Description

This is a steel GMT sports watch with a deep blue dial and red GMT hand. It is powered by the accurate 9f86 quartz movement. It has a fixed bezel with the 24 hour dial for the GMT hand. It’s a traveler GMT and a good travel companion with its two time zones and very precise movement. Battery lasted 3.5 years, easy replacement by my local watch shop. Case shows little wear in my 3.5 years of ownership. This balances well on the wrist so is a good roving watch and I’ve used it around water a lot as it has 10bar WR and a screw-down crown. I have many watches in rotation, but this could easily be a GADA. The newest version has a 4 o’clock crown; not my favorite, but still a fine watch.
