It would only take a rotating 12 hour bezel. Not a true GMT but a simple way to add another timezone. But to answer your question, no.
I'm suprised Tudor never offered a GMT back when they were producing Subs, DD's, and Dates in Rolex Oyster cases.

No, I doubt it because the GMT isn't considered a dressy watch. Just a sports watch.

I would assume not, but it's interesting to think about.

When I train new "on air" people "Dee Jays" I tell them they need to know time, temp and the day of the week. If they need a watch to tell them the day of the week ...they need to go to work in the print media.

Truth be told, I could have used a Day feature on my GMT when traveling over the international dateline trying to remember what day I left and what day I'm supposed to get home.
