I'm a retired USAF KC-135R navigator of 23 years. In nav school at Mather AFB in Sacramento, several of the nav instructors wore GMT's. I was also aware the GMT was worn by a fair amount of pilots.

I had been wanting a GMT since my last several years of college, so that was a natural choice for me to get.

When I went to the AD to finally find my long awaited watch, besides the GMT's, the AD showed me an Explorer II. Basically the same watch as a GMT, minus the rotating bezel. I looked it over a bit and realized I'd have something unique to show around the squadron.

I bought my Expy II in 1987 and it's been my go-to watch for over 30 years. It's been all over the world with me, and has shared in almost every adventure I've had.

I work now on an Air Force bombing range as a Range Control Officer, so my Expy II still comes to work with me everyday.
