Appreciate this, Ralph. I second your thoughts here.

Great video and content as always Teddy. You just answered a lot of questions I had about GMTs.

I really missed these strictly instructive videos from teddy... Amazing watch-commentary pair up and on point as always! Thank you so much 🫶

This was by far the best explanation of how GMTs and the different movements work! I just purchased the Seiko 5 SSK003 "Batman" GMT and love it!

Your explanations are always the best. Great video, as usual.

Best GMT video out there to explain all of the various types. Thank you Teddy!

Love these educational videos. Thanks, Teddy…!

What a awesome video that cover pretty much all there's to learn about GMT watch; great work Teddy, keep the good efforts !

Man, the GMT has to be one of my favourite and more useful complications!

GREAT explanation. Finally cleared things up for me. Thanks Teddy! 🙌🏾 ⚡️

Exactly what I needed to learn! Thank you again, Teddy!

Thanks very much for explaining the GMT and other the other types as well!!!! You are very much appreciated!!!!

I’m glad I’m not the only weirdo that appreciates all these tiny details about watches, I’m not gonna lie the Tudor Pepsi was looking like the choice but the ball Pepsi with the blue dial is special. Nice one my guy 💪🏾

Great video, very comprehensive as usual! For the last “budget” option I was thinking about the rado captain cook over-pole as well with its world time bezel.

Teddy my favourite ringmaster

Great video Teddy, really enjoyed this one and am in the market for a GMT...HELPFUL!

Great Video! Thank you. Also thanks for showing the difference in setting a caller vs. traveler GMT.

I love my Tudor BB GMT since I bought it one year and five months ago. I love it. Thanks for another excellent video Teddy.

I'd also consider the JLC Reverso Duoface as a GMT as you can have each face showing a different time zone and the travel time has a jumping hour mechanism

I have to agree completely. Flip the case and flip the location. Simples. Day and night indication is as clear as day... or night.

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! 😁

Listen. I learn from Teddy Baldassarre. This content is so great, I watched it twice.

Thanks for the explanation of the True vs caller GMT. Never really understood it.

Ya, definitely helped. I learnt a lot. Thanks!

Packed with information. I like this type of video

Great video!

Once again teddy thank you for the history lesson I make sure I all ways like your vids very knowledgeable

Excellent video! Zodiac has nailed the summer watch look, that's for sure.

Great video, thank you! Good explanation

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.

Just when I was starting to realise I don't know how to set some of the GMT complications but too embarrassed to admit it here comes Teddy to the rescue. Thank you sir 👍

Terrific video Teddy! There is another permutation on the WT watch in the Montblanc Geosphere. A beautiful way to represent time.

GMT is my favorite complication. Great video!

Very informative. Thank you.

Love the piano Teddy, a great touch☺️

Great video. One 2nd time zone feature can be found in chronographs with the chrono minute and hour counters co-axially mounted together. But the chrono must come with a 60 minute counter.

3:09 I think people massively understate how much of an influence Pan Am had on modern aviation as we know it. Fun fact, not only did they popularise the use of GMT watches for pilots, but they were also the first ones to utilise the iconic naval officer dress style uniform for pilots, with all the other airlines following suit.

Great video!👍

Simply spoken, well addressed.

Really helped with understanding what a GMT-watch is, didn't think I would need one but now my collection feel the lack of it.

Professor Baldassarre, Dean of the Faculty of Horology, thanks very much from this new student. Cheers!

Amazing video. The GMT is my favorite complication. I have a GMT Master II Pepsi and a Mido Ocean Star GMT. The Mido also has a true GMT movement.

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!

There are some really cool GMT watches out there, but personally I don´t travel that much and I don't have the need to track an second time zone so these are the type of watches that I wouldn't buy, but I enjoy so much to see them

Thank you this was useful.

Teddy, great job with this deep dive into GMT topic 👍

Very helpful. Thank you

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 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?

Really appreciate this education

Great video. I love GMTs. Some hobbyists are dive watch guys; others are dress watch guys. I am and will forever be a GMT guy.

Fantastic video.

I recently got the Oris Aquis GMT Date, 24hour time scale on the face AND a rotating bezel. Simultaneously tracks 3 timezones. 👍

Very nicely done.

I got into watch collection because of this channel! I love this channel and the detailed reviews!! Awesome job!!!!

Excellent video

i love the last one (12hr rotating bezel) because i can confirm the future relationship of local and home time zone. it helps me to decide when to set meeting in the future.

Just got a Mido Multifort GMT Wordltimer, I love it!!

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!

I travel to different countries very often for work, having a GMT watch helps me a lot.

Thanks Teddy! I love & learn more about my Luminox Commando... Great Vidya 😁😁😁 GMT is cooler the same I thought 👍🏼

Although, almost all people refer GMTs as true or not without much thought this has some room for thoughts 1. When thinking of the definition of the word true, it is wrong to say “true” GMT. They both tell multiple zone times 2. Considering the first GMT watch as Teddy introduced are Glycine Airmen and Rolex GMT master. They are the first ‘original’ GMT watches which are entitled to be called “TRUE” more, but did not have jumping hour features of course. 3. Calling true makes unnecessary misleading perception towards each of them. Such as traveler GMTs are superior than office GMTs yet they both are genuine GMT watches and both tell the multiple times without a problem. Just like quartz and mechanical watch debate, this IMO come from a watch snobbery mindset.

@EinarHovdastad

Жыл бұрын

I agree - both is genuine GMT watches. Calling one of these “True” is a misleading marketing business. Why not “Basic GMT” and “GMT 2”?

Very well made video! Now I want a GMT watch just for the cool factor. Had never understand the aftermarket half colored bezel with 12h scale. Now I know they just don'r know what they are doing. haha Subscribed!

The names of these different types of multi-time-zone watches makes them sound a lot more different than they functionally are. It feels like a difference between A car whose back door can only be unlocked using the buttons on the front two doors vs one Who’s back doors can be unlocked independently. They’re all dual time lol

Helpful thanks

I am so into that Zodiac - the white and green pops so nicely

Most excellent!

I have an Ulysse Nardin Dual Time base on UN-334 in-house caliber with pushers, which is also a very interesting and convenient way of having two time zones. New Grand Seiko GMT is quite cool too

I like GMT watches. Genuinely useful while traveling 🤠

That was awesome

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

Really appreciate all of the effort you put in these videos! However I think you should at least mention the seiko or citizen options that have multiple timezones and GPS sync to keep them updated automatically

Seiko SUN023. true GMT kinetic tuna. Thanks for another great vid

You should do this kind of video for all different watch types! I'd love a video on the history of dive watches

Thanks Teddy!! Any chance you can do a video on d.dornblüth & sohn?

Very interesting information, Please do a video on pieces of Greubel Forsey or Phillippe Dufour

GMT complication is fascinating and very usefull. However I find the most usefull and clear is the second ring time zone

I have a few GMT watches and like them all. Some are easier to set the GMT hand than others. My favorite is the Seiko Landmaster Spring Drive. That watch for the money has a great but underrated movement.

Just found out my Tudor “root beer” should be arrive at my AD soon! Really excited about that one.

Thanks Teddy. Clearly explained. What is the difference between GMT and UTC? I missed that one.

In love with my black and white Planet Ocean gmt

Excellent Teddy, thank you 🙏. Now I don't have to feel foolish not knowing this quite important complication 👍😁

Great timing after Seiko released the GMT Seiko 5

Awesome video! Hey guys, what's the last watch that Teddy shows in the video?

Thank you to clarify the operating mode of the GMT Watches . I will try to find details in book (in French) . Enjoying your videos, i think that there is now more watches with this GMT fonction. I will try to forget the OMEGA WORLD TIMER (wonderful) you have already shown us that we can find GMT watches for affordable price.

I had a need for an office GMT. In a pinch, what I did, was to use the bezel on my Seiko Skx007. I needed to track Phoenix time and Madrid time. I just positioned the 12:00 mark at the 3:00 position and read the time that way. It works! 😅

Thanks for your advise, I use my Turtles and rotate the Triangle mark at 11:00, then can read the time at Japan UTC +9 hour when I am live in Hong Kong UTC +8 by the hour hand.

i guess this whole time, I knew nothing about GMTs lol great vid!

My favorite GMT right now is the Grand Seiko Evolution 9 GMT, reference SBGE285 - a stunning titanium watch with spring drive to boot. I'd love to see a review.

Very thorough explanation! For me living in the US, and only really caring about other time zones in the US, the simple 12-hour rotating bezel is my best option. I just wish there were more watches out there to offer a 12-hour bezel.

There are many aftermarket bezel inserts available for Seiko and Orient dice watches that have 12 hour markings (often labeled as "dual time")

Great video. I would like you to take a few minutes to explain with examples about the World Time complication, since it confuses me when it is daylight saving time and the configuration of the cities on the bezel or rehaut of the watch.

Nice video, but I thought you made a video on this subject already. Thanks.
