The Ginault Trans-Atlantic is a Swiss-powered mechanical GMT designed as a modern tribute to the golden age of international air travel and the iconic pilot and travel watches of the 1950s. Drawing inspiration from the vintage GMT-Master 6542 era, the Trans-Atlantic combines classic proportions and unmistakable GMT styling with modern materials, substantial water resistance, and Ginault’s meticulous approach to case and bracelet finishing.
This particular configuration features the sapphire crystal with Cyclops date magnification together with Ginault’s newer 93030G stainless steel bracelet with polished center links, giving the watch a more refined appearance while retaining its robust sports-watch character.
At the center of the design is Ginault’s 41mm BM4 case, measuring an impressively slim 10.35mm in profile, with a balanced 48mm wingspan and 20mm lug width. The proportions capture the character of classic GMT watches while providing the durability and wrist presence expected from a contemporary sports watch.
The bidirectional 24-hour bezel uses a substantial construction derived from Ginault’s Silent Service dive-watch platform. Its 60-tooth, 24-click mechanism provides positive indexing in one-hour increments, allowing the bezel to work together with the dedicated GMT hand for convenient tracking of additional time zones.
One of the Trans-Atlantic’s most distinctive details is its GMT hand. Rather than using a conventional arrow design, Ginault shaped it as a visual reference to a navigator’s sextant, connecting the watch’s travel theme to the instruments historically used for celestial navigation.
Powering the Trans-Atlantic is the Swiss Sellita SW330-2 Elaboré automatic GMT movement. Ginault subjects the movement to its own six-week regulation process before completion of the watch. The SW330-2 provides approximately 56 hours of power reserve and a dedicated 24-hour GMT indication for tracking a second time zone.

The Ginault Trans-Atlantic brings together the aesthetics of the golden era of international aviation with the construction and performance expected from a modern mechanical sports watch. Its familiar GMT architecture is deliberately vintage inspired, but the execution is thoroughly contemporary.
The 41mm BM4 case is particularly notable for maintaining a profile of only 10.35mm while providing an impressive 300-meter water-resistance rating. Combined with the 48mm wingspan, the dimensions give the watch substantial wrist presence without becoming unnecessarily bulky.
The Sellita SW330-2 Elaboré provides a proven Swiss mechanical foundation with approximately 56 hours of power reserve. Ginault’s additional six-week regulation process further reflects the company’s emphasis on individual assembly, adjustment, and precision before delivery.
This particular configuration is especially attractive because it combines the Cyclops-equipped sapphire crystal with Ginault’s newer 93030G bracelet and its polished center links. The Cyclops emphasizes the classic travel-watch character of the design, while the alternating brushed and polished bracelet surfaces give the watch a more upscale appearance than the fully brushed legacy 94530G configuration.
The result is a distinctive mechanical GMT that blends vintage aviation inspiration, Swiss automatic mechanics, 300-meter water resistance, carefully considered proportions, and Ginault’s characteristic attention to case and bracelet finishing.
