The T9 was designed for affordability without compromising Torgoen's quality and design. It has a Swiss GMT movement manufactured by Ronda that allows to set the GMT hand to a different time zone, which in the case of a professional pilot would be the Greenwich Mean Time or GMT. This ability makes it a perfect fit for the world traveler or for anyone that has a friend or a family member in a different time zone.The case is made from high grade solid stainless steel with screw-down stainless-steel curved back. The T9 has a high quality mineral crystal and vintage Italian leather was used for the straps. Our quality control team performs various wear-and-tear tests that include stressing the straps and spring-bars, submitting 100% of the watches to 10 ATM (100 meters) pressure in water tanks. The T9 design continues with the Torgoen ergonomic high readability and contrast that was inspired by the avionics in cockpits with great non-radioactive luminescence, visible for 8 hours in complete darkness (after charging with light during the day). This model is a great piece to start your Torgoen collection. Boasting all the right features, this watch is a great timepiece that will last
