Bro how do you calculate minutes since the 2nd time which I want to calculate is 10 hours 30 minutes before my local time. Which means I can glance at my watch tell you the hour but for minutes I have to calculate.
For those thinking you can just use the regular hand... The GMT hand does 1 rotation every 24 hours, as opposed to every 12, as the regular hand does. The bezel is meant to be used with the GMT hand.
Thanks, very simple to understand. Planning to hopefully buy myself a GMT Mii once I acquire 1500 hours in the air. For now gonna get myself a Seiko GMT to start off my collection
So you have to know how much hours the other country is further or earlier in time...so if you add or substract that amount of hours to the real time on the watch you have the same ?????
Yeah I agree, idk why people get GMT watches because it's kinda useless considering that fact. GMT's look really cool but in order to set the GMT hand you have to know how many hours the difference is between the two time zones so why not just do simple math
@@7khon731 Ok so with a GMT watch you have to look it up once, set your watch, and then not remember it for however long you need it on the watch. Much less of a hassle than remembering the time difference and constantly calculating it in your head instead of just looking at your wrist. This may not be very useful when it's LA to NY and only 3 hours but if you are in Hongkong and you live in NY it is annoying to constantly have to calculate those 13 hours every time you look at your watch, especially if you are tired or drunk.
Appreciate you explaining how to use a GMT watch. I have a watch with a 24 hours rotating dial but I did not have a 24 hour hand on the dial. The 24 hours hand is on a sub-dial. I guess my watch is not a GMT watch, but it looks nice.
Very good & useful video. Thanks! I'm a Rolex guy myself and now considering adding a GMT Master II to my collection after seeing the new "Pepsi" model which was unveiled at Basel World 2018. Your video makes understanding how the GMT bezel works perfectly clear.
Thanks for the simple and clear explanation! I've recently gotten into watch collecting and so far I have accrued a few Casio's, a Seiko 5KX and a couple cheap quartz watches given to me by family members. I am considering a GMT but there seems to be SO many options out there. What would you recommend as a good starter?
You can do this with every rotable bezel, just turn the top indicator the hours plus or minus depending what timezone you want and then you read your standard hour from your new "12 hour marker". I use this on my watch, which hasnt a gmt bezel, regularly to know when sporting events start.
Unfortunately this is incorrect. The watch was designed in collaboration with Pan American World Airways to allow their pilots to reference GMT at a glance. It would be fruitless to always have to adjust your bezel or have the GMT hand reading the same as the local... To correctly set GMT under the 4th GMT reference hand, unscrew the crown and pull it out to the full 3rd position. Move the 4th (GMT) and minute hands sufficiently to set the “GMT” and minutes correctly. Then reset the crown to the second position and set the regular hour hand to the local hour and date. You are now accurately displaying GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) for instant aviation or maritime reference. Should you wish to display an additional 3rd time zone you can rotate the bezel as shown in this video. Most owners of a GMT referenced watch who do not have the daily need for “GMT” will set the 4th GMT hand to their home time zone for familiarity and comfort. This can be done in the same way as above by using the 3rd crown position to set the 4th and minute hands. The only single adjustment required on subsequent trips is to independently move the local hour hand and date to the destination time zone using the second crown position. There should be little to no need to adjust the bezel unless a third time zone reference is required.
The watch used in the demonstration is a vintage GMT master. It does not have an independent hour hand. That innovation came later with the GMT master II. The bezel can be set to any second time zone, including GMT, so it was still very practical for pilots, even before the independent hour hand.
John, definitely going to do some fragrance reviews in the future. The first one will be Creed's new Viking scent, which is awesome, by the way. A great follow up to Aventus.
I thought you were supposed to set the GMT hand to GMT time and then use the bezel to localize. Like that's why it is called a GMT hand... So if your time zone target is GMT - 7 etc it is real easy to set.
I thought the same thing. Set the GMT hand to the new time zone, or leave the GMT in the time zone you traveled from and reset the hour hand to local time. Then you can use the 24 hour bezel to track a 3rd time zone.
That's how you set it on a modern GMT watch (eg. Rolex GMT-Master II). But on the older models, the hour and GMT hands are permanently linked, so it can only display the 24-hour version of whatever your regular time is set to, as seen in this video.
This sounds useful for those who work on internet infrastructure like myself (servers and such). Everything is in UTC (aka gmt, aka zulu time) and it's a pain having to look it up or do the math in your head.
It's meant for people that travel across timezones a lot. It saves the hassle of moving the time back and forth between trips. I wouldn't say it's geared towards someone that is trying to make heads or tails of more than two time zones at once. You set it once for your trip to your destination and that's it.
Nice job of explaining, even I understand now! Just don't know why you'd overlap minute and hour hand. When the video started I thought the watch was broken.
Bro how do you calculate minutes since the 2nd time which I want to calculate is 10 hours 30 minutes before my local time. Which means I can glance at my watch tell you the hour but for minutes I have to calculate.
So, in this case the GMT hands follows local time, right? meaning by that that you can not move it independently... as you set the local time that hand will go with it. Is that right?
Wait...couldn't you just set the GMT hand to the other timezone without the bezel? Like for Milan, just set the GMT hand to 9 on the dial? Or does it not move independently of the hour hand?
So i need to know how many hours ahead or behind the other place is and then watch will tell me what i Already know? If you already know milan is 6 hrs ahead and you need to input that? I'm sorry i don't understand
Bro how do you calculate minutes since the 2nd time which I want to calculate is 10 hours 30 minutes before my local time. Which means I can glance at my watch tell you the hour but for minutes I have to calculate.
The GMT hand is just that....set to GMT time....it should never change from GMT.....you move the bezel to your current time zone + or - GMT, then leave the normal hands alone as "Home Time" my time zone is GMT+10....so if you are visiting ..... just advance bezel 10 hours...bingo bango
No, doesn't work that way. Can only advance forward. Many modern watches have a quickset date function, but not this one. It's a reference 1675 and if you want to advance the date, you've got to take the time to wind and wind and wind. If the watch has stopped for a couple weeks, it can be somewhat time consuming, which is why I've started keeping this one on a watch winder.
Thanks for your help !! Yea i always change the date by moving it clockwise, because i wasn’t sure it could be done. Now I’m sure i cant move the hands backwards !! Thank you for your help
It's easier to use a GMT as a compass rather than a non-GMT. You never know when that might come in handy. Currently (June 2024) there have been 2 people lost in California and Tenerife respectively.
Wow. I have been using my GMT watch incorrectly for decades. I had the bezel with 0 hours in the 12 o'clock position with the GMT hand set to the desired time zone.
On new models, yes, that's possible because you can set the GMT hand independent of the hour and minute hands AND use the bezel. However, with the watch in the this video--the Rolex 1675--the GMT hand is not independent of the hour and minute hands, which is why learning to use the bezel is important. Good question.
That's not exactly what the watch was designed for. The GMT hand is to always stay at the hour of your home time zone. The hour hand should be changed accordingly to the hour of the time zone you've traveled to, that way, you can always tell what time it is back home by looking at the GMT hand. By following this, you can then rotate the bezel to see what the time is in other time zones as needed.
Why do you need a third hand pointing always at GMT and then move the bezel to offset that? Can't you just offset using the bezel directly using the hour hand?
Yes you can. In this case it's similar to a smartphone in that you set the information for once then you don't need to think or do any computations , just look and see the time. Remember back in the 80's when you could recall 15-20 people's phone numbers from memory?
@@pattgsm Thanks for the reply. So if you can do that with a rotating bezel and an hour and a minute hand, why do you need the third hand pointing always at GMT?
I’m not sure that would work. The hour hand rotates every twelve hours, rather than every twenty four hours. There are twelve hour bezels, and a timing bezel can kind of double as one, but you still have to do am/pm in your head.
You "know" its six hours different time zone so now you turn the bezel and look at the red hand.....OR i could just read my local time and as i "know" its six hours , just add six hours to my local time. just give me a watch with a bezel with cities/placenames. Or do you know every place in every timezone ?
This is actually not how you use a GMT watch. You set the hour/minute hands for your local time and you set the GMT hand for - no surprise here - Greenwich Mean Time, and then you turn the bezel to the desired time zone. For example, if you wanted to know the time in Los Angeles you rotate the bezel to -07, if you wanted to know the time in Tokyo you rotate the bezel to +09, etc. Then you can actually glean three times from the watch, your local time, GMT and the desired other time zone.
You are partially incorrect. You could set *some* GMTs in the manner you suggest, but only pieces with a GMT hand that can be set independently of the hour and minute hands. Not all GMTs, especially vintage pieces, allow you to do this. For example, the watch in the video is a 1675 from 1977 and the GMT hand cannot be set independently--its movement is connected to the hour and minute hands. So the bezel was the *original* way to tell two time zones. GMT watches that have a GMT hand that can be set independently actually give you the ability to tell time in *three* time zones. Those who've not used a vintage GMT function often make this mistake.
I am a pilot, and this watch was designed for pilots. I have my GMT hand on GMT, because for me, it is important to know GMT time at a glance. I have a 2009 116710LN GMT Master II. You don't have to set it this way, if you don't want to, but this is what this watch was designed for ;-)
Echo other comments here, you explained it perfectly. Not entirley sure what the other muppets were explaining, was begining to think this watch was for NASA staff only.
The point of a GMT is to tell the time in the country/time zone you are visiting, and your home time, at a glance without having to calculate it every time you look at your watch.
if you already know the time offset from the current city, why not just do simple math? I thought GMT is for if you have no idea about the time difference.
to be honest i just looked through a dozen similar videos to learn how to use GMT function, and yours was the easiest to understand. Thanks!
Great to hear!

I don’t understand the bezel rotating both directions. Isn’t this in conflict with diving capability ?
It is a conflict for diving. This is a GMT watch, not a dive watch. Different number scale on a dive watch, not a 24 hour scale.
how do you read 30 min intervals?
Neat!
cheers.
How is it possible for what should be a unidirectional Rolex bezel to turn both ways?!
It's a GMT not a dive watch.
Wow. I have been using my GMT watch incorrectly for decades. I had the bezel with 0 hours in the 12 o'clock position with the GMT hand set to the desired time zone.

What to do if time difference is 2 30 hrs
Thank you. I still have no idea how to read it but that's just my fault😂
if u know the hours difference don't u just need to add or substract number to know thier time?
You must not be a watch guy!
If you know how many hours the city u wanna know the time is is away... then it kinda feels useless to have a gmt bezel...
The point of a GMT is to tell the time in the country/time zone you are visiting, and your home time, at a glance without having to calculate it every time you look at your watch.
@@TheBrutalDeluxe is not like it's hard...
So if you already know LA is six hours in front why don't you just add 6 hours to your current time ?
Yeah, but you must know what is the time shift in that city you are looking for...
You are correct.
Just put two watches for different time zones on your cellphone screen. Done!
Yep, but you totally miss the joy of having a piece of art and craftmanship on your wrist.
Why don't you use a smart phone for GMT
SMH
I have a GMT but I just never use the function tbh
if you already know the time offset from the current city, why not just do simple math? I thought GMT is for if you have no idea about the time difference.
It’s so much more confusing since it’s 3:15
extremely. you couldnt tell there was 3 hands.
