KRONOSTI Atlas GMT

The Atlas GMT was crowdfunded on Kickstarter in mid-2026, with early-bird pledges from $209, and it puts a Grade 5 titanium case and bezel, a sapphire crystal and 300 m of water resistance into a travel watch. The bezel is a 24-hour world-time ring printed with city names rather than a dive scale, so it reads time zones rather than minutes underwater. The Gadgeteer's hands-on points out that the bezel turns freely in both directions, so a knock can shift it. The case is 41 mm across, 13 mm thick and 47.5 mm lug to lug, and it weighs about 65 g on rubber or 108 g on the quick-release titanium bracelet. The reviewer expected Seiko's NH34, as in the brand's other GMT, but Kronosti's own campaign specification names the Hangzhou 6460, a 4 Hz automatic GMT movement with a date.
