Into the Depths: The Story Behind the HADAL – GMT

Into the Depths: The Story Behind the HADAL – GMT

Exploring the Hadal Zone

At the bottom of Earth’s oceans lies the Hadal Deep Zone, the deepest parts of the ocean, plunging into extreme pressure, darkness, and mystery. It is in these unexplored depths—ranging from approximately 6,000 to over 11,000 meters—that life and environment reach the limits of human understanding. That profound, dark frontier served as the inspiration for the HADAL – GMT, a timepiece designed for those who embrace diving, exploration, and craftsmanship.

A Design Born from Extremes

The HADAL – GMT shares more than just its name with the deep sea—it reflects its spirit:

  • A robust 41 mm 316L stainless steel case, with drilled 22 mm lugs and a rugged coin‑edge bezel, echoing the industrial functionality required in deep-sea gear  .

  • Water resistance rated to 200m, thanks to a triple-gasket, pressure‑tested crown—an homage to the reliability needed in extreme depths  .

  • The GMT complication—driven by a hackable Seiko NH34 automatic GMT movement with independent 24-hour hand—symbolizes navigating both depth and time zones simultaneously  .

  • High-contrast details, like a sloped ceramic bezel insert with white numerals and green lume, plus a blue GMT hand, are designed for legibility even in low‑light, deep‑water conditions  .

  • Double-dome sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, sleek sword-style hands, and polished finishes speak to both clarity and durability in harsh environments  .

Hand-Built, Limited Editions

Each HADAL – GMT is hand-built to order, with only 100 pieces per limited edition run—emphasizing a connection between artisan craftsmanship and the natural power of the ocean  . The model is offered in both polished stainless steel or Noir PVD black‑bead‑blasted finish, capturing a stealthy, deep‑sea aesthetic.

Diving Beneath the Surface

The HADAL – GMT isn’t just a watch—it channels the sense of exploration the Hadal zone inspires. Wearing it is a subtle tribute to the unseen world below, and a statement that you value purpose-built design.

Essential tools featured inside a finely finished watch case:

  • Triple gasket screw-down crown for secure water resistance

  • GMT hand to track a second time zone when traveling or diving

  • Ceramic bezel and strong lume for underwater clarity

  • Monstraps waffle strap and travel case included to gear up for adventure  .


Why HADAL – GMT Matters

  • It embodies authentic dive-watch DNA, built for serious use rather than mere aesthetics.

  • It appeals to enthusiasts who care about the story, elements, and engineering behind their gear.

  • It offers both functionality (GMT, water resistance, lume, durability) and soul, linking human craft with remote ocean life.
