What complications like GMT, I must say that the name for this one is just silly. "Ball Engineer petroleum hydrocarbon magnate GMT". Four nouns more GMT suffix?
That said, the clock itself is pretty nice looking. Not the passionate dei Ciclopi Rolex-style on date, although some quite as li [ed. note. You get some hands-on pictures that I took with look here. I believe that the Crystal of Magnifier is actually reverse mounted (inside the Crystal) to not stick out of the Crystal]. The steady rest is less useful than a rotation, but from the other side is filled with Luminescent paint for a fresh look into darkness. The textured and detailed quadrant has good balance and reaches the look not too-busy a clock Sunday best.The hand of GMT lurks in dark green background behind the signature Visual, second hand with counterweight logo Ball polished hours and minutes. overall a good looking clock, gazing groupage Ball produces.
The bracelet is a variant on Oyster classic, with triple deployant and extending the diver stainless steel.[Ed. note.Instead of the three that design, and design of two links that is a nice alternative. Ball spruces up the look of the bracelet significantly by adding bevel polished edges link. This is always a good idea.]
The specs are pretty good:
Movement ETA 2893-2, COSC-certified chronometer7, 500 G shock resistance4, 800 A/m on magnetism resistanceWater 100mAnti resistant anti-reflective Sapphire-coated crystal40mm entire 12.1 mm thick-ben sizedAvailable with ankle bracelet or rubber, with numbers of black or silver dialBezel are made with luminous paint (not tritium, obviously) tritium tube on the hands (including hand GMT) and connection.Is a nice looking clock, and I would that they not be widened.40 mm is a perfect size for a versatile design dress/sports looks like this, and a thickness of 12 mm will scroll under most shirt cuffs.
Ball has been a consistent leader in automatic movements more tubes tritium [ed. note. Ball legally in the United States (Yes, legally), has the right to have brighter tritium gas pipes than anyone now], and I really like the big combination. GMT is for travellers or, more commonly, if you need Skype that its Back in the old country and can't remember a time zone offset.
List price is $ 2900, although I expect that you would find discounts if you search around. General a classic look and a good choice for someone who has just a nice watch.
