The Micromilspec Dualtimer white dial is here, and it gives the Norwegian brand’s first public pilot’s watch the opposite number it was missing. After the black version launched in 2025 and sold out its early batches in record time, Micromilspec has opened pre-orders for a fresh white-dialed take on its 42mm GMT, along with a second run of three Pilot models that vanished the first time around. If you have been watching this Oslo maker inch closer to the mainstream, this is the release that rounds out the collection.
A White Dial Built Around Legibility
Micromilspec did not add a white dial just to fill a gap in the catalog. Founder and CEO Henrik Rye frames it as a legibility play first: a white dial changes how you read the watch before you have even checked the time, throwing the indices and lume into sharper contrast. The Dualtimer was always designed to be read at a glance, so the white version is really the same idea said a little louder.
The matte white dial carries a Type A Flieger-derived layout, with the triangle and twin dots at twelve and Arabic numerals filling out the rest. After dark, Micromilspec’s signature bi-color lume does the talking: green Super-LumiNova X1 on the local-time hands and indices, blue on the GMT hand and bezel, so home time and local time never blur together. A cockpit-style date window sits at three.
Pilot Origins and the GMT Brief
The Dualtimer traces back to where Micromilspec itself started. One of the brand’s earliest commissions was a pilot’s watch for the Royal Norwegian Air Force, made for people who had to track several time zones at once. The public Dualtimer returns to that brief: a true GMT with a 24-hour bezel and an independently set GMT hand, built to be read quickly rather than puzzled over. The white dial does not change the mission. It just hands it a brighter background.
What Is Under the Hood
Nothing has moved mechanically. The white-dial Dualtimer runs the same Sellita SW330-2, an “office” style GMT with an independently adjustable 24-hour hand. Here is the quick rundown:
- Case:
Brushed 42mm stainless steel with a 24-hour rotating bezel, chamfered crown guards, screw-down crown. - Dimensions:
42mm diameter, 12.5mm thick, 50.3mm lug-to-lug. - Movement:
Sellita SW330-2 automatic GMT with a Micromilspec rotor, 28,800 vph, 56-hour power reserve. - Crystal:
Anti-reflective sapphire front and a sapphire display caseback. - Water resistance:
200 meters (20 ATM) - Lume:
Bi-color Super-LumiNova X1, green for local time and blue for the second time zone. - Straps:
Textured rubber in black, white, or orange, or a brushed steel H-link bracelet with a butterfly clasp.
A sapphire display caseback and optional caseback engraving round out a package that leans harder into finishing and materials than most watches near this price. Micromilspec designs in Oslo and builds through a network of Swiss partners, which shows up in the details.
The Sold-Out Pilots Return
The white dial does not arrive alone. Micromilspec is reopening pre-orders for a second batch of the three Pilot models that sold out the first time: the black and white Worldtimers, and the original black Dualtimer. Together, the Pilot line now reads as a proper set, with the cleaner GMT Dualtimer on one side and the more complicated chronograph Worldtimer on the other, each offered in black or white.
The Worldtimer is the flashier of the two, a Grade 5 titanium column-wheel chronograph powered by the La Joux-Perret L122, with a bidirectional ceramic bezel naming 24 cities and a 60-hour power reserve. The Dualtimer is the more focused pick: steel, GMT-only, and roughly half the price. As Rye puts it, every model is made to order and capped at a fixed number, and once the allocation is gone, that is it.

Pricing and Availability
Pre-orders are open now through Micromilspec directly, with each watch made to order in a limited annual batch. The Dualtimer starts at €1,750 / £1,520 / $1,995 USD on rubber and €1,900 / £1,600 / $2,095 USD on the steel bracelet. The titanium Worldtimer starts at €3,500 / £2,900 / $3,850 USD. You can find the full lineup, including both dial colors, on the Micromilspec site.
If you like a GMT that puts readability first and you missed the black Dualtimer the first time, the white dial is a genuinely different look on the same well-sorted platform. Made-to-order and capped means there is no rush-then-restock cycle to wait out, so this is more of a decision than a scramble. For a brand that started by building for pilots and first responders, that feels about right.
