Hands down. It looks like nothing else, it's original and the scratch resident coating and flyer GMT function really ensure nothing else is better. I bought this over the CW C63 because, well it's not a REAL GMT 🤣
This looks awesome mate! Would love for them to make a bigger one (much bigger :P) btw... production quality is off the charts mate! Loving what you're doing!!
I may have to do the same. Both of my traveler gmt’s are no longer safe to travel with overseas. And the Swatch group ones are too big and more expensive. With hardened steel, 150 m depth, and traveler gmt function, this is by itself.
The GMT Complication has always been my favorite regardless of brand. I have both a traveler and office GMT. My traveler GMT is my 50th Anniversary GMT Seamaster and the office is a Tag Heuer Formula 1 GMT. To get another traveler GMT for under $1,000 USD is absolutely awesome. Great specs too. My Arctic should be here in a few days. Thank you for the video, it definitely made me pull the trigger on this awesome watch.
Great video as always, super excited for this one to come out! Would the blue still be your pick of the colors like it was when you first reviewed the non-GMT?
@@MrZanzibar123 I’ll keep a look out. Nothing on their website or socials to indicate your statement re Zelos. I’m sure there will be plenty of micros making use of this movement so will be plenty options for everyone
It’s my understanding in the last release a few pieces slipped through QC with misaligned logos. The owner told me they have implemented a whole new additional QC system for just the dial. I’ve personally have never seen the misalignment issue.
@@tyalexander8527 a few pieces? Literally every single photo of every Traska model I've seen, including the ones on their website as well as the watch featured in this video, has the misalignment. Literally every single one.

No „true gmt movement“ has a „quick date setting“. The wearer has to rotate the local hour hand twice around the dial, that’s the only way on setting the date. That’s the same on Rlx, Omg, PP, AP etc. …
Is it still worth getting this model now, the V2 model at $450 aud? The latest version now has on-the-fly microadjustable clasp, and the second crown is now screwed... I have heard reviews of your model - the v2 - is prone to be shifting the inner bezel, at the slightest touch on the 10 oclock crown.
@@fungorilla zero issues with the crown shifting the bezel. It’s actually slightly notched so not sure how reviews say this 🤷♂️ I don’t have the upgraded clasp but it would certainly be a nice addition
how do you move the blue triangle hand by itself? does it move in coordination with the hour hand? I didn't see anywhere in the video where you show how to move it.
You mean the gmt hand ? It’s tied to the main hands like any other gmt watch. Please watch the entire video before making a comment as it’s clearly shown at @5:02 in the video when I talk each crown position like I do with all my videos.
@@mracekproductions I do too, but im worried that normal wearing is gonna move the crown and make it borderline useless. If it locks then its a done deal
oh, well. this seems a pretty good offer. a well sized flyer gmt with decent finish, way below 1k is the perfect travel companion. it is simply impossible to travel with peace of mind when you have anything over 3k at your wrist nowadays. yes, insurances, but i don't want to find myself at the wrong end of a gun anyway. i'll probably pull the trigger on this. my only observation is that given the flyer movement and the rotating bezel, not having fixed 24h markings on the minutes ring is a missed opportunity. but anyway...
To be accurate, the reference to “true” GMT has to do with history. Pilots used GMT (or Zulu) as a universal reference point so they can calibrate and communicate regardless where they are. Now GMT is basically any watches that have additional capability to keep a second time zone, caller or traveler.
Yes. Thanks. I’m a pilot as a day job so I’m well aware of the references but it seems the watch industry / internet as a whole mis-use many terms. A lot of “influencers” use the term “true gmt” to describe a traveller style watch. Ie the ability to independently adjust the hour hand without disrupting time keeping.
Now that lends a whole different perspective of your reviews because contexts matter. Precision is nonnegotiable when you are responsible for so many lives. Also that explains the efficient and informative reviews:) Thanks and looking forward to more reviews.
If the 24 hour markings needed to read the GMT hand are only on the rotating bezel, wouldn't rotating the bezel negate the original reading of the GMT hand?
My only issue: I am not digging any of the color schemes. This Green tone is ugly. All others are fine but there seems to be something missing. Black needed a bit more color on the 24hr numbers perhaps (see Monta), the white is the only one where the 24hr ring has a dif color, it is fine, but muted. The blue is also a bit muted with just one color all over, would love to see that one with a contrasting 24hr ring color, perhaps black or dark grey.
I got the steel blue in about a month ago, and honestly having no break up on the dial looks great in my opinion. I agree it definitely doesn't have the usual GMT Vibes, but I love the sports watch character it has.
Picked up the original Venturer last year when they dropped and I have to say they’re amazing but there are problems. The bracelet, the hardness coating and the finishing are unmatched for the price .The subtle details they add to the watch like the perlage finish on the clasp and the dial choices are amazing but they all have had issues. Both my commuter and the Venturer I bought have had misaligned 12 o’clock markers and the inner rotating bezel on the Venturer had a deep scratch on it. Very disappointing for a $600 watch. Not only that but the dimensions are very off. On both the commuter and the Venturer they are advertised as a 36.5 and 38.5 mm watches but they both wear 2mm bigger due to the very large dials. I’ll have to pass on future Traska watches unless they fix these issues but either way it’s an EXCELLENT value proposition for something looking to buy a watch.
Have to disagree about commuter. Wears to size in my opinion, very similar to the 36mm Rolex explorer I reviewed. If you had these issues did you return them for exchange or refund ?
@@mracekproductions I just decided to keep them but I ended up selling them shortly after. Really loved the watches though. If you compare the dials you’ll see the Commuter is bigger.
Best budget gmt watch

How much looseness or “play” is in the inner rotating bezel?
Perfect in all the ways that matter to me. I absolutely cannot wait!
Well said “that matter to you “ 👏👏
Fantastic watch - on my sights now. Definitely an excellent do it all watch with great attention to details.
Agreed 👍🏻
awesome to see the 9075 popping up. Great review
Thanks 🙏
Excellent review. This looks like an absolutely beautiful piece.
Great review of great watch. And you are astoundingly the only one who reviewed it till today👍
Many thanks appreciate the kind comments
Very impressed by this watch. Looks like it's finally time to pull the trigger on a Traska. Thanks for the great video!
Thanks for watching
Just found your channel. Great production value. Keep it up 👍
I plan to head out of the country for a few months and need a GMT. I think I’m getting this! Great Review.

What is the blue strap on the side at @0:34? Does it fit the Venturer?
That’s an Artem loopless sail cloth strap. Yes it fits. Pics on my IG page
Great review!
Thanks Ty
Thanks for the review of the prototype. Just subscribed. You mention there's no quick set date?
Yeah just have to wind the independent hour hand through to midnight back or forth
Would love to see a version with World Time markings on the inner rotating bezel
I have the Christopher Ward C63 Sealander GMT and I’m thinking spec for spec this is better. Strongly tempted for the launch tomorrow.
Two different types of gmt.
@K C yes traveller vs caller, but in the end I just stick with my C63
5th gen watch....good looking and screchproof
I’m a new watch enthusiast. Could someone explain to me why higher end brands wouldn’t always use hardened steel on their watches?
Good question
Customers aren't asking for it
Great detailed review!
Thanks
I am a sucker for white dial watches and this White Dial GMT is calling out to me. Am so tempted to pull the trigger 😫
You should before they sell out
Great video as always, super excited for this one to come out! Would the blue still be your pick of the colors like it was when you first reviewed the non-GMT?
I’m really digging the white to be honest
I think I’ve found the gmt I’ve been looking for.
Does it track 2 or 3 time zones?
Will the inner rotating bezel have clicks to it so it aligns easier with the hour markers or is it free rotating?
I’ve not handled one with the final gasket so I suggest you email Traska
What is the taper on the bracelet?

Both 😂
@@mracekproductions I wish 😂 are you buying the white?
Is it me or the bezel seems to be misaligned? The 24hr number is slightly to the right of the 12 hr double marker

Agreed
Will this movement be easy to service in years to come ? Over the ETA and selita ?
Intriguing, but no quick set for the date seems a problem for anyone who rotates watches regularly and doesn't leave their watches on a winder
Not that hard to wind the jumping hour hand through 🤷♂️
Rolex gmt masters don't have quick date set either lol. Hour jumper setting works fine.

I think it depends on which hand you're using to track local time. You can track two or three timezones.
Just like a Rolex Gmt master 🤯
@@hollywood1513 the only way to correctly track 3 time zones is to have a inner 24hr chapter ring and a 24hr bezel.
@@mracekproductions I didn't realize the Rolex had the same design flaw.
@@soljaime You can sync your GMT hand to the dial indices and then rotate the 24 hour bezel to match the hour hand for a 3rd time zone.
I like the blue one the most but I fear it would look like too much like my electric blue seemaster 2255.80. First World problem I know.
