Hi All,

So for various reasons I really want a GMT but I also don't like watches with date windows (especially you 4:30 date!)

I would love any suggestions for watches with GMT but no date that you have ever come across - let's say budget is not a factor just to get the scope of what's out there.

Thank you for your feedback!

The whole concept of a no date GMT doesn’t make much sense at all, what with the international date line and time zones being a thing. This means your choices will be limited. I believe Montblanc made one for a while.

Not at all. My preference for a date on a GMT is for it to be slaved to the GMT indication because the GMT date as well as the time is the primary time reference in my profession. To have a date indication slaved to local time can lead to confusion when interpreting documentation for example. So in the absence of watches having the preferred configuration it’s better to have one without a date.

Point taken, but perhaps it comes down to one’s routine when working a trip.

Many of my past excursions had fairly long layover requirements and after years of back and forth with crew, our work schedules were ultimately published in local time/date. This resulted in a consistent application: on the ground, local time and date. Cockpit and flight plans: GMT.

Indeed that is so. My own professional lifestyle was very different and could accurately be described as routinely inconsistent - rarely the same combination of destinations twice. During multi-day, multi-sector trips on either side of the Greenwich meridian, each day ending in a time zone different to the last it would sometimes have been nice to know the GMT date at a glance without having to work it out.
