I recently bought the Traska Venturer GMT, I had wanted a GMT for a while and for me, it absolutely ticks all the boxes, small case size, "true" GMT and so on. I know the internal bezel and accompanying second crown at 10 o'clock might not be for everyone, but I really do think it's worth a look - I'd love to see you review it!

[@benedge2202]

I’d also include the Jack Mason Strat-O-Timer. About £700 - £800 from the US with great finishing, quick detach bracelet, on the fly micro adjust, sapphire crystal and most importantly for the price a true/travellers GMT movement!

[@eram1004]

Great call on this one. I bought it last year and was very happy with the piece. Quality watch with excellent specs.

[@nathanmargolis2]

I think the Bulova Wilton GMT deserves a spot on this list for sure. I own one, and it's a great true GMT movement for the money.

[@dejuanmcguire9348]

I was not familiar with that watch. Thanks for sharing.

[@uncles2000]

If only it wasn’t 43mm

[@nathanmargolis2]

@@uncles2000 that's fair, my wrist is on the larger size, so I'm comfortable with watches that are 40-44. Ben usually prefers smaller watches than I do, which might explain why it's not on his list.

[@speedracer2please]

I just looked that up, it's GORGEOUS. I think I too overlooked it due to small wrists

[@keefw361]

Bulova devil diver GMT oceanographer is literally the best GMT under 1000 and not on the list

[@davidc756]

Just wanted to say that i love your channel and your way of presenting bro! I just started my watch collection, because I was inspired by my grandpa and you really helped me finding my first beautiful dress watch!

[@Hipnosis65]

Ben, that was the best description of caller and traveler GMT's I have heard... and I have heard a lot of them. I enjoyed this video very much and I'm not going anywhere.

[@bolchert]

My thoughts exactly! 👍

[@tjfish9683]

Fun presentation. Another watch to consider would the the Traska Venturer.

[@spuckuk7039]

Mine just arrived last week, absolutely love it

[@17arando]

I have the white dial, was surprised he missed this. There's a couple other worthy 9075 additions too. Stratotimer from Jack Mason and Lorier Hyperion come to mind

[@samnova450]

Thanks for all the GMT watch reviews. I just purchased the Zelos THRESHER 41MM AVENTURINE for $650 US dollars. Seen allot of great reviews on it and it too has the Miyota 9075 'True' GMT movement. Looking forward to getting it, my first watch from Zelos and my first GMT.

[@adk7962]

Wow. That’s a hell of a list. Thanks for putting it together. If I could afford it, I love the Seiko SPB411. Thanks again!

[@Tyrone2714]

Wow great video, and great watches. The wise, san martin and maen were my favorite looking of the bunch

[@johnswatchjoint]

Excellent work Ben. A real deep dive into the murky subject of GMT's....there are just sooooo many !

[@WasniahDwipa]

I love watching your videos and MAMACOO to keep myself updated on the world of watches

[@cbeltway]

Phoibos Quartz GMT desrves a spot.

[@Blaze016]

Just wanted to let you know, you're currently my favorite comfort video KZbinr... while I drive, I listen to your videos (don't worry, not watch, I save that for when I'm not driving). Thanks for all your great content!

[@svenbenda5]

I do the same 😂 Ben and Watch Yourself Jorge are my two clear favourites

[@finesse49]

The "dress" Addiesdive appears to have been replaced by a 36mm version - exactly what I've been waiting for. I just picked one up for US $70.

[@Jidccruz]

I did too. I was planning to hold off for them to release a sapphire version but they confirmed that it will not be available anytime soon. Did you go with the cream or silver dial? Want to see some actual photos before it arrives haha

[@finesse49]

@@Jidccruz I chose silver but it has a bit of a cream tint to it.

[@speedracer2please]

I just saw an awesome Tissot quartz rootbeer GMT Seastar for just under $400 in the duty free shop at the airport! I love all these cool options you found from brands I hadn't even heard of, though, way more of a conversation starter

[@NiKoJlaY]

I think a very good option under 1k$, would be Steinhart Ocean One GMT BLUE-RED, SKU:103-1100. That's a Rolex Pepsi homage , but quality/price is amazing. Selita SW330-1 movement, pretty good quality , Swiss made .

[@karlost23]

If you like the Timex GMT but want an independently adjustable hour hand (like a 'true' GMT) the Timex Q 3-Time Zone is a quirky option. 12hr GMT hand, 24hr slaved hr hand sub register, sub seconds dial, date window, 12 hr bidirectional bezel, AND a frikkin' chronograph! It's in a Q GMT style case too ...a bit of a Timex "Grand Complication" - absolutely nuts. 😁

[@cosmodoc]

Great list Ben, thanks! I feel you should have mentioned the Lorier Hyperion true GMT for $599!

[@AdAce21]

14:18 Woah, that dial is crazy! I’ve never seen a MoP that dark. San Martin makes a great product. The WISE is very hard to beat, dollar-for-dollar. And they let you chose the color of the GMT hand, no matter which color dial/bezel you choose. I have their Adamascus AD7 and it’s a fantastic watch

[@alexanderdylanthomas1891]

Some lovely choices here, but I have and love the Seestern Vintage GMT and could not recommend it enough! Seiko NH34, classic 1655 looks and a high-quality micro-adjust bracelet and at an incredible value! Keep it up!

[@Tomsgate101]

Thank you Ben! Some interesting models, though I was surprised not to hear you mention Glycine. I mean, they sort of invented the automatic GMT and you can easily get Glycine GMTs under 1000$... Nonetheless, great video, keep it up!

[@arielargo]

I was just going to say the same thing! I have the Combat Sub GMT automatic and it's such a great watch for the price! Easily available for under $600 and even cheaper if you get the quartz version too!

[@dejuanmcguire9348]

Right on time! I want my next watch to be a GMT and I am seeking good options.

[@-crypt0]

high quality vid, thank you Ben!

[@SuperMooMooFarm]

The San Martins look incredible. The proportions are balanced and the finishing is next level. The Wise traveler's GMT is also an awesome value prop.

[@ulig12]

Another great quartz GMT option is the Citizen BJ7111. Quirky and very unique style but with a true GMT movement, solar powered, diver’s 200m WR and super titanium. I love it.

[@creato938]

Victorinox sells a Fieldforce GMT with a Ronda Quartz GMT movement and they do look good, they are around 400 dollars in the US.

[@seanpie5481]

Nice wrap up. I think my fave is the Seiko Field GMT, but in the JDM white. I have a Glycine Airman quartz GMT 40mm. That’s over the $1000 USD limit, but with Invicta style RRP, you can find it well under. Cheers from Oz.

[@DerpEye]

I own a Glycine Airman 18. It's a 'pre Invicta ownership' watch, has an ETA 2892, and it's a 39mm with 200m wr and screw down crown. An original design, which arguably looks better than these new cheap watches, and didn't look like a knockoff.

[@anthonyw7237]

The Airman was the first GMT ever. Even after Invicta purchased Glycine they have stated they do not handle or have a say in the design of Glycine watches or the daily operations. Funding is all they provide. Both companies have stated that. The Airman is a great watch. Used heavily by military pilots in Vietnam war

[@Dubious_Kieran]

got the 36mm and wouldn't part with it, love the vintage style and modest proportions

[@anthonyw7237]

@@Dubious_Kieran 36mm ? as TGV would say "Pure Class".

[@ak983625]

I have a couple basic GMTs. They’re great, love them. Should I be traveling a lot ? I will just pickup one of my digital world or dual TZ watches, like my casio 800H.

[@johndesmond1987]

The best deal I have seen in a "traveller" GMT is the Smiths Traveller watch at 395 pounds. Like most Smiths watches however, they are rarely available! At a 38mm diameter, the package is in the sweet spot for most people.

[@oktc68]

New kid on the block, the outstanding Seestern S456 41mm automatic GMT (Seiko NH34) a slimmed down version of the 44mm GS GMT with a 3 o' clock crown and lumed date 2 MOP dials white and a blue and two sunburst dials in dark blue and bottle green, all have two tone bezel inserts, unfortunately the V1 has a 120 click unidirectional bezel instead of the customary bidirectional bezel, however the finishing on this watch is extraordinarily good, at a little over £200 this sets the standard.

[@benjaminkeen7133]

I've had the blue 36mm CW for the last couple months and am extremely pleased with it - I usually switch what I am wearing every week but this one has resolutely refused displacement. The size feels just right to me, and there is a bigger one too

[@pjwhiles]

I love the Phoibos Eagle Ray PD 023D around £200 for a Quartz Rhonda powered compressor style watch. A number of dial colours, plus great build quality and looks beautiful!

[@EliborioAsiamah]

God!!! AMZWATCH Who would have thought those gorgeous watches go for that low!!!

Vario Empire GMT is great. Worth every dollar. The husband and wife combo team is great. Stands behind their products.

[@eguy13v]

The Seiko SSK023K1is a great value at just over $300 right now. I bought the JDM version for just under $360 and have been very happy with it.

[@ChantalErdem]

Watches are so delicate and intricately designed, so I have intense respect and admiration for MAMACOO watch makers

[@jabezhane]

Check out the Enoksen Roam. Enoksen are based in Belfast and no one hardly seems to know about them. I've been buying watches from them since 2018 and their service is second to none. I have the Roam as it was one of the first mocrobrands out with the Seiko GMT movement. It's just a great no nonsense GMT with 300m water resistance, a nice tool look and great lume.

[@Honourable66]

I really like Zeppelin, they are really beautiful classy looking watches and have a couple of really nice GMT models, both quartz and automatic.

[@SebastianEnger-h7t]

I bought a watch from MAMACOO lightly used for my last milestone birthday. Don't wear it as much as it deserves, but not afraid to, either. It's stunning . Good taste, Sir.

[@cylentone]

The Pagani Design PD-1758 is an excellent value-for-money hommage GMT at $115 and looks great with the red bezel and gilded hands. If you are more into the military look there's the Citizen Ec-Drive titanium BJ7110 GMT for $370. The Phoibos Eagle Ray GMT around $230 is also a great looking watch with the deep red fade dial. If you want something dressy, Zeppelin has a few GMT's with Ronda quartz movement for around $280 or with Miiyota automatic for $480.

[@tboneisgaming]

Watches in this price bracket tend to be office GMT's. This is where you can adjust the GMT independently. It's nice to see Wise with a traveller's GMT. Otherwise you're looking at the Seiko Presage GMT and the Mido Ocean Star GMT. I've just bought the former, slightly used for half retail price. Another option is the Glycine Airman. I went for the three hander. It takes a little time to get used to reading a 24 hour watch but you get used to it. The bezel makes it easy to track a second time zone.

[@sesame25]

Great list, but two very decent options under 1000€ are missing : Bulova Diver devil GMT and Steinhart Ocean 39 Titan GMT wich i think are one of the best values on the market

[@Cmbgo98]

You forgot the Tisell GMT with the Miyota 9075. Insanely fantastic deal at $285 with free shipping. I think (at least when I bought mine) it was the cheapest automatic GMT available that didn’t use a Chinese movement.

[@thewatchloungechris]

I have a yellow seiko 5 gmt and love it for the price ( picked mine up 265 second hand) can't beat it .

[@DanielleSvenson]

AMZWATCH has set a new standard for replica watches. Their craftsmanship is impeccable. Its hard to tell the difference from the originals

[@MrEliwankenobi]

I respectfully disagree with the WISE ADX not being added to the category of “The Lookers”. IMO, in this list, the ADX is #1 above the CW C63. More useful too with the rotating bezel and generously lumed as well.

[@Calipered]

Don't know how to feel about the Q Timex, yeah it looks great but it's really just a copy of the Baltic aquascaphe GMT with slight changes and worse specs. It's one thing when they "copy" Rolex since they're in different price segments and Rolex is massive, but it seems wrong when the price is closer and the brand they're copying is a micro brand. Just rubs me the wrong way

[@GoalSquad666]

I would say, you missed one cool watch, also I'm biased as I own it, the blue dial... Bulowa Oceanographer GMT, and I believe the Miota movement was actually made for this one initially. Despite the website announces them for north of £1000, I haven't seen them anywhere at a retailer for that money. The one I have, was bought new last December in Europe for € 850,-

That's not a bug, it's a feature. You can set the GMT hand separately with the crown in the middle position.
