Voyager GMT with Rotating or Fixed Smooth Bezel

The Voyager GMT is the travel side of the Voyager/Vagabond pair. Same basic mission, but with a true GMT movement and a date window at 3 o’clock...

You can build it two ways:

In the 41mm rotating-bezel case with the Double-12 GMT bezel
In the 39mm smooth fixed-bezel case if you want the function without the bigger case and bezel

What you see above is the 41mm version with the Double-12 bezel.

What it does

The Voyager is for when you actually need to keep track of more than one time zone, not just pretend.

Seiko NH34 automatic GMT movement
Three hands for local time, plus a 24-hour GMT hand
Date at 3 o’clock
On the 41mm build: a Double-12 bezel that adds timing and a second 12-hour scale on top of the GMT hand

If you travel, have people in another time zone, or run on one clock while the rest of your life runs on another, this is the cleanest way to keep it straight.

How the GMT + bezel work

1. Local time (normal use)
You set the main hour and minute hands to local time. That’s what you read most of the day.

2. Home time (GMT hand)
The GMT hand is your “anchor.”

Set the GMT hand to home (or whatever you call “base” time).
It makes one full rotation every 24 hours, so it tells you time and day/night at a glance.

3. Second 12-hour scale (Double-12 bezel, 41mm version)
The Double-12 bezel does two things:

Puts a clear 12-hour scale around the dial so you can read an offset quickly
Keeps the daytime/nighttime logic of the GMT hand, without making you do “17:00 minus 6” math

You can:

Line the bezel up with local time and use the GMT hand for home
Or shift the bezel to quickly see another 12-hour offset if you’re juggling two away zones

4. Countdown and elapsed (built into the bezel)
The bezel also carries countdown and elapsed scales built into the lower halves.

For countdown, line up the amount of time you’re counting down from with the minute hand and let it walk toward zero.
For elapsed, set the triangle at the minute hand when you start and read how long it’s been as it moves away.

Same general idea as the T bezel on the Vagabond, but married to a true GMT movement and a date.

Cases, movement, and options

Cases

41mm rotating-bezel case – the full Voyager setup with the Double-12 bezel.
39mm fixed-bezel case – smaller footprint, same NH34 movement and dial, no rotating bezel.

Both can be ordered in brushed stainless or PVD black.

Movement

Seiko/TMI NH34 GMT automatic
Hacking, hand-winding, and built to be serviced, not thrown away

How ordering works

This is a made-to-order build:

You choose case size, case finish, and strap/bracelet.
If you choose the 41mm rotating case, this model uses the Double-12 GMT bezel by default.
We pull your parts from the next batch, assemble, test, and ship once it passes a full function check.

No wall of finished Voyagers sitting in a warehouse. Each one gets built for the person who ordered it.

Where it came from

The Voyager started as the “full-strength” version of the guide/travel idea: take the same clean, readable design language as the Vagabond, then add a proper GMT hand and a bezel that earns the space it takes up.

The goal wasn’t to build a cosplay pilot watch. It was to make something you can actually live with in airports, hotels, rentals, and whatever you call home right now—and still read cleanly when you’re tired and half paying attention.
