Man, the GMT has to be one of my favourite and more useful complications!
Key word “complications”…(I still don’t get it). I’ll just add and subtract in my head 😁
Thanks for creating these educational videos. For me, knowledge is an important part of being a watch enthusiast.
Appreciate this, Ralph. I second your thoughts here.
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!
Great video and content as always Teddy. You just answered a lot of questions I had about GMTs.
Best GMT video out there to explain all of the various types. Thank you Teddy!
I really missed these strictly instructive videos from teddy... Amazing watch-commentary pair up and on point as always! Thank you so much 🫶
Your explanations are always the best. Great video, as usual.
Exactly what I needed to learn! Thank you again, Teddy!
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.
Love these educational videos. Thanks, Teddy…!
terrific overview Teddy
What a awesome video that cover pretty much all there's to learn about GMT watch; great work Teddy, keep the good efforts !
GREAT explanation. Finally cleared things up for me. Thanks Teddy! 🙌🏾 ⚡️
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 💪🏾
Thanks very much for explaining the GMT and other the other types as well!!!! You are very much appreciated!!!!
Great video!
All the vids are great. Thanks for all this content
Great Video! Thank you. Also thanks for showing the difference in setting a caller vs. traveler GMT.
Great video Teddy, really enjoyed this one and am in the market for a GMT...HELPFUL!
Great video as usual!!!
Excellent video with clear explanations.
Ya, definitely helped. I learnt a lot. Thanks!
Bravo, another amazing video... THANK YOU
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! 😁
More one perfect vídeo. Congratulations from Brazil!
Great video, thank you! Good explanation
Very informative. Thank you.
Teddy my favourite ringmaster
I heard you talking about GMT watches in other videos and had no idea what it meant. Thanks so much for this.
Great video!👍
Very helpful. Thank you
Really appreciate this education
Packed with information. I like this type of video
Great video. For those on a tight budget, I recommend the Casio Royale (AE-1200) - a world time watch for under $30.
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.
Thank you this was useful.
GMT is my favorite complication. Great video!
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.
Very nicely done.
Love the piano Teddy, a great touch☺️
Thanks for the explanation of the True vs caller GMT. Never really understood it.
Teddy, this is the best video I’ve yet seen discussing GMT watch types and functionality. Nice work. 😎🌎🌍🌏⌚️
Fantastic video.
Your timing is great. I just got the new Seiko 5 SSK001 GMT.
I was also confused about caller/office vs. true/traveler. Thanks for the informative video as always.
Absolutely love your content, Teddy. Let me know when you're in LA and I'll buy you a fat burrito.
I will never say no to a burrito. Enjoy the new watch!
Seiko 5 GMT is next on my list! I didn’t know they were already out for purchase.. where did you grab yours?
@@financeinfluencer2158 I have a Seiko AD near me actually. If you're in SoCal I can get you my discount.
I'm looking to get that watch too, how does it wear on your wrist?
@@aeis3007 Super comfortable. Couldn't recommend enough.
Simply spoken, well addressed.
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.
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.
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.
That was awesome
Terrific video Teddy! There is another permutation on the WT watch in the Montblanc Geosphere. A beautiful way to represent time.
I recently got the Oris Aquis GMT Date, 24hour time scale on the face AND a rotating bezel. Simultaneously tracks 3 timezones. 👍
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 👍
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.
Helpful thanks
Excellent video
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.
Hugo, I am drawn to the mido ocean star gmt but concerned it might wear large for my 7.25" wrist. Your thoughts?
@@toddsmith8608 Todd, I like to wear big watches. My wrist is 7.5, so I think you can pull it off. I don't think it wears too big.
@@hugohernandez3651 thanks for responding.
Most excellent!
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.
Listen. I learn from Teddy Baldassarre. This content is so great, I watched it twice.
Thanks for watching, Darius!
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.
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 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
Thanks Teddy! I love & learn more about my Luminox Commando... Great Vidya 😁😁😁 GMT is cooler the same I thought 👍🏼
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 am so into that Zodiac - the white and green pops so nicely
Professor Baldassarre, Dean of the Faculty of Horology, thanks very much from this new student. Cheers!
In love with my black and white Planet Ocean gmt
Seiko SUN023. true GMT kinetic tuna. Thanks for another great vid
Teddy, great job with this deep dive into GMT topic 👍
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
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!
Thanks Teddy. Clearly explained. What is the difference between GMT and UTC? I missed that one.
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.
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
Awesome video! Hey guys, what's the last watch that Teddy shows in the video?
I like GMT watches. Genuinely useful while traveling 🤠
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.
Hey Teddy, love your videos. Could you please reccomend some good GMT watches for under $500. Thanks
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
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
You should do this kind of video for all different watch types! I'd love a video on the history of dive watches
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.
Just found out my Tudor “root beer” should be arrive at my AD soon! Really excited about that one.
Thanks man I never understood this
Great video Teddy. What’s your opinion on Certina DS gmt? No one writes about Certina…
Thanks for the great video Teddy! I got interested in the last watch of the video. Which brand and model is it? I mean the black dial field/diver style watch with the 12-hour bezel and no GMT hand. Anyone?
GMT complication is fascinating and very usefull. However I find the most usefull and clear is the second ring time zone
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.
hey teddy! can u make a review about axios watches? cheers!
Nice video, but I thought you made a video on this subject already. Thanks.
Excellent Teddy, thank you 🙏.
Now I don't have to feel foolish not knowing this quite important complication 👍😁
i guess this whole time, I knew nothing about GMTs lol great vid!
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.
Great timing after Seiko released the GMT Seiko 5
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 travel to different countries very often for work, having a GMT watch helps me a lot.
