We’ve talked about affordable GMT watches before but this week, we explore the history of the complication and discuss its utility. From the earliest GMT watches to today’s modern quartz icons, this episode will give you a fun run-down of these timepieces and how they relate to aviation history in general.
Mike also treats the audience to a very special wrist check and he’s happy to say, the Glycine Airman is finally in the collection. It’s one heck of a watch that is largely forgotten and plays a major role in the evolution of pilot’s watches.
So kick back, tune in, and enjoy the show. This one is packed with history and you have anything to add, don’t forget to comment on this post!
Show Notes
Glycine Airman by André Stikkers
I am looking at getting a GMT / World Time watch within the next year. Funny thing is, the one that is at the top of my list right now is the Mido Multifort GMT (the 80th anniversary one to be specific) which is a brand I would have not considered (and knew nothing about) until I listened to Episode #77 “Watch Brands we know nothing about: Mido” 🙂
