The Out Of Order GMT Medellin (OOO.001-19.ME) is a bold expression of Swiss precision engineering meets urban-tactical design. This quartz-powered GMT timepiece marries the refined architecture of Swiss watchmaking with a distinctly unconventional aesthetic, featuring a frosted white dial paired with a military dark green vintage NATO strap. The 316L stainless steel case has been subjected to Out Of Order's proprietary patented ageing process, creating a unique frosted finish that resists fingerprints and lends the watch a battle-worn character straight from the factory.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be authorised retailers of OUT OF ORDER watches, bringing you this exceptional GMT complication designed for travellers, adventurers, and those who refuse to conform to conventional watch design. The 24-hour GMT hand allows simultaneous tracking of a second time zone, making this an ideal companion for international business or exploration. Water-resistant to 100 metres and constructed from corrosion-resistant 316L surgical-grade stainless steel, the Medellin is built to withstand the demands of active wear while maintaining its distinctive aesthetic.
The watch's frosted white dial provides exceptional legibility with applied hour markers and luminous hands, while the unidirectional rotating bezel features GMT markings for quick reference. The 14mm case thickness strikes an ideal balance between robust construction and wrist comfort, while the genuine vintage NATO strap offers both durability and quick-change versatility. This is a watch that challenges the established order of conservative design without sacrificing functional excellence.
Experience this unique timepiece in person at our Mall of the South boutique in Johannesburg, where our horological specialists can demonstrate the GMT function and ensure the perfect strap fit. Our watch servicing and repairs team provides comprehensive after-sales support including battery replacements and strap changes, ensuring your Out Of Order timepiece receives the care it deserves throughout its lifetime.

FAQ
Q: What is the GMT complication and how do I use it?
A: The GMT function allows you to track a second time zone simultaneously using the 24-hour hand. Set your local time as normal, then use the rotating bezel to align with the GMT hand to track your home time zone or any other reference zone while travelling.
Q: What does the Out Of Order patented ageing process mean?
A: Out Of Order applies a proprietary surface treatment to the 316L stainless steel case that creates a unique frosted, battle-worn appearance. This finish is factory-applied and resists fingerprints while giving each watch a distinctive urban-tactical aesthetic.
Q: Can I swim or dive with this watch?
A: Yes. With 100 metres water resistance, the GMT Medellin is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and water sports. However, it is not designed for scuba diving or high-impact water activities. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before water exposure.
Q: How long will the quartz battery last?
A: Swiss quartz movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life under normal use. When replacement is needed, visit us at our Mall of the South boutique where our watchmakers will replace the battery and pressure-test the case to maintain water resistance.
Q: Can I change the NATO strap myself?
A: Yes. NATO straps are designed for tool-free removal and installation, sliding through fixed spring bars. This allows you to easily swap straps to match your style or activity. We stock additional NATO and leather strap options at our boutique.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions?
A: The GMT Medellin is designed as a casual-sporty timepiece with a military-inspired aesthetic. While the frosted white dial offers versatility, this watch is best suited to casual, travel, and adventure wear rather than black-tie formal events.
Q: Does Cassims & Co. offer nationwide delivery?
A: Yes. We offer secure nationwide delivery across South Africa. Your Out Of Order GMT Medellin will arrive in its original presentation box with all documentation and warranty cards, fully insured during transit.
