the MKII arrives. The bezel's proportions suit the vintage two-tone design, and the set includes two different inserts: one with an authentic aged effect and one with a more faded tone. You swap the insert by hand with a simple click.

The polished and brushed 316L stainless steel case is 39.5 mm in diameter, 14.89 mm thick and 47 mm long, with a screw-down caseback. The aged black dial has a date; the crystal is double-domed acrylic.

NH34 GMT movement

The Japanese-made NH34 automatic movement adds a GMT function, so you can follow a second time zone. On a traditional watch the hour hand turns once every 12 hours; here a second hour hand turns once every 24 hours, at exactly half the speed, pointing to the second time zone on a scale that runs to 24 rather than 12.
