Jack Mason's Strat-o-Timer GMT Is Impossible to Ignore Now
The Jack Mason Strat-o-Timer Titanium Diver GMT revitalizes a well-regarded affordable GMT watch by incorporating a lightweight titanium case and bracelet, along with a redesigned dial. Maintaining its original 40mm shape, the watch features a brushed finish that complements the muted titanium tone. A significant design change is the replacement of the ceramic bezel’s 24-hour GMT scale with a 60-minute dive timer, and the new GMT hand has been partially skeletonized, giving it a unique appearance. The circular, frameless date window adds a clean touch to the dial layout. Mechanically, the watch retains the reliable Miyota caliber 9075 movement, allowing for easy adjustments to the local hour hand without affecting the minute or GMT track. With a price point of $1,399, just $250 more than the standard steel version, the watch offers excellent value considering its full titanium construction and additional strap. Initially available in a striking cobalt blue, the watch's appeal is likely to attract attention from enthusiasts and newcomers alike, making it hard to overlook.
