Micromilspec opens pre-orders for the white-dial Dualtimer
Oslo, Norway - Micromilspec introduces the white-dial Dualtimer, a new dial colour for its first pilot's watch made available to the public. The black version launched in 2025 and sold out its first batches in record time; the white-dialed version now joins it, giving the Dualtimer the same black-or-white choice already offered on the Worldtimer.
For Henrik Rye, Founder and CEO of Micromilspec, the white dial was never about novelty for its own sake. “A white dial changes how you read the watch before you've even checked the time,” he says. “It throws the indices and the lume into sharper contrast. The Dualtimer was always built around legibility, so the white dial is really just the same idea said a little louder,”
The Dualtimer began where Micromilspec began. One of the brand's very first commissions was a pilot's watch for the Royal Norwegian Air Force, designed for people who had to keep track of multiple time zones at once. The public Dualtimer returns to those origins: a GMT watch with a 24-hour bezel and an independently set GMT hand, designed to be read at a glance rather than puzzled over. The white dial doesn't change that brief. It simply hands it a brighter background.
Legibility is where the watch earns its keep. The matte white dial carries a Type A Flieger-derived layout: the triangle and twin dots at twelve, Arabic numerals around the rest. After dark, Micromilspec's signature bi-color lume takes over, with green Super-LumiNova X1 on the local-time hands and indices and blue on the GMT hand and bezel, so home time and local time never blur into one. A cockpit-style date sits at three.
Underneath, nothing's moved. The white-dial Dualtimer runs the same Sellita SW330-2 automatic, an “office” GMT beating at 28,800vph with a 56-hour power reserve and a Micromilspec rotor. The 42mm brushed stainless steel case keeps the chamfered crown guards, the screw-down crown and caseback, sapphire crystal on both sides, and 200m of water resistance. It ships on textured rubber in black, white, or orange, or on a brushed-steel H-link bracelet with a butterfly clasp.
The Pilot Worldtimer is the more complicated of the two: a Grade 5 titanium chronograph powered by the La Joux-Perret L122, with a bidirectional ceramic worldtime bezel naming 24 cities and a 60-hour power reserve. The Dualtimer is the more focused one: steel, GMT-only, and roughly half the price. They're built to be chosen between, not stacked together.
“We've just started shipping last year's allocation,” Rye adds, “so this batch goes out on the back of watches that are already reaching wrists. Every model is made to order and capped at a fixed number of pieces. Once the allocation's gone, that's it.”
Pre-orders for all four watches open on Wednesday, 1 July at 10:00 CEST. Pricing for the Dualtimer starts at €1,750 / £1,520 / USD $1,995 on rubber and €1,900 / £1,600 / USD $2,095 on the steel bracelet, and the Worldtimer starts at €3,500 / £2,900 / USD $3,850.
