M026.629.17.051.00 is a larger-format modern sport watch built around travel utility and dive-watch toughness. At \u003cstrong data-start=\"428\" data-end=\"436\"\u003e44mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, it brings real wrist presence, but the design stays practical thanks to its clear dial layout, GMT functionality, and straightforward tool-watch construction.

It has the robust feel of a diver, but the GMT complication and engraved time-zone caseback give it a more travel-oriented identity than a standard three-hand sports watch.

This reference keeps the dive-oriented fundamentals in place — screw-down crown, sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel, and 200m water resistance — while adding a GMT display meant for travel and multi-time-zone use. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2774\" data-end=\"3120\"\u003eThe result is a watch that feels more versatile than a standard diver.
