^^^ It varies, so it's hard to say. Some have been (UK time) in the morning, some around lunchtime and some in the afternoon. So, who knows?

Thanks Welshlad. Will just have to clear the diary for the day and keep the fingers crossed

Hard agree, and think that at the 300 level, they’ll go with the 24-hour bezel. Still love the Dive-GMT execution of the bezel and rehaut on the Elite GMT, but don’t imagine it’d suit the 300.

I think I’ve said it elsewhere, but 300m Pro glossy dress diver, 600m matte tool diver, and a limited-run 1000m titanium diver still makes sense as a lineup to me. I’d also very much be in the market for a 600 or Elite with the updated dial.

And a GMT 300 with a 24-hour bezel, but a dive bezel with 24-hour rehaut on the Elite GMT again (and ideally the 600) would also by my choice, though I’m not really in the market for a GMT — I have family on three continents and am used to the ‘it’s tomorrow minus five hours for my brother’ mental arithmetic.

I think the current Elite is a good watch but there are a couple of nagging things that keep me from getting one. I think they should ditch the 0-16 minute underline (should only be 15 minutes anyway) and go with hashes like the Ombré. They should have updated the dial too. It didn't show much confidence putting out a 'Back In Stock' media hit in Sept/Oct with the old style marking on the dial.

Oh now you aren't really trying and we all know that you know it too! My fam are seven hours behind so who needs a watch to inform things?
It's not about need it's about desire that "wouldn't it be nice" moment....just like the basic timekeeping function. It's after ten at night right? Close enough? Well no, I want tp see the time to the minute.

Oh wow another dive watch. I was just thinking how CW is missing that in their inventory.

GMT C60 300 would be very cool and in the right price range for me. Although I still think the C65 Aquitaine is the better looking model. But it's also 500$ish more. Decisions decisions...

Haha… if James Bond doesn’t need a GMT, why should I?! Ok fine — I regularly spend time looking at GMTs before convincing myself that it’d be even more of an affectation than wearing a dive watch on a daily basis, and that a focussed collection is better than trying to have one of everything, and that I don’t even have all the divers I’d like so shouldn’t spend the money. I think that covers most of it?

I wonder if they will release 2 separate watches?
1 X Diver (300 cosc, applied logo. I'm fantasising now)
1 X GMT (New GMT, flyer vs the current caller)

Hmmmmm, IMO unlikely.
A facelift of the Pro300 diver would have another (or its own) teaser and not the one we have seen...

I think that a "flyer" GMT will not happen if Sellita does not come up with a ready-to-supply solution. As of now, they only have the SW330, which is a "caller" GMT. But I would love to be surprised !

My in-laws are still in the 1950s... I don't think a GMT will help me.

I spotted the yellow cabs too, and reckon that CW are opening a boutique in NYC.
Perhaps?

Mind you, if it was an American Themed post it would say

01.25.24, not 25.01.24

Americans would just think 25.01.24 was the Powerball numbers, wouldn't they?
Or maybe something to do with the weekend's Conference Games.

I can’t believe people say a GMT is not needed as it’s easy to add or subtract a few hours to work out the time in a different part of the world. It’s not like this is the only reason to own a GMT. a GMT watch will actually save you money as well. Here’s how.

If a watch stops you don’t know if it’s stopped at AM or PM. This means you have to wind the hands past 12 o’clock and see if the date changes before setting the watch. With a GMT you already know this so can save time setting the watch.

If we assume that if you didn’t know if it was AM or PM when your watch stopped, it can mean having to wind a watch on for another 12 hours before setting. Which could take an extra minute every time.

Now a quick google shows the median wage in the UK now is £17.48. That minute extra setting your watch will cost you 29p every time!!!!!

The difference in price between a standard Sealander and the GMT version is currently £220. Which at 29p would equal 758 settings of the watch.

Of course you won’t be so unlucky as to get the AM PM setting wrong every time. Statistically you would be right 50% of the time. So that would be 1517 settings to offset the £220 price difference between the GMT and non GMT watch.

If you set your watch once a week it will take you 29 years to break even and if you keep it for 30 years it would actually save you money to own the GMT.

This is before you take inflation into account as each year the 29p saving would go up in line with the average wage. In reality you would pay the £220 difference back much sooner.

I know we come here for watch talk and not sensible financial advice but when revelations like this show up it’s hard not to take note.

Bring on the GMT I say and we can all start saving money……
