Ming 22.01 Kyoto GMT

The Ming 22.01 Kyoto GMT is completely sold out and no longer available from Ming. The Kyoto version of the 22.01 was designed to replicate the serenity and textures and colors of traditional Japanese gardens.

From Ming:

The dial has a dark green outer chapter ring and grey center, both with grained texture, and GMT markings in silver. he metallic GMT markings are on the top of the sapphire dial to retain legibility, and hour indices are on the underside of the top crystal in HyCeram X1 formulation. Both dials are accompanied by colour-matched GMT hands and the highly legible handset from the 20 Series and 17.09.

As the base metal dial is overlaid with sapphire, it exhibits our signature inversion under certain lighting conditions. During inversion, the underlying colour disappears completely, and multiple internal reflections deliver dynamic layering.

The 38mm case draws inspiration from both the 20-series and 37-series and features alternating brushed and polished layers; it is a monobloc construction in grade 5 titanium and without spacers, and water resistant to 100m. The lugs retain our signature flare and feature a continuous twist highlighted by brushing that runs continuously from the case flanks through the underside of the lugs.

The movement is the automatic-winding Sellita SW330-2 in a black circular grained finish with a skeletonized rotor. The intermediate crown position adjusts the 24-hour GMT hand unidirectionally in one-hour increments, and the third crown position hacks the movement and adjusts all hands simultaneously.

This watch is in like new, unworn condition. It has only been removed from the included case to be photographed.
