What are nice (maybe your favorite) GMT watches in non-precious metal (e.g., steel or titanium) with a 24hr display for the home time and an uncluttered dial?

Obviously there are Rolexes and Grand Seiko, in fact the Rolex Sky Dweller is a great example of what I'm interested in here. What about the rest? I have earmarked a few below and I'm sure I'm missing many...

(The VC Overseas Dual Time has an AM/PM indicator but not really a 24hr display and the World Time is definitely cluttered...)

Bonus points for +/- pushers or any other quick adjustment mechanism for the away time.

Urban Jurgensen One GMT (probably my favorite)

Bulgari Octo Finissimo Chrono + GMT (interesting & beautiful watch. I'd prefer it without the chrono complication...)

Ulysse Nardin Blast or Classico (+1 for the digital home time display)

and

Laurent Ferrier Galet Boreal Traveller (There are several Traveller watches, but I think this is the only non-proto in steel. Very beautiful, quite pricy...)

Not much help with your ask but that first Urban Jurgensen looks incredible love that

fmc000 · 13 October 2021, 12:17 AM

UJ is my favorite of the bunch too. Check the new Bulgari WT.

For true sports watches in a lower price range I like the Mido Ocean Star Captain and Sinn 856 UTC

Nice selection! If you have a few round-cased timepieces, then get the Bvlgari. There's the Speedy... and for fun the Monaco Gulf as a wildcard too.

I see you noted the VC 7900V feels cluttered to you, I actually enjoy the feature of the am/pm indicator and much prefer it to a power reserve for example.

I also like the Ulysse Nardin Blast you posted, first time i've seen it.

I'm a big fan of GMT complications, keen to see how this thread progresses!

Thank you. The second Ulysse Nardin, the Classico, has an additional complication, in that the pusher on the crown selects between time setting, date setting, and winding. This is indicated by the dial at 3 o'clock. I suppose the other UN has several crown positions to do this but I'm not sure.

Ah, just found another option, the LUC Chopard GMT One:

danwang0520 · 14 October 2021, 01:40 PM

There’s Omega PO in GMT:

Panerai also makes nice GMT, PAM233 for example:

Up the haute horology scale, you have Patek Philippe Aquanaut travel time:

Current collection: 1) Rolex Submariner 116610LV, 2) Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional 311.30.42.30.01.006, 3) Panerai Luminor GMT 10-days PAM533

danwang0520 · 14 October 2021, 01:46 PM

I personally own Panerai Luminor 10-days GMT, PAM533:

Nice! Thank you!

Just found out about the Porsche Design 1919 Worldtimer UTC. Not sure of their quality, but the functionalities & design are pretty good.

RollinMoses · 20 October 2021, 03:46 AM

The Laurent Ferrier is stunning and would be a winner for me.

Special mention for the UN on rubber. Not a brand I have spent much time on, but I really like the look. Maybe it is the resemblance to the VC overseas aesthetic that appeals. Thanks for sharing!

IF I did not have to pay for it.. this would be my choice hands down
https://watchesbysjx.com/2021/04/gre...-titanium.html

Note the price differential with the titanium vs rubber strap is 40K CHF

That’s a beaut! Here’s my suggestion which is the overlooked bigger brother to the GS quartz GMT’s - this is the SBGM227. GS also just released some new Auto GMT’s with a similar look just last week.
