Steinhart GMT?
Sent from my M2101K6G using Tapatalk
I've been looking for a GMT that can track three time zones for work, I haven't had any luck so far. I thought I'd ask before I gave up, bought a new Seiko 5 GMT and replace the chapter ring or a Citizen BJ7111-86L as my backup option and maybe try to track down a 24 HR Bezel insert that will fit.
There seem to be two dominant styles, one using the chapter ring and others using a 24HR dial in the centre, but all out of my price range:

Steinhart GMT?

I thought the fact that the bezel rotates gives you the third - maybe I'm wrong?

the seiko 5 has gmt in 2 hour intervals on the rehaut - so not sure what needs to change ???
Only 3? Are you some kind of lightweight?
Any gmt with a 24h rotating bezel will give you 3 time zones
12h hand
24h hand
Adjusted bezel

You're looking for an ETA-2893 - have a look down the list here and see if anything works:

I think it's used by a lot of microbrands as well, Zelos Horizons off the top of my head.
Alternatively, you could try a worldtimer? Budget is tricky but I think Tissot have one.
Any Glycine Airman.
Something like this:

Just get the Seiko. You don't need to change the chapter ring. Then pocket the change.
This one should suit. You can get it from https://www.gnomonwatches.com/produc...2?currency=GBP. Well within budget.
When I was gainfully employed I used my “true” GMT to track three office times. If the bezel only clicks 60 times you can only track whole hours but a 120 click bezel allows 1/2h increments.
Good luck with your hunt
Have you looked at the ultimate? A world timer - such as this:

Hmmm, some contradiction here. As others have said, the chapter ring / rehaut markings aren’t strictly necessary for a 3rd time zone.
There are dozens of options in the price range. Perhaps narrow down what you’re after to help with suggestions, what is it about the seiko 5 you don’t like?

Been wearing my Seiko GMT for a few days, only bought it for an upcoming holiday but think it might get a bit more wear than expected.
Paid £305 less another £20 once Amex PayPal offer pays out.

That's more like it! I'm comfortable spending £285, can I ask where you purchased it as I've only seen it for sale at £400?
I'm looking for a GMT that does have chapter ring / rehaut markings, as per my OP and for the reason Beanie pointed out earlier.
I think it's mostly the price with the Seiko, as they've got a history of releasing high and discounting. Also, quality control isn't the best, in comparison to Steinhart at the same price for example.
I don't aesthetically like the bezel insert and chapter ring but I must say the photos posted here have swayed me a lot. I think I was turned off by the orange variant.
That's a really good point regarding the 120-click bezel, I hadn't considered this.
I'll give some thought to a world timer too.
I do really like Steinhart and particularly the "Steve McQueen" GMT homage though.
If I can get one for circa £285 as per welshmatt, I think it's too much value to pass.
This ticks all the boxes, going on the list
I bought it from here but looks like it's out of stock now. A 5% code popped up which took it down to £302.

I picked this up last year for £633, but it was 40% off in the sale. Ceramic lumed bezel too.
Correct. The hands obscure the photo, but the trident gives it away.
C60 Trident Pro 600 GMT.
Ceramic and lumed bezel, swiss movement, adjustable bracelet, 600m WR and sapphire. Gets more wrist time than my subC.
Belter of a watch for the price, but the majority don’t look past the logo.
Seems like you are after an office rather than travellers GMT. If so, take a look at the CW Sealander GMT or CW Aquitaine GMT. £100 off advertised prices with ongoing voucher. 60 day free return and 60 month warranty.
