The WMT Panton UAE is limited to 50 pieces. It’s 38mm stainless steel case gently tapers and curves over your wrist.

The Pepsi bezel is made of aged Brass; the (Bakelite-like) insert has UAE numeral markings. A double domed Acrylic crystal sits above a Tropical dial, giving the impression the watch has spent years absorbing the Sun's UV rays. The applied disc and baton indexes are lume filled with aged Super-LumiNova. The age effect is expertly done by hand, at 3 o’clock a date window. Baton’s hands have a Super-LumiNova infill. The center seconds hand has a lollipop balance. On the reverse a screw-down case back. Inside an Automatic Miyota. Fitted on a 20mm Stainless steel bracelet with a signed folding clasp.

Personal Note

One from the personal collection, I really wish I could keep them all but I truly would be a terrible watch dealer if I did... This WMT is fantastic, you really do get all the feels of a vintage Rolex GMT with a bakelite bezel, it's quite scary how great it looks to be honest!
