Micromilspec adds a white dial to the ultra austere Dualtimer lineup
Micromilspec is opening pre-orders for the white-dial Dualtimer, giving its public pilot’s watch line a brighter, cleaner counterpart to the original black model.
The Oslo-based brand launched the black Dualtimer in 2025, and those first batches sold out quickly. Now the watch is back in white, joining the black version and giving the Dualtimer the same black-or-white choice Micromilspec already offers on the Worldtimer.
The Dualtimer has a fairly direct origin story. One of Micromilspec’s first commissions was a pilot’s watch for the Royal Norwegian Air Force, built for people who needed to track multiple time zones without thinking too hard about it. The public Dualtimer keeps that idea intact. It is a GMT watch with a 24-hour rotating bezel and an independently adjustable GMT hand, built around legibility rather than complication for complication’s sake.
The new white dial leans into that. The matte dial uses a Type A Flieger-style layout, with a triangle and twin dots at 12 and Arabic numerals around the rest of the dial. The date sits at 3 o’clock in what Micromilspec calls a cockpit-style window. The point here is not to make the watch dressier. It is to make the already-readable layout pop a little more.
“A white dial changes how you read the watch before you’ve even checked the time,” said Henrik Rye, founder and CEO of Micromilspec. “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 lume setup is one of the more useful touches. Micromilspec uses bi-color Super-LumiNova X1, with green lume for the local-time hands and indices and blue lume for the GMT hand and bezel. That means the two time zones remain visually separated in the dark, which is exactly the kind of practical detail you want on a travel or pilot-style GMT.
Inside is the Sellita SW330-2 automatic, an office GMT movement running at 28,800 vph with a 56-hour power reserve and a Micromilspec rotor. The case is brushed stainless steel, 42mm across, 12.5mm thick, and 50.3mm lug to lug. It has a screw-down crown, screw-down caseback, sapphire crystal front and back, and 200 meters of water resistance. You can get it on textured rubber in black, white, or orange, or on a brushed stainless steel H-link bracelet with a butterfly clasp.
The white Dualtimer is not arriving alone. Micromilspec is also reopening pre-orders for a second batch of the three Pilot models that sold out the first time around: the black Dualtimer and the black and white Worldtimers. That makes the Pilot collection feel more complete. The Dualtimer is the focused GMT. The Worldtimer is the more complicated chronograph, with a Grade 5 titanium case, La Joux-Perret L122 movement, column-wheel chronograph, 60-hour power reserve, and a bidirectional ceramic worldtime bezel listing 24 cities.
The difference between the two is pretty clear. If you want the bigger aviation object with the worldtime bezel and chronograph, the Worldtimer is the one. If you want the cleaner, easier GMT that still carries the same Micromilspec design language, the Dualtimer is the better daily option.
Pre-orders open Wednesday, July 1, at 10:00 CEST. The Dualtimer starts at €1,750, £1,520, or $1,995 on rubber, and €1,900, £1,600, or $2,095 on the steel bracelet. The Worldtimer starts at €3,500, £2,900, or $3,850.
As with most Micromilspec pieces, these are made to order and produced in a limited annual batch. Rye says last year’s allocation has just started shipping, and once this new allocation is gone, that is it.
For a brand that built its name on custom watches for military units, first responders, and select clients, the Dualtimer remains one of Micromilspec’s more approachable public offerings. The white dial does not change the concept, and that is a good thing. It simply gives the watch a sharper, brighter face and makes the Pilot line feel a little more complete.
