The Hublot King Power Unico Gmt is an incredible feat of watchmaking technology, but although the movement is a brand new in-house Hublot construction, it bares a striking resemblance to the Urwerk 103 collection - save for the analog time display. All comparisons aside, I think the Hublot King Power Unico GMT is an exciting step into the companies consistent focus at innovative time display.
The new time display enables the timepiece to track 24 different timezones which are located on the bezel and at an angle on the edge of the dial. At first glance the time display may seem a tad overwhelming, but it is a 24 hour time zone watch. Within the dial, the four GMT discs move with the main time while red indicator lines display the differing timezones.

The Hublot King Power Unico GMT is housed in a 48mm case and available in black ceramic or 18k gold.
Personally I think satellite discs work better with the simplicity of pure hour display on the Urwerk 103 timepieces, however in Hublot's defense, it is always quite a challenge to track 24 time zones on the dial of a single mechanical timepiece.
