The Out Of Order GMT Tokyo Shibuya represents a bold departure from conventional watchmaking, merging Swiss precision with urban-industrial aesthetics inspired by Tokyo's iconic Shibuya district. This 44mm timepiece features an ultra-distressed black DLC-coated stainless steel case that captures the gritty, lived-in character of metropolitan architecture, while the dark grey dial with vibrant blue and yellow GMT accents delivers instant visual impact. Powered by a Swiss-made ETA quartz GMT movement, this watch offers dual-timezone functionality for the modern traveller who demands both reliability and distinctive style.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to offer the complete range of OUT OF ORDER watches, a brand that challenges traditional watch design with its deliberately distressed finishes and unconventional aesthetic philosophy. The GMT Tokyo Shibuya wears on a rugged black NATO-style textile strap with contrasting green stitching, secured by a robust PVD-coated steel buckle that echoes the case treatment. The sapphire crystal features an anti-reflective coating for optimal legibility, while the unidirectional rotating bezel with luminous markers adds functional versatility to this urban explorer.
Water-resistant to 100 metres, this timepiece transitions seamlessly from boardroom to weekend adventure, embodying the Out Of Order ethos of creative rebellion within Swiss watchmaking tradition. The distressed finish is applied through a proprietary process that ensures each watch develops its own unique patina, making your GMT Tokyo Shibuya truly one-of-a-kind. For those seeking a watch that defies convention while maintaining horological integrity, visit us at our Mall of the South boutique to experience this distinctive timepiece in person, or take advantage of our nationwide delivery service across South Africa.

FAQ
Q: What makes the Out Of Order GMT Tokyo Shibuya unique?
A: The GMT Tokyo Shibuya features a proprietary ultra-distressed finish that gives each watch a unique, lived-in appearance straight from the factory. This deliberate aesthetic treatment, combined with Swiss GMT functionality, creates a timepiece that challenges conventional watch design while maintaining horological credibility. The finish is permanent and will continue to develop character over time.
Q: How does the GMT function work on this watch?
A: The Swiss ETA quartz GMT movement allows you to track two time zones simultaneously. The main hands display local time, while the additional GMT hand (completing one rotation every 24 hours) can be set to your home timezone or any secondary location. This is particularly useful for frequent travellers or those conducting business across multiple time zones.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming and water sports?
A: With 100 metres of water resistance, the GMT Tokyo Shibuya is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational water activities. However, we do not recommend it for diving or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before water exposure, and avoid operating the crown or bezel while wet.
Q: What is the expected battery life for this quartz GMT movement?
A: The Swiss ETA quartz GMT movement typically provides 2-3 years of battery life under normal use. When replacement is needed, visit our Mall of the South boutique where our watchmakers can replace the battery and pressure-test the watch to maintain its water resistance. We stock genuine replacement batteries for all Out Of Order timepieces.
Q: Can the NATO strap be replaced with other straps?
A: Yes, the 22mm lug width accepts any standard 22mm watch strap, allowing you to customise the look of your GMT Tokyo Shibuya. The current NATO-style textile strap complements the industrial aesthetic, but leather, rubber, or steel bracelets can be fitted. Our watch servicing and repairs team can assist with strap changes and recommend compatible options.
Q: Is Out Of Order a Swiss brand?
A: Out Of Order is an Italian design house that incorporates Swiss-made movements in their timepieces. The GMT Tokyo Shibuya features a genuine Swiss ETA quartz GMT movement, earning it "Swiss Made" status, while the design philosophy and case finishing reflect the brand's Italian creative vision. This combination delivers Swiss reliability with Italian design innovation.

We handle all warranty claims directly and provide ongoing after-sales support including battery replacements, strap adjustments, and general servicing throughout the life of your watch.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: The ultra-distressed finish is designed to age naturally. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, and abrasive cleaners that may damage the protective coating.
- Water Exposure: Rinse with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated pools. Ensure the crown is fully screwed down before any water contact.
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth. For the textile NATO strap, hand wash occasionally with mild soap and allow to air dry completely before wearing.
- Crown Operation: Always unscrew the crown gently when setting the time or GMT hand. Screw down firmly after adjustment to maintain water resistance.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, magnets, and extreme temperatures. When not wearing for extended periods, ensure the watch is clean and dry.
- Magnetic Fields: While quartz movements are less susceptible than mechanical movements, avoid prolonged exposure to strong magnetic fields from speakers, laptops, or magnetic clasps.
- Impact Protection: Although built for urban wear, avoid severe impacts or dropping the watch as this may affect the movement accuracy or damage the crystal.
- Professional Service: We recommend a battery replacement every 2-3 years, at which time a pressure test should be performed to verify water resistance integrity.
