Re: GMT's

I believe the short answer is, "no". None of the Panerai work the way a Rolex GMT does.

My understanding is that the older style of Panerai are useful for keeping track of another single time zone or keeping track of GMT or useful as a 24 hour hand in your home timezone. Unlike the Rolex it is the 24 hour hand that quick adjusts and not the 12 hour hand. It "can" and "has" been used as a travel watch but it is not as straightforward as the Rolex.

The new style of Panerai GMT (in house movements) works on a 12 hour cycle, unlike the Rolex 24 hour cycle, and use an AM/PM indicator or day/night window. Much more useful as a travel watch AND for the aforementioned functions. However no Panerai, that I know of, has the 24 hour bezel which I would think would be quite useful in many situations AND the in-house movements are significantly more expensive.

I hope that I was reasonably correct with my information and possibly helpful in your search.

Cheers!
