Hooked on GMTs

Getting back into the watch thing since January. After acquiring a Peter Blake in January I started on a GMT kick. An Omega GMT might be next but my next Omega does not have to be a GMT.

GMTs are not my cup of tea, but the Tudor I have to admit is beautiful.

Mido I don’t understand why mixing diver and GMT complications is even a thing.

It is a true GMT vs a caller GMT and I guess the thinking is the GMT with the chapter ring is sufficient for displaying 2 different time zones while maintaining dive timing capabilities with the bezel. Works fine for me. For traveling I don't know that anyone really NEEDS a GMT unless you travel internationally a lot. The Wise Adamascus GMT uses both a chapter ring on the dial and a 24hr bezel, good for displaying 3 time zones. I am considering that as I live in Arizona 5 months a year and Wisconsin 7 months a year and communicate with people in EST a fair amount. Therefore I could see the utility of a watch capable of displaying 3 time zones. But in my experience, finding a watch with both a chapter ring and a 24hr bezel is not very common.

Recently sold this, but the Omega Great White GMT was one of my favorites. Just didn't get the wrist time so decided to move it on.

The Seiko 5 SSK displays 3 time zones, with a chapter ring on the dial. I had one and wear it a lot back in time while living in US. Well-finished watch, and I found the 3 time zones very useful.

Hey PackerGuy

Are the hands on the Vaer misaligned? It may just be the angle of the photo but they do look off.

Little different take, the Glycine Airman is a 24 Hour watch with the independent locking GMT bezel.

The world timer gmt hands are 24hr and can’t be set independantly. The Duotime orange hand is 12hr and can be adjusted independantly in 1 hour increments, like the main hour hand on a Rolex GMT Master II.
