Miyota 9075 GMT Movement (Traveler’s GMT)
“GMT” stands for Greenwich Mean Time, and is based in Greenwich, England. It is the time against which the rest of the world’s time zones are compared. The GMT watch complication was developed for transoceanic pilots to track time in two time zones. Pan Am™ Airlines approached Rolex™ and requested a watch built for these pilots. In 1954, the GMT-Master was introduced and was put to work. The Winfield GMT models use the same functionality as these classic watches.
Initial Set-Up:
- Unscrew the crown: It will pop out slightly to the “A” position.
- Wind the crown: Turn it in a clockwise direction for 10-15 winds.

Set the 24-hour and minute hands:
1. Pull the crown out to the “C” time adjusting position.
2. Rotate the crown counterclockwise until the 24-hour hand and minute hand are set at home time.
- Example: If it is 1:20 am home time, the 24-hour hand should be at the 1 o’clock position and the minute hand should be at the 20-minute position.
