Not as technologically ooh-la-la as other Citizen offerings, but a solid piece nonetheless.
The EcoDrive Titanium GMT is a 44mm piece in – you guessed it – titanium.
It has an AR-coated sapphire crystal and water resistance to 100 meters.
Movement is the Citizen solar powered EcoDrive quartz. This has a 6 month power reserve and a GMT complication.
A splash of colour from Dubey & Schaldenbrand, with their ‘Dome GMT’ dual-time model.
At a petit 35mm, this piece comes in either stainless steel or 18kt gold.
Water resistance is to 50 meters and the crystal is an AR-coated sapphire.
Movement is the automatic ETA caliber 2892-A2. This has 23 jewels, 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 42 hours.
Non-gaudy colour option also available for the shyer amongst you :-)
A nicely chunky model from UTS.
As it should be, given this thing is water resistant to 4000m!
Yes, down to 4km underwater.
Yikes!
It’s a 45mm piece in stainless steel.
It features a trick bezel with a ceramic ball bearing locking system.
Each one is personally fabricated and tested by Nicolaus Spinner (UTS engineer/founder extraordinaire).
Movement is an automatic base ETA with GMT complication.
Another beautiful Breguet (is there any other thing?).
The Marine GMT is a 42mm piece, in 18kt rose gold. It has a sapphire crystal, a sapphire display back and water resistance to 100 meters.
Movement is the automatic in-house caliber 517F. This has 28 jewels, 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 72 hours.
The dial is 18kt gold coated in blackened rhodium and engine-turned by hand (I think that makes sense!) in a wave pattern.
Each piece is individually numbered and signed Breguet.
It is also available in steel with a silvered dial.
More than just a nice smell, a nice watch too :-)
The Davidoff Velero is a 43mm piece, in stainless steel or 18kt rose gold.
It has an AR-coated sapphire crystal and water resistance to 50 meters.
Movement is the automatic ETA caliber 2892-A2.
This has 21 jewels, 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 42 hours.
It features the Davidoff logo on the rotor and Cotes De Genevea finishing.
A phalanx of Deep Blue World Divers for you.
This $699 piece is powered by a Japanese Miyota FS16 quartz movement.
In stainless steel, it’s 46mm in size. There’s a sapphire crystal and a very commendable water resistance (for $700) to 500m.
Another Toy Watch for you – the Jet Lag GMT.
This one lives up to the toy moniker, particularly around the bezel.
Still, it is cheap at 175 Euros, and does have GMT and date indicators.
What else?
It’s 40mm in size from a ‘special polymer’ and carbon.
Apparently that makes it both light and strong.
The cases, dials and bracelets can be had in black, grey, army green and sand colours.
There comes a time in our lives for all of us when we must fulfil the need to wear six watches at once.
Err, actually there doesn’t really, does there?
But if you do, for whatever strange reason decide that in fact a single watch or even, heaven forbid, dual time zones simply won’t cut it, IceLink have the answer!
At 63mm – yep, 63mm – this monster set of five timezones (New York, London, Dubai, Hong Kong, a ‘home’ zone and the curiously named IceLink zone) will set you back an equally large $44,000.
396 of these will be made, in titanium with 18kt rose gold PVD.
Movement is the manual-wind ILMM1 caliber with 43 jewels, 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 48 hours.
Madness :-)
Speaking of big watches, the Masters of Massive – U-Boat – have an updated U-42 GMT limited edition.
In 300 pieces, this 53mm model comes in titanium, which should at least keep the weight down.
It has a sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 300 meters.
The dial and hands are brass, which is interesting. I wonder if hidden away behind the glass they’ll still be affected by the usual pattination? Wouldn’t the inside have to be inert for them not to?
Might make for some unique personalisation of each piece over time.
The movement is based on an ETA unit and has been modified by U-BOAT. It features a GMT complication.
The strap is brown leather and fitted with a titanium tongue buckle.
There’s a new U-Boat GMT on the way.
Well, 300 pieces thereof anyway.
Would you like some technical specifications for that?
Sure you would!
