How about the Zodiac Aerospace GMT though?

These things are pretty cool, with a really nice size to them (40mm case, 20mm lugs). Nice ETA movement, not bad price $1700. I've been considering adding a lower-end GMT as a travel watch, and Tudor has lost all my respect as of today, so I'm starting to think bad thoughts about one of these! And while the black/grey is the classic, I can't deny the appeal of the blue & orange. We're still waiting for the Swatch Group's event, but I'd consider these the winners of this year's Baselworld. Thoughts?

I like that bezel; it's in keeping with the vintage. I like, too, that it is bigger! That, imo, is the main drawback of vintage Zodiacs these days.

I think they are doing a fantastic job with designing their new limited editions. I really want to add one of these to my collection...
Interesting that they went with an ETA as opposed to their “in house” STP movements but I like that they have now signed the crown and made some major improvements on the bracelet.
The addition of the chamfer to the lugs is also a nice aesthetic improvement!

The blue/orange is gorgeous. In all fairness Tudor movement for the gmt is a different league but I'd also go with the zodiac .

Yyyyyuuussss plz. And to a certain extent it is budget friendly. I hate that some of these awesome pieces are dropping when I'm supposed to be paying attention in meetings 😗

Black/gray is nice. Both the blue AND the orange on the other one seem washed out/faded to me.

I'm waiting to see if there's any redemptive stuff on Day 2 or from Omega over at Swatch's shindig in Zurich, but if the rumored two-tone Apollo XI Speedmaster disappoints, I might just pick one of these up.

Interesting...that or the Christopher Ward for a GMT?

Or the Frederique Constant Classic Worldtimer which I admit will require hunting at that price.

This watch in the orange and blue is gorgeous. CLEAR CUT winner at Basel so far.

The Tudor/Rolex stuff is horrendous with the exception of the new Batman on jubilee.

So your saying there is a GULF between that watch and the Rolex announcements?

The BLNR on Jubilee is nothing new. Just a shiny bracelet and reusing the movement from the "pepsi" GMT. I have the BLNR and I would pay a premium for the previous model not the current release.

Why did you lose respect for Tudor? They have some nice watches.
