The right way to define GMT
I came across this video showing how he defines GMT watch. Do you all agree with him? Because according to his definition, some Omega GMT watches may not be regarded as GMT because they do not have jump hour function. Many of my GMT watches which used ETA 2893 movement that only can move the 24 hand also are also not regarded as GMT. What do you think?

6542, 1675, 16750 and 16700 didn't have the jump hour hand, either. They were absolutely GMT watches.

to me jump hour or not if it has an independent 24 hour time scale its a GMT. If its got 2 independent times on a 12 hour scale its a dual time watch.

How it is implemented is irrelevant

IMO it's a GMT regardless if the hour hand is decoupled (jumping) or not from the 24-hr hand.

A jumping hour hand is certainly the best implementation of GMT on a four hand dial, but an independent 24h hand is also acceptable, albeit less intuitive.

Think any watch with the extra 24hr hand is a GMT watch
