This is NOT what we are referring to as a desk GMT. A desk GMT, like this new Seiko, allows you to independently change the 24-hour hand. So you can set the 24-hour hand to the 2nd time zone, or set it to UTC. Then the hour hand becomes your home time, the 24 hour hand the 2nd time zone, and the rotating bezel will give you the 3rd time zone, all at a glance. No need to change on the fly....although you can if you want to because of the independently settable 24 hour hand and rotating bezel.

I find a desk GMT to be not that much more complicated, and pretty much equal to, a traveller's GMT.

Am I missing something?

This is what I understand as well, the 24 hour hand can NOT be independently set, just like the GMT 1.
