The GMT I'd tell my cousin to buy
By Rafael Ortiz, Mexico City ยท
Let me explain flyer and caller in one paragraph, because it matters here. On a flyer GMT, like a Rolex or a Tudor, you jump the local hour hand when you land, and the GMT hand stays on home time. On a caller (sometimes called an office GMT), the 24-hour hand is the one you move independently, which is great if you sit at a desk and call Tokyo but less convenient if you're the one flying to Tokyo. The Sellita SW330-2 in this Sealander is a caller.
For travelers it's a small annoyance. You set local time with the main hands and pull the GMT hand to home. A few extra seconds at the gate, no big deal.
Everything else is spot on. At 39 mm wide and 11.4 mm thick, it fits nearly any wrist and slides under a shirt cuff. 150 meters of water resistance, 56 hours of reserve, an open caseback, and a steel bracelet. It's comfortable and well made.
The price is 1,300 to 1,450 dollars. If you're new to GMTs and want one watch for travel, work and the beach, this is where I'd start. If you fly for a living, save up for a flyer.
