Exploring the JH01 GMT: A Functional Evolution of the War Drum Series

JIANGHUN Watch introduces a new chapter in its War Drum Series with the release of the JH01 GMT. Based on the original 46mm JH01 model, this updated version retains the core design language while adding a useful GMT function—designed for those who need to keep track of time across multiple time zones.

As part of JIANGHUN Watch—a brand focused on original design and mechanical structure—this model reflects a continued effort to combine aesthetic exploration with practical value.

A Dial Inspired by Global Coordinates

The JH01 GMT features a dial design that draws inspiration from Earth's geometry. Latitude and longitude lines intersect across the surface, forming a structured visual effect that resembles a 3D globe. The overall layout is both decorative and functional, aligning with the watch’s GMT feature. The hands are designed with curved tips to echo the dial’s contours and enhance legibility.

Design Inspiration:
Latitude and longitude patterns create a miniature globe look.

Maintaining the Original Case Size and Style

This model retains the 46mm case diameter, 52.5mm lug-to-lug length, and 13.6mm thickness from the previous version, keeping the strong visual presence characteristic of the series. The large dial surface also supports ease of reading, which may appeal to users who prioritize clarity at a glance or have larger wrist sizes.

Who Might Prefer It:
  • Watch enthusiasts with larger wrists
  • Users who favor high legibility
  • Fans of bold, structured aesthetics

Color Variations and Materials

The dial is available in four gradient color options: Black, Purple, Green, and Brown. These variants offer visual depth while maintaining a consistent design framework.

Case Material:
316L Stainless Steel
Crystal:
Sapphire Crystal with AR Coating
Strap:
Genuine Leather
Caseback:
3D Tiger Engraving

Functionality in Travel and Daily Use

The JH01 GMT is rated for 10 bar water resistance, making it suitable for daily activities and general travel needs. The GMT function allows users to track a second time zone, which can be particularly useful for those managing schedules across different regions. Luminous features include C3 green lume and orange accents, supporting readability in low-light environments.

Lume Design:
C3 Green + Orange lume pairing enhances visibility and maintains contrast without overwhelming the dial at night.

Introducing the JH0102: A Compact 42mm GMT Option

The JH01 GMT series now expands with the addition of the JH0102, a 42mm version designed for those who prefer a more compact and versatile timepiece. With the same GMT functionality and bold dial design, the JH0102 retains the core elements of the original JH01 while offering a more wearable size. This version features a 49mm lug-to-lug length and a 13.6mm thickness, making it a perfect fit for those with smaller wrists or anyone who favors a more balanced, understated aesthetic.

Who Might Prefer the JH0102:
  • Watch enthusiasts with smaller wrists
  • Those seeking a more versatile and balanced design
  • People who prefer a more compact and lighter watch

JH0102 Specifications:

Case Material:
316L Stainless Steel
Case Diameter:
42mm
Water Resistance:
20 bar
Thickness:
13.6mm

Continuing the Series' Identity

Compared to the previous JH01 model, the GMT version builds upon the foundation already in place—preserving the bold visual elements while expanding its capabilities. The structure, color layout, and sizing choices are consistent with the series identity, while new details like the globe-inspired dial and GMT complication offer added utility.

“Don’t follow the crowd. Define extraordinary craftsmanship.”
