As part of our Vintage Dunhill Collection, we are very pleased to present this extremely rare and collectible version of the Dunhill GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) lighter, in brushed stainless steel, bearing the serial number 0704.
6.3 x 2.2cm
Only 1,884 of these were made, to commemorate the 1884 International Meridian Conference in which Greenwich was chosen as the Prime Meridian and thus "Greenwich Mean Time" was created. The brushed steel barrel of this "unique pocket" Dunhill lighter twists in increments, with lines delineating the time zones so as to determine the time (a location's distance from prime) all over the world.
