HTD Aquatic Bicchierini GMT Pepsi A26E02

The HTD Aquatìc Bicchierini GMT “Pepsi” Ref. A26E02 is a distinctive Italian interpretation of the classic travel watch, combining the vintage-inspired charm of 1960s and 1970s dive watches with modern GMT functionality. Developed by Florence-based independent watchmaker HTD (Horological Tools Department), the Aquatìc GMT builds upon the brand's popular skin-diver collection while introducing a striking red-and-blue “Pepsi” 24-hour bezel. Its beautifully proportioned 39mm stainless steel case measures 47mm lug-to-lug and just 12.4mm thick, offering excellent everyday wearability. The black dial features applied, polished hour markers filled with Super-LumiNova BGW9, complemented by highly legible hands and a dedicated GMT hand for tracking a second time zone. A domed sapphire crystal, screw-down crown with four sealing O-rings, and 200 meters of water resistance reinforce its professional diving heritage. The distinctive 24-click bidirectional bezel features HTD's innovative bearing-assisted mechanism, while the stainless steel three-link bracelet completes the watch's versatile, vintage-inspired appearance.

Inside is the Japanese-made Miyota 9075 Premium automatic movement, a sophisticated GMT caliber operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and delivering approximately 42 hours of power reserve. Unlike many affordable GMT watches that use an independently adjustable 24-hour hand, the Miyota 9075 features true traveler's GMT functionality, allowing the local hour hand to be adjusted independently in one-hour increments without interrupting the movement's timekeeping. This makes the Aquatìc GMT particularly practical for frequent travelers, while the rotating 24-hour bezel provides the flexibility to monitor an additional time zone. Founded in Florence, HTD has developed a reputation for creating thoughtfully designed mechanical watches that celebrate the golden age of tool-watch design while incorporating modern materials and dependable movements. The Aquatìc GMT represents an important evolution for the independent brand, introducing its first dedicated GMT collection without sacrificing the compact proportions and distinctive Italian character of the original Aquatìc. With its iconic Pepsi bezel, comfortable 39mm case, genuine traveler's GMT movement, and impressive 200-meter water resistance, the Bicchierini GMT offers an appealing combination of vintage aviation styling, contemporary functionality, and independent Italian watchmaking.
