Re: INFO PDQ RE GMT THKS
In Response To: WTK About Seamaster GMT. CTXT ()

: Hi im very new at this and I have just purchased a Seamaster
: GMT.

Congratulations!

: I may be wrong but it seems to me that the Gmt is the
: only Seamaster without the nitrogen release valve. Is this
: true, and if so why, since they are all rated at 300m?

Actually, there are several editions of the Seamaster Pro 300M that do not have this valve. The America's Cup edition and the ladies models are some examples.

Read the zOwie Seamaster FAQ for more detail. But the valve (helium, not nitrogen) is for a special purpose and has nothing to do with either the depth rating of the watch or normal diving.

: Also how long has this watch been in production?

The GMT came out in Fall of 1998.
