Four Things To Know About GMT Watches - Everything You Should Know (Comprehensive Guide) 

Thanks for creating these educational videos. For me, knowledge is an important part of being a watch enthusiast.

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.

Your explanations are always the best. Great video, as usual.

Best GMT video out there to explain all of the various types. Thank you 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.

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 💪🏾

Great video. For those on a tight budget, I recommend the Casio Royale (AE-1200) - a world time watch for under $30.

Love these educational videos. Thanks, Teddy…!

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! 😁

I really missed these strictly instructive videos from teddy... Amazing watch-commentary pair up and on point as always! Thank you so much 🫶

What a awesome video that cover pretty much all there's to learn about GMT watch; great work Teddy, keep the good efforts !

Thanks very much for explaining the GMT and other the other types as well!!!! You are very much appreciated!!!!

Great video Teddy, really enjoyed this one and am in the market for a GMT...HELPFUL!

Great Video! Thank you. Also thanks for showing the difference in setting a caller vs. traveler GMT.

Exactly what I needed to learn! Thank you again, Teddy!

GREAT explanation. Finally cleared things up for me. Thanks Teddy! 🙌🏾 ⚡️

More one perfect vídeo. Congratulations from Brazil!

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 heard you talking about GMT watches in other videos and had no idea what it meant. Thanks so much for this.

Teddy, this is the best video I’ve yet seen discussing GMT watch types and functionality. Nice work. 😎🌎🌍🌏⌚️

terrific overview Teddy

Thanks for the explanation of the True vs caller GMT. Never really understood it.

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.

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.

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

Bravo, another amazing video... THANK YOU

Teddy my favourite ringmaster

Thank you this was useful.

All the vids are great. Thanks for all this content

Excellent video with clear explanations.

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.

Ya, definitely helped. I learnt a lot. Thanks!

Great video, thank you! Good explanation

Great video!

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.

Great video!👍

Terrific video Teddy! There is another permutation on the WT watch in the Montblanc Geosphere. A beautiful way to represent time.

Really appreciate this education

GMT is my favorite complication. Great video!

Very informative. Thank you.

I recently got the Oris Aquis GMT Date, 24hour time scale on the face AND a rotating bezel. Simultaneously tracks 3 timezones. 👍

Packed with information. I like this type of video

Excellent video! Zodiac has nailed the summer watch look, that's for sure.

Fantastic video.

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.

Great video as usual!!!

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 👍

Very helpful. Thank you

Excellent video

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.

Love the piano Teddy, a great touch☺️

Simply spoken, well addressed.

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.

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 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.

Once again teddy thank you for the history lesson I make sure I all ways like your vids very knowledgeable

Just got a Mido Multifort GMT Wordltimer, I love it!!

Listen. I learn from Teddy Baldassarre. This content is so great, I watched it twice.

Very nicely done.

Helpful thanks

That was awesome

Man, the GMT has to be one of my favourite and more useful complications!

Teddy, great job with this deep dive into GMT topic 👍

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

3:09 I think people massively understate how much of an influence Pan Am had on modern aviation as we know it. Fun fact, not only did they popularise the use of GMT watches for pilots, but they were also the first ones to utilise the iconic naval officer dress style uniform for pilots, with all the other airlines following suit.

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

Thanks Teddy! I love & learn more about my Luminox Commando... Great Vidya 😁😁😁 GMT is cooler the same I thought 👍🏼

Seiko SUN023. true GMT kinetic tuna. Thanks for another great vid

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

Professor Baldassarre, Dean of the Faculty of Horology, thanks very much from this new student. Cheers!

Thanks Teddy!! Any chance you can do a video on d.dornblüth & sohn?

Most excellent!

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!

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.

I use my dive watch as gmt. At first it may take a little bit of brain effort, but later it’s super easy. Sometime when I travel I just place the 12h marker on the dive bezel at the hour difference of my home town and I set the watch hands at the local time. For example, traveling from Valencia to London. 1h time difference. I rotate the dive bezel so it’s 12h marker stays at 11 oclock. So when it’s 11:00 in London, I know it’s 12:00 in Valencia. When it’s 9:00 in London, the hour hand points at (50) marker on the bezel, which corresponds to 10h. For a trip to a city that’s only 1h time difference this may sound stupid. But you don’t know how many times by mistake I end up adding an hour, instead of substracting. When I need to know the time and time difference quickly without looking at my phone, I do this. After all I have a rotating bezel, I’m not going to dive or anything, so why not use it?

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

I am so into that Zodiac - the white and green pops so nicely

I got into watch collection because of this channel! I love this channel and the detailed reviews!! Awesome job!!!!

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.

In love with my black and white Planet Ocean gmt

Very interesting information, Please do a video on pieces of Greubel Forsey or Phillippe Dufour

Thanks Teddy. Clearly explained. What is the difference between GMT and UTC? I missed that one.

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.

The names of these different types of multi-time-zone watches makes them sound a lot more different than they functionally are. It feels like a difference between A car whose back door can only be unlocked using the buttons on the front two doors vs one Who’s back doors can be unlocked independently. They’re all dual time lol

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! 😅

GMT complication is fascinating and very usefull. However I find the most usefull and clear is the second ring time zone

I like GMT watches. Genuinely useful while traveling 🤠

Just found out my Tudor “root beer” should be arrive at my AD soon! Really excited about that one.

I travel to different countries very often for work, having a GMT watch helps me a lot.

Although, almost all people refer GMTs as true or not without much thought this has some room for thoughts 1. When thinking of the definition of the word true, it is wrong to say “true” GMT. They both tell multiple zone times 2. Considering the first GMT watch as Teddy introduced are Glycine Airmen and Rolex GMT master. They are the first ‘original’ GMT watches which are entitled to be called “TRUE” more, but did not have jumping hour features of course. 3. Calling true makes unnecessary misleading perception towards each of them. Such as traveler GMTs are superior than office GMTs yet they both are genuine GMT watches and both tell the multiple times without a problem. Just like quartz and mechanical watch debate, this IMO come from a watch snobbery mindset.

You should do this kind of video for all different watch types! I'd love a video on the history of dive watches

Hi Teddy Baldassare love your videos about the watch industry, have a question for you about this “gmt complication” even if it’s a true one or an office automatic mechanism, do you have to be safe about the “safe zone” concerning the date function? Everyone in RU-vid channel’s speaks about changing the second hour hand or the main one but no one ( from what I’ve seen) talks about this issue imagine you are at 10 o’clock and your second time zone is at 3 o’clock and you need to change the hours hands ? What are the best thing to do? Change only the 2 hour hand at 3 o’clock our reset the watch ? Imagine if you need to change the first hour backwards? And them change your second hand to midnight? What should you do ? Choose the hand that changes the date ? Or go and mark your time zone in the second hand ( I’m a bit confused about this issue that nobody talks about!) can you please tell all of us ? All the best and by the way love your video in the Tissot Factory! Next time you need to visit the Longines factory it’s same group and now they’re throw out to the market very cool watches! All the best for your channel and company Teddy Baldassare!👏

Awesome video! Hey guys, what's the last watch that Teddy shows in the video?

Great timing after Seiko released the GMT Seiko 5

Hey Teddy, love your videos. Could you please reccomend some good GMT watches for under $500. Thanks

the last watch is simply amazing, unimatic? what serial? great content man

Nice video, but I thought you made a video on this subject already. Thanks.

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.
