MicroMilSpec is a hardcore watch brand from Oslo, Norway. This young, dynamic branded watch is rough, sturdy and ready for almost everything you can throw at them. For example, Millgraph shows off its sturdy military capabilities, especially with a newer version with a calm white dial. But the biggest news is the introduction of the MicroMilSpec Pilot Gmt Dualtimer, the brand’s first pilot watch. Both watches are limited to 75 in this year’s annual collection.
Last August, MicroMilSpec, a brand known for creating custom watches for military units and first responders, introduced its first watch to the public, Millgraph. The watch was originally developed for special operations forces and combines chronograph and GMT complications. It is “left-handed” and boasts a microblast-resistant grade 5 titanium case with a diameter of 42mm, thickness of 15mm, and lug-to-lag 50.3mm. The first Millgraph has a black dial, and the second coming in the 75-piece limited edition comes in a super white one. But I’ll go into that in more detail later. First, we will focus on the pilot GMT Dualtimer, the brand’s first pilot watch.
New MicroMilSpec Pilot GMT Dualtimer
Pilot GMT Dualtimer is a travel watch for pilots and passengers. This new watch is inspired by the brand’s more than 40 custom military watches. In particular, pilot GMT Dualtimer pays tribute to MicroMilSpec’s first committee. This is a Norwegian Air Force pilot’s watch. The new pilot’s watch is very aligned with the Millgraph, sharing an angle and detailed 42x15mm form. However, this current 200m water-resistant case is run with brush steel rather than titanium, and this time the crown is on the right.
The black 24-hour bezel is also quite different to the Millgraph, and helps you track time in two zones, day and night. MicroMilSpec uses a green Super Luminova to show local time and blue Lume on the GMT hand, indicating bezel indications at home. Travel/Pilot watches are not perfect and not functional without dates, so this GMT dual timer with instrumental past gets one. The date window is the style of a cockpit instrument.
Brush steel for dual timers
The pilot GMT Dualtimer is a more affordable watch, with the Millgraph chronograph function being reduced. With a black, orange or white textured rubber strap with steel pin buckles, the Pilot GMT Dualtimer costs 1,670 euros. The watch is also available in a brushed steel three-row bracelet, and costs up to 1,735 euros.
Inside it defeats the Sellita SW330-2 GMT, an automatic 4Hz movement with a 56-hour power reserve. This movement is the so-called “caller” or “office” GMT, allowing for independent adjustments of 24 hours of hand to track the second time zone, but 12 hours of hand is used local time. Perhaps once Celtita starts producing these, the second generation pilot GMT dual-timer watch will get an updated “Flyer GMT” feature. A clock with such a powerful instrumental background deserves it. On top of that, the price and looks of a steel watch could be a bigger blow than the more complex titanium firstborn of MicroMilSpec. This year, the brand will create just 75 pilot GMT dual timers. Top Fratello Tips: If the watch is talking to you, act fast and go to the MicroMilSpec website now.
Mill Graf White, new version of the first commercial micro mill spec watch
Millgraph White is the same as the first one, but with a dial in the opposite shade, which allowed us to shorten the short story. I don’t. Instead, we’ll give you details and specifications worth mentioning. This watch stands out with its distinctive bezel. The so-called Quadgrip adds practicality to turning the bezel and makes the watch stand out visually. The 60 minute scale continues under the bezel, so it does not interfere with the function of the watch.
This version of the new white dial shows three subdials of the GMT function, making it easy to read. The base is a 60 minute scale with applied time markers. Rehout has a 24-hour GMT scale. The three sub-dials have different sizes and visual and functional hierarchy sorting, with the minimum running seconds at 3 o’clock. The registers on the two chronographs are larger as they are above small seconds. And even within the chronograph counters there is a strict hierarchy. The largest is the 30-minute counter at 6 o’clock, and the 12-hour counter at 12 o’clock is the second largest on the dial.
Black, orange, white magic
It is wide and the oversized time and minutes of hands are hemisphered, while the other half is filled with Super Luminova X1. The topping for the hand stack is a slim second hand with an orange tip, and a black GMT hand with an orange arrow-shaped tip is the closest to the dial. Bright orange and fresh white combined with contrasting black can create magic on the clock dial when done correctly. Apart from the two orange hints, the word “millgraph” on the dial is the third subtle orange element. The three rules apply to watching the dial so that you can see it yourself. MicroMilSpec got everything right and right.
The 200m water-resistant 42 x 50.3 x 15mm brush titanium case holds the 4Hz La Joux-Perret L121 Caliber, an automatic columnar chronograph movement with a “caller” GMT function. The movement has 26 gems and offers a 60-hour power reserve. Again, perhaps soon, the iteration of the Millgraph will benefit from a promotion to a superior flyer GMT movement, just like the pilot GMT dual-timer. For now, please continue.
The MicroMilSpec Milgraph White is a limited edition of 75 pieces per year, and costs 3,500 euros for a white, black or orange textured rubber strap with titanium pin buckles.
