echo/neutra – 1956 GMT Black

The Echo/Neutra 1956 GMT Black are automatic watches with a GMT function that allows simultaneous tracking of two time zones. The 39mm case is made of stainless steel with a sandblasted finish, giving the watch a robust yet elegant look. The black dial offers clear legibility with prominent indices and hands, which are treated with a luminescent coating.

The GMT function is indicated by a separate fourth hand, which allows tracking a second time zone, practical for travelers and daily use alike. Inside the watch, a reliable Swiss automatic Sellita SW330-2 movement operates, with a power reserve of approximately 56 hours, ensuring accurate and stable operation.

The watch features a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating, 100m water resistance, and a screw-down crown, increasing its durability for everyday wear and sports activities. The Echo/Neutra 1956 GMT Black is an ideal choice for those who want a combination of classic design, practical GMT function, and Swiss watchmaking quality.

The echo/neutra brand was born from the passionate vision of two Italian friends – Nicola Callegaro and Cristiano Quaglia. With their background in design and engineering, they decided to create a watchmaking brand that would reflect Italian roots, combine timeless aesthetics with modern functionality, and honor quality without compromise.

“We believe in beauty that is not subject to trends. We reject the disposable culture. Every product has its energy and value – it becomes an everyday companion that lives and ages with us,” explains Nicola Callegaro, outlining the brand’s philosophy.

Echo/neutra watches are made from high-quality materials, including Swiss movements, and excel with clean lines, minimalist design, and an emphasis on function. They draw inspiration from classic models of the mid-20th century, which is evident, for example, in the Cortina 1956 Hand-Wound Chronograph – a chronograph with the spirit of the automotive world of the 50s and 60s.
