White-dial GMT for the guy who likes Explorer IIs but not their price
By Dave Kowalski, Chicago ยท
Okay, that's not exactly the pitch, but you know what I mean. White "polar" dial, GMT hand, date. 39 mm, 13.06 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, sapphire, steel bracelet, 200 m. Miyota 9075 with 42 hours. $990.
The 9075 is a flyer GMT, so the local hour hand jumps on its own. Very useful if you travel.
My knock: 13 mm is chunky for 39 mm, so it'll sit tall under a cuff. And $990 is close to a grand, which is a lot for a micro brand. The Lorier Hyperion uses the same movement for $800.
But if you want a white-dial travel watch that's assembled in the U.S., this is one of very few options.
