GMT version of the Tugela on the same 42mm Protea-shaped case dimensions but with a different movement (Seiko NH34A instead of the NH35A), a double-domed crystal, a 48-click bidirectional ball-bearing GMT bezel and an engineer bracelet, so it is recorded as its own model. Dial after Zulu beadwork with applied bead-blasted indices; case back stamped with the Drakensberg and the Tugela river. Four colourways, all NZD 849 (shown "excl. tax") and all out of stock on 2026-10-30: Steel (stainless steel bezel insert), Black, Blue (black dial, blue insert) and Super Blue (blue dial, light blue insert), the coloured inserts in anodised aluminium, deeply engraved and filled with C3 (X1) Super-LumiNova. Brand spec: bead-blasted 316L, 42mm, 48.5mm lug to lug, 14mm thick, 22mm lugs; double-domed sapphire with inner AR coating; 300m; 91g head, 208g on the bracelet. Five-link engineer bracelet in bead-blasted 316L with solid end links and engraved clasp, plus a nylon strap. Whether the crown screws down isn't stated on the GMT pages. Release year not stated.
