Micromilspec may be new to some enthusiasts, but in professional circles, the Oslo-based brand is already trusted. Founded by Henrik Rye with designer Anders Drage and a serving Norwegian Army member, the company built its reputation on custom watches co-designed with military units worldwide. From naval squadrons to combat battalions, even Norway’s King’s Guard, over 40 projects have been delivered, with ownership restricted to unit members. And now, it’s time for Micromilspec to fly with its first pilot’s watch, the Dualtimer.

This uncompromising approach defines Micromilspec’s DNA: Swiss-made mechanical watches, tailored to exact specifications rather than catalogue templates. Past projects like the Hercules for the Royal Norwegian Air Force and the Sentry for NATO’s AWACS paved the way for a pilot model to join the public collection, marking the start of a new Air series alongside the existing Land and Sea categories. Now, meet the Dualtimer, a pilot GMT watch that draws inspiration from its very origins.

The Micromilspec Dualtimer measures 42mm across and 12.5mm thick, its stainless-steel case brushed for a utilitarian yet refined look with chamfered crown guards. Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on the front, a solid screw-in caseback and crown, and 200m of water resistance ensure durability. A fluted 24-hour rotating bezel is a practical partner to the GMT hand, making it possible to track a second time zone at a glance.

The matte radial brushed dial is black, designed foremost for legibility, and Micromilspec has introduced a smart solution: dual-colour lume. The hour and minute hands, along with the main indices, glow green, while the GMT hand and bezel shine blue, cleanly separating local and home time even in darkness. A date window with an altimeter-style display at 3 o’clock adds everyday utility. Note that both the caseback and the dial can be personalised for professional squadrons.

The Dualtimer is powered by the Sellita SW330-2, an automatic GMT calibre based on the architecture of the ETA 2893 (the dual-time version of the 2892) operating at 28,800 vibrations/hour with a 56-hour power reserve and independently adjustable GMT hand. This means that we’re looking at a so-called office or caller GMT watch, not a proper flyer GMT (but that was to be expected with an outsourced movement and the price range).

The Micromilspec Dualtimer is worn on a stainless-steel bracelet, with optional rubber and leather straps, all fitted with a quick-change system. Prices start from EUR 1,670 on rubber strap and EUR 1,735 on steel bracelet. Orders are already open, and deliveries are scheduled for the first quarter of 2026. Production is limited to 75 pieces this year.

  1. Just to frame this as a personal wish — I fully recognize that this wasn’t designed with me specifically in mind, and that the team clearly understands their customers far better than I do. That said, if there were a way to make this in titanium and as a true GMT, I’d genuinely be willing to pay double.

  2. Give me a few days with this design and I could really improve the aesthetic. Not bad looking, not a bad price, few tweaks here and there.

  3. Wheew.. thank jesus for random no mark in the comments

    Gona fix all the world’s horology problems one mental part at a time

  4. Interesting but not putting lume on the dial numerals is a big miss for me. Also the bezel font doesn’t match the rest of the watch. Looks it like it was stolen from a Rolex.

  5. I think if they had put lum on the dail numbers it would have been to much in my opinion

  6. Much prefer the applied indexes vs the painted ones. I prefer the look of my GMT
    watch to this. Traveler vs Office movement. Don’t matter to me.

  7. They could’ve used miyota 9075 and came in and the same price for a true GMT timepiece
