For example, the 'Aluminum GMT' version comes with an arrow-shaped hand and two 12-hour zones in black and yellow, one for daytime and one for nighttime. Other notable features of the luxurious watch include a titanium crown, [Super-LumiNova](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pineapple-dream) hour-markers, and star white hands.
