Omega SMP fits the bill nicely.

I have a U1 and love it. Feels indestructible on the wrist. Keeps great time and looks like a tool watch should!

I've never been able to get used to non-tapered hands, so my vote goes to the SMP.

Especially if it's a white dialed GMT.


For me, it'd be a tough decision between those two there.
