As its name implies, dual time watches are timepieces that indicate two time zones. The second time zone can be displayed on a 12-hour scale, typically paired with an A.M.\/P.M. indicator,&nbsp; like on the Rolex Cellini Dual Time watch. The second time zone can also be displayed on a 24-hour scale, forfeiting the need for a day\/night indicator such as on the Rolex GMT-Master watch.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Rolex_Skydweller_326938_5D3_1461-2-2-Edit.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Sky-Dweller GMT Function Yellow Gold Roman Dial 326938\" class=\"wp-image-19779\" title=\"Rolex Sky-Dweller ref. 326938\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Rolex_Skydweller_326938_5D3_1461-2-2-Edit.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Rolex_Skydweller_326938_5D3_1461-2-2-Edit-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Rolex_Skydweller_326938_5D3_1461-2-2-Edit-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Rolex_Skydweller_326938_5D3_1461-2-2-Edit-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Rolex_Skydweller_326938_5D3_1461-2-2-Edit-585x293.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Understanding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/editorial\/what-is-a-gmt-watch.html\">what is a GMT watch<\/a> helps clarify its distinction from other dual time watches. While all GMT watches are dual time watches, not all dual time watches are GMT watches. The defining feature of a GMT watch is its use of a 24-hour scale to display the second time zone. The term &#8220;GMT&#8221; refers to <a href=\"https:\/\/greenwichmeantime.com\/what-is-gmt\/\">Greenwich Mean Time<\/a>, which was once the primary time standard for aviators, though it&#8217;s now replaced by Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This 24-hour display is key to answering the question of what is a GMT watch and sets it apart from other types of dual time timepieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking it a step further, \u201ctrue\u201d GMT watches are characterized by an independent 12-hour hand that jumps back and forth so it can be set to a new local time without disturbing the rest of the watch. This type of watch is particularly practical for frequent travelers, who can always have the 24-hour hand pointing to a reference time of their choice (home time, UTC, secondary office location, etc.) and easily jump the 12-hour hand to their current local time zone whenever they land in a new destination.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1210\" height=\"763\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rolex_skydweller_326139-5D3_9809-Edit-2-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Sky-Dweller GMT Watch White Gold Arabic Dial Leather Strap 326139\" class=\"wp-image-39732\" title=\"Rolex Sky-Dweller ref. 326139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rolex_skydweller_326139-5D3_9809-Edit-2-1-1.jpg 1210w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rolex_skydweller_326139-5D3_9809-Edit-2-1-1-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rolex_skydweller_326139-5D3_9809-Edit-2-1-1-768x484.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rolex_skydweller_326139-5D3_9809-Edit-2-1-1-1024x646.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rolex_skydweller_326139-5D3_9809-Edit-2-1-1-585x369.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1210px) 100vw, 1210px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Rolex Sky-Dweller<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If we look closely at the dial of the Rolex Sky-Dweller, we see that the second time zone is indicated via a 24-hour off-centered disc. That disc rotates while a fixed inverted red triangle points to the hour in the second time zone. Additionally, the hour hand can be adjusted in one-hour increments both forward and backward, without affecting the other hands or the reference time disc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, yes, the Rolex Sky-Dweller is a GMT watch &#8211; a \u201ctrue\u201d GMT watch, in fact.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Rolex_SkyDweller_326934_5D3_8874-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Sky-Dweller a GMT time zones blue dial stainless steel 326934\" class=\"wp-image-41740\" title=\"Rolex Sky-Dweller ref. 326934\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Rolex_SkyDweller_326934_5D3_8874-2-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Rolex_SkyDweller_326934_5D3_8874-2-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Rolex_SkyDweller_326934_5D3_8874-2-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Rolex_SkyDweller_326934_5D3_8874-2-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Rolex_SkyDweller_326934_5D3_8874-2-1-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>In addition to is dual time capabilities, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/watch-101\/rolex-sky-dweller-annual-calendar.html\">Sky-Dweller is also an annual calendar<\/a> that displays the date through a window at 3 o\u2019clock and the month via a dozen apertures adjacent to the hour markers. The clever annual calendar complication means that the watch can differentiate between months with 30 or 31 days and requires only one date adjustment per year, when the month changes from February to March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another notable technical feature of the Sky-Dweller is its fluted bezel, which is not just decorative but an integral part of the watch&#8217;s functionality. It is linked directly to the <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.rolex.com\/watches\/oyster-collection\/sky-dweller#:~:text=The%20Sky%2DDweller%20is%20equipped%20with%20calibre%209002%2C%20a%20self,power%20reserve%2C%20convenience%20and%20reliability.\">Sky-Dweller&#8217;s internal movement<\/a>, and allows the wearer to choose which function will be set through the crown by simply turning the bezel.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1404\" height=\"936\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SkyDweller_.jpg\" alt=\"Rolesor Rolex Sky-Dweller GMT Watches Steel and Gold\" class=\"wp-image-37423\" title=\"Rolex Sky-Dweller Watches - Rolesor Steel and Gold\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SkyDweller_.jpg 1404w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SkyDweller_-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SkyDweller_-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SkyDweller_-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SkyDweller_-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1404px) 100vw, 1404px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Rolex Sky-Dweller is available in yellow gold, Everose gold, white gold, two-tone yellow gold and steel (Yellow Rolesor), and stainless steel with a white gold bezel (White Rolesor). The watches sport 42mm cases and Oyster bracelets; however, some of the full gold editions offer the option of a leather strap with a matching gold clasp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with being one of the most strikingly designed Rolex watches available today, the Sky-Dweller is also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/watch-review\/complicated-rolex-yet-rolex-sky-dweller.html\">one of the brand\u2019s most technically complex<\/a>.\u00a0Yet, despite its high-degree of technical functionality and the significant amount of information it presents, the innovative month display and off-centered GMT disc allow it to have a remarkably clean and uncluttered dial. Far less tool-like than the GMT-Master, but even more capable, the Rolex Sky-Dweller\u2019s GMT functionality coupled with its annual calendar complication makes it the ultimate luxury traveler\u2019s watch.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Rolex_SkyDweller_326939-5D3_9113-Edit-1.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Sky-Dweller GMT Functionality Watch White Gold Roman Dial 326939\" class=\"wp-image-41739\" title=\"Rolex Sky-Dweller ref. 326939\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Rolex_SkyDweller_326939-5D3_9113-Edit-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Rolex_SkyDweller_326939-5D3_9113-Edit-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Rolex_SkyDweller_326939-5D3_9113-Edit-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Rolex_SkyDweller_326939-5D3_9113-Edit-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Rolex_SkyDweller_326939-5D3_9113-Edit-1-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting with the GMT-Master watch in the fifties and followed by the second generation of the Explorer II in the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":41739,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2275],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[2286],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Is the Rolex Sky-Dweller a GMT Watch?
