Absolutely fantastic video Teddy. Great explanation, there were some complications I had no clue about before your explanation. It seems the new Seiko GMT movement is an "Office" GMT but despite more work to set it up I'm sure it's fine for traveling. I do admit though I tend to throw on my G-Shock Mudmaster GG-1000 Ana-Digi or for a smaller fit my Casio Royale AE-1200 where home time and destination time are right in front of me without thinking about it! $30 and every time zone, that's even indicated on the little digital map! 😁

Liked this one - thanks. I know you mainly focus on autos, but Citizen and GShock worldtimers do some neat things with multiple time zones - especially the ana/digi models. I've got this GShock Gulfmaster (which is a beast but I love it) - you set up your times (one for the analog handset, one for the lcd) and when you travel and want to swap you just press a button and the hands move by themselves. Which is very cool if you're a big child like me. Take care.

My favorite world time watch is the Seiko Prospex Solar SSG015 - World Time Radio-Sync Solar Chronograph. No need to manually set the time because of the radio sync. It’s a bit clunky because of all the complications but is by far the coolest piece in my collection and definitely a conversation piece.

I dodn’t know quite a few things mentioned, but the most surprising is that you’re usually unable to quickset date on true GMTs. Had no idea and honestly I think I prefer the simpler movement. I swap watches too often and I’ve got to set my date all the time, true gamechanger

Hi Teddy! Finally, an explanation of the GMT watch variations that makes sense, and so much detail packed into a short video, very much appreciated. I bought a Tissot Chemin des Tourelles Powermatic 80 GMT-24h watch a few years ago and until now, I never knew whether it was classed as a 'real' GMT watch or not. It has a 24hr scale on the dial face on the outer edge for one time zone, and once the hands have all been set, the smaller hour hand can be rotated independently back or forward without interrupting the other hands. I gather from the video, this makes it a true GMT, correct? I liked the fact that it was an automatic as apart from 3 Quartz watches I have in my small collection, the rest are either automatic or manual, oh and one solar powered quartz which I like because the battery is unlikely to need replacing in what's left of my lifetime, the other Quartz watches are a pain getting batteries replaced (TAG Heuer, Rado and LV). Cheers!

I love my Citizen Satellite Wave with F150 movement. When getting off the plane, I just tell it to listen for the GPS signal and it knows exactly where I am. It does NOT track my home time, but super easy to reset to the new local time, extremely precisely. I also have a Russian Vostok with a 24 hour hand and a rotating bezel that is pretty handy. You can't independently reset the fourth hand, nor the hour hand, but graphically it is very simple. It's so simple it doesn't even have a date quick set. Another one I have that is handy for travelling is another Citizen and a very common one at that, the Nighthawk. And a little surprise for quickly resetting the hour is my Timex (don't know the precise model). It is one they made recently with wire lugs and looks a lot like WWI trench watches. It came on a very soft "bund" strap made in the USA. Cool little watch that can quickly change the hour hand only. Lots of fun options out there!

The first time I was on a connecting flight through SLC I realized what a pain it is to have a caller GMT. Next I did my researched and figure out the whole caller/traveler thing. My next watch was a Glycine Airman Purist which actually has a caller GMT movement (2893-2) but it has no 12 hour hand, it is a 24 hour watch which I grew to love. Now I have a Panerai 233 which is a traveller with a 12 hour "GMT" hand but a matching 24hr sub dial for AM/PM. This allows me to cover up the GMT hand w/ the hour hand when I want to clean up an already tidy face. It is a fun discussion on what could be called a "TRUE" GMT. If you're sitting at home it's no big deal to spin a traveller GMT around to suit your needs but when you have I tight connection and all you have to do is pop the crown and rotate the local 12 hour hand up or back an hour or two it truly makes sense.

I use my dive watch as gmt. At first it may take a little bit of brain effort, but later it’s super easy. Sometime when I travel I just place the 12h marker on the dive bezel at the hour difference of my home town and I set the watch hands at the local time. For example, traveling from Valencia to London. 1h time difference. I rotate the dive bezel so it’s 12h marker stays at 11 oclock. So when it’s 11:00 in London, I know it’s 12:00 in Valencia. When it’s 9:00 in London, the hour hand points at (50) marker on the bezel, which corresponds to 10h. For a trip to a city that’s only 1h time difference this may sound stupid. But you don’t know how many times by mistake I end up adding an hour, instead of substracting. When I need to know the time and time difference quickly without looking at my phone, I do this. After all I have a rotating bezel, I’m not going to dive or anything, so why not use it?
