GREUBEL FORSEY GMT Quadruple Tourbillon
Greubel Forsey now offers its GMT Quadruple Tourbillon with a titanium case and adds eye-catching new blue hues to the dial of the highly complicated 46.5mm watch .
With its new case , the watch is one-third lighter than the original white gold model , which Greubel Forsey debuted in 2019 . To complement that lightness , the watchmaker attaches a new rubber strap to the watch , which quite effectively enhances the modern profile of the watch , adding a touch of sportiness .
As noted , the new dial treatment maintains that message , with an electricblue-hued hour ring and power reserve indicator . The circular-grained hour ring retains its polished bevels , echoing the mainplate , which Greubel Forsey has made more contemporary with its own gray frosted and spotted finishing . The plate boasts a full complement of polished bevels and countersinks .
Greubel Forsey has also re-faced one of the watch ’ s many technical highlights : its titanium GMT globe . This miniature planet Earth , which Greubel Forsey debuted in 2011 , now displays the continents amid newly bright blue seas , a livelier depiction than the globe rotating within the white gold GMT Quadruple Tourbillon two years ago . The new ocean color nicely matches the new blue finish of the power reserve , hour circle and strap .
