agreed. I travel frequently, and I just use the GMT hand on my caller GMT as the main hour hand for the country I am in. I also use the 24hr rehaut AND the 24hr bezel to track a third time zone.

The problem with “traveler” GMTs is there is often no quickset date and that can be a pain if you don’t wear the watch all the time.

I’m an airline pilot and I have both in mycollection (tudor,mido, Glycine, Foliot and a coworker made company branded gmt with the nh34). biggest time zone change I deal with is 3 hours so if I’m wearing a caller I just do the math or rotate the bezel. It’s really not a big deal. The least fussy gmt (technically a 24 hour watch) I own and low key favorite is my Glycine DC-4. I set the outer bezel and done. I look down and I’ve got eastern time, gmt and with some quick mental math for the time zone change I’m good to go.

I used to have a job that required me to know what Zulu time it was. I also occasionally traveled to another time zone for 4 months at a time, & it was helpful to know what time it was back home, too. My office GMT watch was perfect for these needs! Of course…a G-Shock did it just as well.

The term "true GMT" is most often used by social media influencers and some watch sellers. Watch and watch movement manufactures do not generally use the term. I use a caller (jumping GMT hand) GMT watch to track the time zone of my son who lives in another continent. If I were a traveller, I would use a traveller (jumping hour hand) GMT watch.

A traveler's GMT uses a more complicated mechanism to adjust the hour hand and the date (which can go backwards when crossing the international dateline). The office GMT uses an add-on to the regular date mechanism.

Nice informative video ... these days, with phone apps that can tell different times in one screen, any type of GMT watch is ok :). Thanks to Seiko (office) and Citizen (true), GMT movements are now available to many watchmakers and more affordable pieces can be made. It's nice to have an automatic GMT in rotation. In my old office, we had several clocks on the wall with different times for different zones. In the new office, this was replaced with a big screen that showed the time. Time waits for no one, must adapt :)

The traveller GMT are more expensive because the way the hour hand is connected to the main gear train (the organs that provide time regulations to the hands) is more complex than the other, just this.

There is another type of GMT called an "original GMT" which is the type that the original Rolex GMT Master was from 1954-1984. This type has the 24 hour hand slaved to the 12 hour hand in a fixed ratio. The way to track a second time zone is by rotating the bezel.

The last time I travelled (2020) I used my GA-2100 on a rubber strap as my main watch and GMT. That being said, I own the Omega SMP 300 GMT (1998) and a Longines Zulu Time. I will bring them along when I fly to Georgia later this year. But the GShock is a must!

@johnsuzuki3572 Жыл бұрын

A traveler's GMT can only be convenient when both the GMT hand and the hour hand indicating the home time. Then when you travel, just move the hour hand to the new local time, and the GMT hand tracks the home time. But when you are not traveling and have set the GMT hand to another time zone, you have to adjust the GMT hand to the home time zone and the hour hand to the new local time zone when you travel. So, I think a true GMT suits people who spend more time on travel than staying in their hometown. I don’t think they are many people like that. So it’s not that convenient or ideal than we think. I’m not trying to disrespect anyone but just a thought I noticed😅

If you want a watch which is functionally perfect for traveling, buy Longines Conquest VHP GMT. So easy to adjust time zones while tracking your home time. I have JLC Master Control Geographic (even better than “true GMT”), Omega Aqua Terra (independently adjustable hour hand), and several cheaper caller GMTs. But Longines is my number one choice for traveling.

@NickNick-id8sb Жыл бұрын

I'll admit it. I'm a sucker for "true" GMT movements but they are always on the expensive side. There is also a flaw in the ETA movement that nobody is talking about. It's quite weird because there are thousands of watch snobs. When jumping the hour hand on the MIDO or the slightly modified LONGINES the GMT hand wobbles. I find that at least not good. On the much more affordable Miyota 9075 movement everything works fine. Take a look at the new BOLDR GMT reviews. I'm patiently waiting for a Citizen release with the 9075 movement. I hope they're working on it. I'm out of topic. Anyway a GMT complication either true or office is very useful. Much more than a plain diving watch. Everybody should have one. Great video as always.

It is not "true" it is travelers gmt vs office gmt. True gmt refers to the fact that Zulu time is zero or true zero (UTC). Both gmts are the same in function different only in how complicated mech is. In both options you set GMT hand on UTC/GMT time and then use the hands and/or bezel to know local time and (home/foreign office time)... end of story.. GMT hand is set one and done to UTC (this is a practical need of pilots cause they talk time as UTC+/-). So how you set local time is the only difference... and honestly if you travel t zone which is not a full hour difference it is easier to do it on an office gmt... also it is cheaper... also it is less complicated so it breaks less... cost of service less... think about it

@jrbrown1989 Жыл бұрын

As others have already pointed out, you definitely should at least mention the lack of quickset date on Traveller GMTs. For me, the utility of quickset date trumps that of jumping hour hand.

@doperdr Жыл бұрын

lack of reasoning is overwhelming here. quickset date cannot be reversed which is very important feature of true gmt watches. also you can break the movement if you try to change dates between 11pm to 3am if its quickset.

@jrbrown1989 Жыл бұрын

"An overwhelming lack of reasoning" might be a little strong there now. Surely my preference for one feature of a mechanical watch over a different but very similar feature can hardly be construed as an overwhelming lack of reasoning. But yes, there are certainly pros and cons to both mechanisms.

First of all, the days of "true" GMTs carrying a substantially higher price tag than caller GMTs are numbered, especially with the advent of the Miyota 9075. Unless you're someone like a pilot who's constantly moving back and forth between different time zones every day, it's not like it's a serious pain to update the time on a caller GMT. For the occasional business traveler, or someone who's just on vacation, the hassle of losing the quick-set date on a "true" GMT would likely far outweigh the utility of the jumping hour hand.

Makes it easy to adjust time zones when traveling and I don't really care about GMT. Watch snobs won't like it because it's a quartz movement. But the benefit is that I usually only have to skip one day a few times a year because it doesn't stop and go off many days like a manual would if you don't wear it all the time. Also, the accuracy is pretty good, it only goes off about 2 seconds per year. So I hack the second hand every 6 months or so and I'm good.
