·Probably because the OP asked about 24 hour watches and GMTs are not purist 24 hour watches.

Apart from the original Glycine Airman and the Gruen WorldTimer I don't recall ever seeing a vintage purist 24 hour watch with a date. You might have to adjust your expectations a little.

·Well I'm used to no date vintage watches such as Speedy and connies so it is not a must.

·In addition to the Cosmonaut, Breitling also made a 24 hour version of the 765, I think designated the 1765. Very expensive though if you can find one.

··Keeps his worms in a ball instead of a can.Sinn made a 24 hour 903 with a date for awhile. They show up on eBay and normally trade low due to demand.
They are not clones they purchased the rights when Breitling closed in 1978. I own a 12 hour with the Speedmaster Pro Lemania movement. If you

·Nice watch.....the Cosmonaute looks a very busy dial. Anyone have one, how do you find it.
Not sure if you meant Navitimer or 1765. If the latter, look here:

·Now this is what am looking for. This kind of stylish simplicity I only see in vintage watches.......unfortunately they go for ~$100k.
I wonder if there is a modern version?

·I know you said you didn't like the Glycine Airman Base 22 but there is some nice vintage Airmen.
The SST "Pumpkin", larger than the Airman 1 at 40mm.
Black dial Airman 1, smaller at 36mm.
White dial Airman Number 1, again 36mm.
They also did a re-issue of the 1953. Larger at 42mm.

Did you happen to see this one that popped up on watchuseek a few days ago. It might be something that you are interested in.

I have nothing to do with the seller, but just thought of you when I saw it.

·Thanks for the heads up @arcadelt. After other discussions on these the size being enormous has put me off. I like to wear my watches as much as possible and being used to speedy and connies the size would put me off.
I have turned my research interests to the Glycine Airman. Some very good sites out there to use as reference.

Thanks again......
