The GMT function allows the wearer to view the time in two different time zones. Orient offers a variety of GMT (or Dual Time) watches that won’t break the bank.The Orient Voyager and Explorer 1. The Orient Voyager is a sport watch at heart—both in function and looks. It features a GMT complication along with power reserve and date. The slide rule on the outer bezel is a nifty tool for simply calculation. The dial is embellished with a stamped pinstripe pattern that dresses it up just a tad. The lightly toothed bezel and 100m water resistance keeps things on the sporty side. Pictured models (FDH01002D and FDH01002B) priced at $715, but less 30% comes to $500.

The Orient Explorer has been a top selling GMT watch for a long time, and for good reason: It’s an elegant, dressy watch that just looks downright stunning. The dial has a lot going on, but the pointed hands will lead the way. The Explorer comes on a premium leather strap with a deployment clasp for extra comfort. The movement is hacking (seconds halt) and crystal is sapphire. The case back features a fully dressed movement. The Explorer is a must have for the ambitious globetrotter or international businessman. Pictured model (FDH00001B) priced at $715, but less 30% comes to $500.
