Prestex GMT
Prestex Broadgate GMT Automatic are modern British watches for those who want to combine distinctive design with the practical function of a second time zone. The Broadgate collection is named after Broadgate in the City of London, one of the British capital's most important financial centers. And it is the urban character of London that is reflected in the watches – they are confident, distinctive and contemporary, while retaining the typical design elements of the Prestex brand.
The dominant feature of this variant is the blue dial. The distinctive Arabic numerals are based on the typography Prestex uses across its collections, giving the watches a unique British signature. The black GMT hand clearly distinguishes the second time from the main time, while also creating a striking color contrast. The hands and indices are equipped with Super-LumiNova BGW9, so readability remains very good even in low light conditions.
At the heart of the Broadgate GMT is the Miyota 9075 GMT automatic movement, which offers true GMT functionality. Unlike common "office GMT" solutions, the 24-hour GMT hand can be set independently, which is particularly practical when traveling between time zones. Thus, the watch is not just a design piece, but a truly useful travel tool.
The 316L stainless steel case has a diameter of 40 mm, a lug-to-lug length of 47 mm and a thickness of approximately 13 mm. A flat sapphire crystal protects the dial from scratches, and a transparent sapphire case back allows a view of the automatic movement. The 200-meter water resistance then pushes the Broadgate significantly further than typical dress GMT watches. This combination makes the model a very versatile watch – it works equally well in the city, on a business trip, or on holiday.
The blue dial is complemented by a steel bracelet, which gives the watch a sportier and more relaxed character. Thanks to the quick-release system, the strap can be easily changed, adapting the Broadgate to different occasions in an instant.
The Broadgate GMT Automatic is Prestex for a new generation. It has enough character to stand out from regular sports GMT watches, while also offering a practical complication, 200 meters of water resistance, a sapphire crystal, and a compact 40mm case. And it is the combination of distinctive British design and truly usable GMT functionality that makes it a watch that makes sense not only to look at, but above all on the wrist.

About the brand
Prestex is an independent British watch brand, building on over a century of history of the Duckworth family. Its roots go back to 1869, when the family company Prestons of Bolton was founded. In the 1920s, watches under the Prestex name were produced for customers all over the world. The historical experience with chronographs, pocket watches, and elegant dress watches now forms the basis on which the brand builds its modern collections.
The current Prestex is led by Neil Duckworth, who has many years of experience in the watchmaking industry and was involved in introducing the TAG Heuer brand to the British market in the 1980s. Prestex watches are designed in England and combine British design tradition with modern materials and Swiss and Japanese watchmaking. The brand remains independent and produces its collections in limited quantities.
