In the video you mention that the GMT is without lume and you’re not sure if pilots would need it. As an airline pilot, myself, I can say that the majority of the time that we need Zulu time, is while on the ground, for mission planning/flight plan filling etc. What I DO use more commonly in flight is the second hand. I wish it was a traditional style second hand, with lume. That said, I’m STILL strongly considering this beauty! Great presentation!
What a watch. Got it pre-owned unworn for USD 1550. Loses a minute every three weeks which is COSC level accuracy. Oris makes good, durable watches as affordable prices. They are the unsung hero of the watchworld. Deserves a lot more attention and credit.
Sorry guys NO 4K. File got messed up. Old video re-edited with new intro and outro.Also the Frame rate got a little messed up as well. Hope you all still enjoy. -falling
A really hi quality review... Hi quality photography, hi quality comments showing pros and cons... FINALLY a manufacturer providing a watch with a BI-DIRECTIONALLY moving minute bezel (the uni-directional bezels are good for diver watches but NOT in aviation). This timepiece can really be used in the cockpit to navigate old style VFR with map, compass and watch. And since times always are noted in GMT format in aviation, the GMT function is very welcome too... Must resist the urge to go to a store tomorrow morning and buy one... Actually, why should I resist ?? ;-)
@@EscapementWatch In fact, the new Caliber 400 is an extraordinary movement with exceptional specs. Unfortunately I don't become warm with diver watches of any brand. It is the other direction for which my heart beats (up in the air :-)). A little patience is needed... ORIS will give us a caliber 400 in an aviation watch yet this year. But nevertheless, the Timer GMT might still be a precious part of every watch collection and the Sellita SW200-1 is a precise, robust and reliable workhorse built in millions of watches (your Timegrapher proved it).
The bigger problem with one way bezels is you'll usually find them with 60 or 120 clicks and marked with 24 hours, and 24 does not go into 60 or 120 evenly. VFR navigation.... I tend to think small seconds is inappropriate for VFR navigation because reading exact seconds is so critical. So I don't see this as a navigation watch, more just a travelling / pilot watch.
You "...NEVER SAW..." a lift/lock wristband mechanism before.."... REALLY? They seem to be on EVERY metal bracelet watch sold today. In fact? The older, leather belt style band is almost impossible to find these days! ALARMS? Mechanical ones? Now THOSE are the REAL rarities. YES, VERY, VERY, EXPENSIVE IF YOU CAN?!!!

Thinking of copying you:)
You paid too much....u can buy one for 1k brand new online
@uberchi52 really, where
I wish they had gone for a full sized second hand. For me half the attraction of a mechanical watch is seeing that beautiful sweep of the second hand.
I’ve watched a couple of your reviews and I’m really impressed with your impartiality and content…thumbs up dude 👍🏽
I appreciate that!

Thanks for the kind words! You should not resist!!! And also check out today's new review on the new oris aquis 400 41mm.

Totally understand. I love my Flieger. And according to people around me the most it's the watch I wear the most!

these are on sale with a strap instead of a bracelet for like $940 right now. was considering it but its too big for me
Great review! Too large and pricey for my budget but damn it looks nice.
True GMT movement?
no its based on eta 2836 the sw220. You can jump the GMT hand but not the hours hand. No jumping hours.
@@EscapementWatchwhat exactly is meant by "no jumping hours"? And not a true GMT? Just wondering
@@allthingsgilmourit means when you pull the crown and spin the gmt hand moves, not the hour hand alone.
Hey @Escapement & Watch loving your content. Have you see the SPB213 63MAS? I think you’ll love this one and would love to see you review it!
Ordered it a while ago!
The lack of the bracelet micro adjustment is a real shame. Not luming the second and gmt hand seem like obvious oversights as well.
I would have to agree, no micro adjust on an upscale watch is unheard of. And the gmt DEFINATELY needs lume
@@allthingsgilmour Depending what you call upscale, Hamilton is notorious for lack of bracelet adjust.
That's a cool piece and i love design but no micro adjust is an instant deal breaker for me. If I can't make it comfortable I'm not going to wear it.
too bad it wasn't so big. but it is a pilots watch

Yes the shape of it the way it is a flimsy open is exactly like an airplane seat belt I've never seen that before
