The Vario Empire Seasons True GMT Summer Blue Automatic Dress Watch is a 38 mm watch, 12 mm thick, water resistant to 50 m, with a summer blue dial, on a vintage-style Italian leather strap with a slight two-tone effect, and a metal bracelet. It runs on the Miyota 9075 automatic, true GMT. A true GMT lets the local hour hand jump in one-hour steps without stopping the watch, which is the setting a traveller changes most.

Collector photographs

Taken by people who own this reference: their light, their wear, their patina. Not the maker’s photography. Where the maker hasn’t given us a photograph, one of these is shown as the main image above, always credited. A few are the Atlas’s own, and say so.

No collector photographs yet

If this watch is in your collection, yours would be the first. A photograph on the wrist shows what a studio image cannot: scale, wear, and how the piece has actually aged.
