As an airline pilot that flies all over the globe the GMT complication is far and away my favorite. And it wasn't until I acquired one of my grail pieces, a Breitling Chronomat GMT, that I understood what you meant by "true GMT." There are so many appealing choices in your list, from the Glycine Airman with its rich heritage to the Sea Wolf GMT which is significant to me as I received a Sea Wolf as a gift on my 14th birthday. It is still in my collection. I'm leaning toward picking up one of those Ocean Star GMTs but I wish I could get them all! Thanks Teddy!

I bought my Zodiac Aerospace GMT on May 1st of 1969 for about fifty dollars from the ships store on the USS Wright. Even after a long and sometimes hard life, it still looks pretty good and keeps time just fine. I had it serviced for the second time about two months ago, and wore it most all afternoon today. It is the first item of real value that I ever bought, and is my most prized possession.

I have the Grand Seiko SBGE249 “Blizzard” and love it that the GMT hand, the power reserve indicator, and the sweep seconds hands are blued, while the hour and minute hands are not, which really helps the readability. The watch is also a Spring Drive. A pretty complete package for just under 6K.

Thank you for your great comments on the Glycine Airman. For years I've been saying that this is the most under appreciated classic icon in the watch world, at least with regard to pilots watches. In an article I wrote on the 10 most iconic pilots watches of all time, the Airman comes in at no. 5. As background, I'm a retired military, corporate and airline pilot with almost 50 years experience. I wore my Pepsi GMT 16750 for 38 years, and picked the Airman Base 22 to replace it as my daily driver. My retirement watch is a Rolasor Sky Dweller. GMTs are also my favorite complication.

I have nowhere near the experience that you do, but I was Air Force, aircrew, for 6 years. It was essential, as you know, to have a good GMT watch strapped to our wrist. Military didn't exactly afford a large budget for a watch, even a Rolex back in the late '60s, arguably. So the Glycine definitely was within our ballpark. I picked up a newer version of few years ago. Love it.

Many of us Air Force flight crew members wore the Glycine in the late '60s and early '70s. It was not issued by the military and we could pick them up at the basic exchange.

May I ask why did you choose the Glycine over the Timex?
@thomashelm69313 жыл бұрын
@@vunguyenchannel actually, that is a great question. We were issued watches, as flight crew. Many manufacturers stepped up to produce them, including Timex. It did not say the brand on the watch, but one could tell, generally, who made it. It was a basic watch. It featured a black face, that could hack time and had indices and hands that would glow in the dark. The crystal was not a very good quality and would scratch easily. Additionally, there was no 24-hour complication on it. With the Glycine, you have a 24-hour watch that could tell time in three different time zones. We typically set that for GMT, local time in the time zone that we were flying out of, our home base. The military issued watch had none of those capabilities.

I've seen the PO GMT quoted as 17mm thicc. In any case (pun intended), we have to consider the co-axial escapement is not as thin as a swiss-lever, plus the domed sapphire and see-through caseback probably add 2-3 mm in total. But at this point the identity of the Planet Ocean line is cemented: POs are not thin watches and they probably shouldn't change that.

Honestly, if you shaved that scraggly beard and moppet hair on your head you'd save more weight. If you truly believed in low base weight, you wouldn't take a watch with you at all.

The same watch is now listed on eBay for $426. After about two years, it quit; so I sent it to a Seiko overhaul center in California for about another $120, including shipping both ways. So I'm still out only a little more than half the price of a new one; and _far_ less than any of those listed here. Since the overhaul (about one year), it has performed flawlessly and accurately, although for some reason the battery/capacitor won't charge above the "four-month" level; but I can live with that. Wish I'd kept my old Navigator Timer mechanical from 1970: they're running about $1,800 on eBay.

A very important point to note is that any watch using the ETA C07.661 movement, such as the Tissot mentioned at the start, are “true” (ugh hate that term) or “traveller’ GMTs. This movement is relatively new and has the potential to revolutionise the GMT market given the prices of the watches using this movement so far have been in the $1k-$2k price range, which was previously unheard of. So far mainly used by Tissot, Certina and Mido (Eg the Ocean Star GMT which was also mentioned), the major problem is that it has only been used in watches 42mm-45mm with 49mm+ lug to lug. As soon as this movement starts to be used in watches that are 38mm-41mm, expect the enthusiast watch market to really pay attention. There are no technological reasons why it has only been used in large watches as the movement is identical in width to the ETA 2824-2 upon which it is based at 25.6mm (about an inch). So far, the only reason I can think of for Swatch group limiting the use of this movement is that the coveted feature it provides could result in them cannibalising the market for the much more expensive GMT watches you would traditionally have to buy for this functionality.

Being a pilot, I think the BALL Roadmaster Pilot or Marine is the ultimate true GMT function. Just push a button instead of unscrewing the crown at every location. Best of all is the Lumes; hard to beat the tritium when waking up in a dark hotel room ;-) I have my eye on their Jet-Set model coming out as well.

A quirky choice but the Damasko DK200 is a beautiful GMT with a superhard steel case in a genta-esque design. It has an in-house movement with silicon hairspring, free sprung balance, 2 way winding & ceramic bearings. It's a lot of horology tech for modest money.

The gmt complication is my favorite complication, I got several GMT’s and right now my favorite in my collection is the Mido Ocean Star GMT, it’s an amazing watch, very comfortable, accurate and well constructed. Another favorite in my collection is the Frederique Constant Classic gmt. Very nice video and keep the good work my friend!

I love the Oris honestly. It is gorgeous. Do not have that kind of money to burn, but it is my favorite on this list for sure.

Hi As usual a great video. What about Christopher Ward C63 Sealander GMT ? What do you think of CW watches ?. Thanks

Most videos featuring GMTs at this price range put CW at the front, it’s nice to see a list without CW mentioned to be honest, it’s time for other brands to get some focus, it was starting to feel like CW was paying all the channels to review their watches. CW does have half the history that most of the brands mentioned here.
