Greubel Forsey GMT Black Titanium Watch with ADLC Coating

The Greubel Forsey GMT Black was introduced at SIHH 2015, representing the pinnacle of world time complications combined with a tourbillon. This latest edition features a lightweight titanium case coated with ADLC (Amorphous Diamond-Like Carbon), giving the watch a striking deep black finish while offering superior scratch resistance and elasticity.

Design & Case Architecture of Greubel Forsey GMT Black

The 43.5 mm Greubel Forsey GMT Black retains the iconic GMT layout. Its standout feature is the three-dimensional rotating globe at 7 o’clock, which revolves in real time, indicating world time and day/night cycles intuitively. The tourbillon cage at 5 o’clock is tilted at 25 degrees and completes a rotation every 24 seconds, showcasing both mechanical ingenuity and aesthetic craftsmanship. Despite the complex construction, the watch wears comfortably due to titanium’s lightweight properties.

Dial & Complications

In addition to the main time dial, the Greubel Forsey GMT Black features small seconds, a power-reserve indicator, and a second time-zone subdial. The sapphire caseback reveals a 24-time zone disc with major cities and an inner 24-hour ring with daylight saving time (DST) indications. This watch exemplifies Greubel Forsey’s philosophy of integrating functionality, legibility, and mechanical artistry in one instrument.

Movement – In-House Caliber GF05

The watch is powered by Greubel Forsey’s in-house Caliber GF05, operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour with a 72-hour power reserve. The movement consists of 40 jewels and is meticulously finished, highlighting the brand’s dedication to high-end horology. Every component, from the rotating globe to the tourbillon, is crafted to deliver precise timekeeping combined with visual sophistication.

Limited Edition & Collector Appeal

The Greubel Forsey GMT Black is limited to only 22 pieces worldwide, with a retail price of approximately 480,250 EUR. Its combination of technical mastery, lightweight titanium construction, and ADLC coating makes it highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs of haute horology.
