Blackpool GMT Automatic: The Ultimate Dual-Time Watch for Modern Explorers

Blackpool GMT Automatic – A Masterpiece Built for Global Precision
In the realm of fine watchmaking, there are timepieces that tell time—and then there are timepieces that tell a story. The Blackpool GMT Automatic from Serket Watch Co. is undoubtedly the latter. With its refined GMT complication, rugged construction, and thoughtfully designed aesthetic, this watch is more than an accessory—it's a tool engineered for modern-day explorers, aviation professionals, and watch collectors who appreciate both form and function.
As globalization redefines the pace of life, the need for tracking time across multiple zones has never been more relevant. The Blackpool GMT Automatic answers that need with remarkable elegance and durability.
A Tribute to Blackpool: Spirit of the Sea, Strength of Steel
The name Blackpool is not arbitrary. It pays homage to the coastal town of Blackpool in the United Kingdom—a historic port city known for its enduring maritime legacy, resilience, and connection to time and tides. This spirit of adventure and precision is infused in every component of the Blackpool GMT Automatic.
Designed for those who cross borders—whether physically or digitally—this watch allows you to simultaneously track local time and a second time zone, thanks to its independently adjustable GMT hand and 24-hour bezel markings. This is ideal for frequent flyers, business travelers, pilots, and even collectors who want a versatile watch that seamlessly transitions from work to weekend.
The Movement: Reliable Swiss Engineering
At the heart of the Blackpool GMT Automatic is a Swiss-made automatic movement—the hallmark of quality in horology. Serket Watch Co. sources its calibers from trusted Swiss manufacturers to ensure precision, durability, and longevity. Unlike quartz watches, which run on batteries, the automatic movement in the Blackpool GMT is self-winding, powered by the natural motion of your wrist.
This GMT complication enables the wearer to read the second time zone via the 24-hour hand and bezel scale—without disrupting the primary local timekeeping. It’s this utility combined with mechanical complexity that makes GMT watches especially admired by watch enthusiasts and world travelers alike.
Case Design: Built for Adventure
Constructed with 316L surgical-grade stainless steel, the Blackpool GMT Automatic’s case offers superior corrosion resistance and strength. The case size—perfectly balanced for presence without overpowering—is engineered to suit a variety of wrist sizes. The caseback is engraved with Serket's logo and is screw-down, enhancing the water-resistance and maintaining a solid seal against the elements.
The bezel features a 24-hour scale that works in conjunction with the GMT hand, allowing you to rotate and track different time zones intuitively. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal provides top-tier clarity while protecting the dial from daily wear and tear.
Water-resistant up to 200 meters (20 ATM), the Blackpool GMT Automatic is as comfortable in the ocean as it is in the office. This makes it a dependable companion for travelers and adventurers who demand durability and reliability.
Dial & Legibility: Clear, Functional, Striking
Legibility is a key priority in any professional-grade GMT watch, and the Blackpool GMT Automatic excels in this domain. The dial is clean and balanced, featuring high-contrast hour markers filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova, ensuring visibility in low light or at night. The GMT hand is color-contrasted for easy distinction, pointing to the 24-hour scale on the inner bezel.
The main time display is bold and direct, with luminous sword-style hands, and a date window positioned for optimal readability. It’s a design that emphasizes clarity, function, and utility without compromising aesthetics.
Bracelet & Comfort: Rugged Yet Refined
The Blackpool GMT Automatic comes fitted with a high-grade stainless steel bracelet that offers both ruggedness and comfort. The bracelet tapers elegantly toward the clasp and is secured by a robust fold-over deployant clasp with micro-adjustments, ensuring a precise fit for every wrist.
The watch sits comfortably due to its thoughtfully engineered lug-to-lug length and ergonomic curvature. Whether you're navigating airport terminals or remote wilderness, the Blackpool GMT remains firmly in place and ready to perform.
