Ming
22.01 GMT
“Kyoto”
Description:
The Ming 22.01 GMT in green, a.k.a. the Kyoto, is a modern, design-forward watch that showcases the brand’s distinctive approach to layering and minimalism. It features a 38 mm titanium case paired with a highly intricate multi-layer dial, where a sapphire overlay creates shifting reflections and depth as lighting conditions change. The dark green outer ring and textured grey center are inspired by the trees and stones of traditional Japanese gardens, giving the watch a serene yet contemporary aesthetic.
Powered by the automatic caliber 330.M2, the watch offers an independently adjustable GMT hand, making it a practical companion for travel while maintaining a clean, uncluttered display. The case is constructed from monobloc titanium and features a slim profile, delivering both durability and comfort on the wrist.
Produced in limited numbers and now sold out, the 22.01 GMT represents Ming’s evolution into more technically ambitious designs, blending functional GMT capability with a highly artistic dial execution. This reference is widely appreciated among collectors for offering a unique visual identity and strong value within the independent watchmaking space.
Excellent condition with little to no signs of wear.
