The Slowhand

Eric Clapton earned the nickname Slowhand early in his career, after a now-famous onstage ritual. When he broke a string mid-performance, he would stay on stage and calmly replace it, prompting the crowd to start a rhythmic, slow hand clap that would build to cheers when the string was finally replaced. That moment of dry British humor led to a name that stuck. This watch draws from the spirit of his most iconic guitar — a custom Stratocaster built from his favorite vintage parts and played across decades of legendary shows. The dial design blends warm tones with crisp, balanced detailing. Slowhand is built for those who know exactly what they’re aiming for.

Vintage-Inspired Color

Slowhand combines classic tones with modern functionality. The matte black dial is paired with a warm cream GMT track, giving the watch a vintage feel with a contemporary edge. Bold, luminous hands ensure legibility, while the yellow second hand and orange arrow tipped GMT hand bring a hint of energy to the otherwise understated palette. A polished case and black leather strap with contrast stitching complete the look, offering a balance of precision, presence, and everyday wearability.

Connecting You Back to Home

The Touring GMT features this dual time zone functionality that works a little bit differently than most GMT watches on the market. Instead of the usual 24 hour scale with midnight located at the top, the Touring GMT uses an AM/PM scale that is visually split between daylight and nighttime halves, with midnight at the bottom. This allows the wearer to quickly understand if it’s daytime or nighttime back home, giving a more visual connection to loved ones than the more complex military time can.

Featuring the Miyota 9075

The wonderful Miyota 9075 is a movement that lines up perfectly with the concept of the Touring GMT. It’s a “True GMT” (often referred to as a Traveler’s GMT or Flyer’s GMT), which simply means that it’s easier for the traveler to change the local time. The main hour hand independently adjusts for quick time changes, while the outer GMT hand stays synchronized to home. The 24 jewel 9075 boasts a lovely high beat rate of 28,800 vph / 4 Hz, which shows in the buttery smooth seconds hand. A power reserve of 42 hours is perfectt for those on the go.

Each movement is regulated in-house to within +/- 10 seconds per day.

Built for the Road

The Touring GMT may not have the look of a rugged watch, but we’ve made sure that it can easily stand the pressures of the road. 10 ATM of water resistance ensures that you don’t need to be afraid of getting wet. Sapphire crystal protects the front and rear of the watch. Finally, both the case and bracelet of the Touring GMT are treated with a special hardening coating that will protect the watch from most everyday scratches.
