Lots of Metal / Little Numbers and Letters
In Response To: Another GMT *PIC* ()


Shaun:

I liked this one, as a piece of metal / piece of technology / ultimate Alpha Male of the Chronomatics, but it did not pass the test for legibility / practicality. It bothered me that this watch used so much real estate (metal), but ended up with such small numbers and letters (on the GMT scale and names of cities). So you might say that I liked the watch -- in theory -- but not on my wrist, as a watch to wear and use to tell the time.

I must admit that I have something of this same issue with the Breilting Chrono-Matic GMT, but not to the same extent. And, I prefer the design / colors / overall look of the Breitling.

: I thought I'd post this one for a change. For me it is somewhat a hybrid heuer-breitling-omega.
: Heuer and Breitling as it is powered by the cal14 GMT version of the famous cal12, and omega because the case really looks like it comes from the flightmaster stable.
