Offered here is a rare AKIRES automatic GMT prototype, a pre-production watch that is not currently available as part of the brand’s regular commercial collection. Its prototype status makes this piece particularly interesting for collectors and enthusiasts looking for something genuinely unusual. Unlike a standard production model, this watch represents a development-stage version created before commercial release. As such, it offers a unique opportunity to acquire a watch that cannot currently be purchased through normal retail channels. The watch features a sporty GMT design with a striking blue dial, a 24-hour bezel and a contrasting red GMT hand for tracking a second time zone. It is powered by the well-known NH34 automatic GMT movement, appreciated for its reliability and ease of maintenance. The stainless-steel case measures 43 mm in diameter, with a 50 mm lug-to-lug distance and a relatively slim 11.4 mm thickness, giving the watch a substantial yet balanced wrist presence. The case is made from 316L stainless steel, paired with a stainless-steel bracelet tapering from 22 mm to 18 mm. Further specifications include a sapphire crystal and a declared 20 ATM / 200-metre water resistance, making it a technically capable sports watch in addition to its collectible nature. The blue dial has a dynamic finish that changes depending on the light, complemented by applied Arabic numerals, prominent hands and a date display positioned at 6 o’clock. The red GMT hand provides a strong visual contrast and reinforces the travel-watch character of the piece. What makes this example especially appealing is its prototype status. It is not simply another production watch available from multiple retailers, but a pre-production piece connected to the development of the model. For this reason, it may appeal not only to those looking for an automatic GMT watch, but also to collectors interested in prototypes, development samples and uncommon watches that are not part of regular commercial circulation.
