What other gmt watches do you like besides the gmt master ii from Rolex?

AAMD11 · 30 January 2012, 01:54 PM

There are many out there, in my opinion better than the Rolex

kilyung · 30 January 2012, 01:58 PM

Should probably move this thread to the non-Rolex watch forum. JLC makes a number of great GMTs.

azguy · 31 January 2012, 12:41 AM

If you like em big, the Breitling Navitimer World is a GMT in 45mm...I understand they are selling well in come in a couple of dial colors

And some of the many would be...?

Quackers · 31 January 2012, 01:03 AM

Breitling do GMT's in the Colt, Superocean and Chronomat models.

Gharddog03 · 31 January 2012, 01:11 AM

Pam 88

springer · 31 January 2012, 01:12 AM

How about the GMT 16700? I much prefer this watch over the GMT II 16710.

masterserg · 31 January 2012, 01:13 AM

Don't forget the Explorer II ...

Other than Rolex, I am liking the Pam 88.

stusrt · 31 January 2012, 01:21 AM

breitling just starting making their B01 line with a GMT - I love it!
for the money - I think the best is the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Co-Axial

of course, there are several great panerai models with GMT -

JP(Canada) · 31 January 2012, 01:58 AM

There are many GMTs and UTC style of watches, but IMHO, for someone who actually uses a GMT watch for traveling between timezones, there's nothing better than the jumping hour hand. For me, that narrows the field to the GMT II, the Explorer II, and SMP GMT. Also, not called "GMT" watches, but the cal. 8500 from Omega has the jumping hour hand feature and can easily be used in the fashion I described.

lance3197 · 31 January 2012, 02:13 AM

check out the 3 timer from lindewerdelin, also patek makes an awsome world timer. As far as dual timezones go, patek and lange all the way

MoosicPa · 31 January 2012, 02:19 AM

Grand Prix '70 LE.... a GMT and chronograph all in one....

This is interesting. I agree the jumping hour hand is very useful, and assumed that all the watches being touted as better than the Rolex GMT obviously had this function, but it doesn't sound like they do.

00Seven · 31 January 2012, 02:21 AM

Sinn U2 is a great sport option.

I'm not aware of any others that have this function, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. In fact, I'd love to know. IMHO, it's one of the most useful complications for someone who travels between timezones. Changing the time becomes SO easy. I made a youtube vid a while ago that shows how it works on my GMT...same as the Rolex GMT IIs work (a few minutes into the vid)...http://youtu.be/4l5AeTeaHIo

Java · 31 January 2012, 02:59 AM

IMO Without doubt the best and most ergonomic GMT watch ever designed
The +- GMT by U N . Designed by the genius Ludwig Oeschlin The whole mechanism is wheel rather than lever based. The home time is set in the 9.00 window, The hour hand can be moved back and forth by the + - buttons on the left side. Time adjustment of the hour hand integrates with date. If you advance or retard past midnight the date moves with it, like the hour hand on a Rolex GMT. Besides all that it is a fabulous big date watch as well.

This is mine

mike · 31 January 2012, 03:03 AM

Moved since it's deals with other than Rolex.

In answer to the OP's question...Ball.

capote · 31 January 2012, 04:21 AM

This is my favorite non-Rolex GMT.

In SS

In pink gold

McLovin · 31 January 2012, 05:05 AM

This. The GMT hand is hidden under the hour hand -- I only bring it out when traveling.

MrJ320 · 31 January 2012, 06:41 AM

x1 on the 233. Absolutely love my Panerai 233. I also think the JLC master compressor GMT is a beautifully executed watch.
