This new SSK GMT series hit us like a freight train in the night, as if some strange horological wish was heard and made true by the watch gods. For all intents and purposes, this watch is the GMT version of the SKX, bringing a toolish, affordable charm to a travel-watch format that so desperately craves it. For everyone who correctly differentiates the Seiko 5 divers from the SKX, this GMT actually feels like the proper heir. And that’s because a GMT watch need not be ISO-certified, and it should have that extra bit of cosmopolitan aesthetic feel because its a travel watch, one destined for the skies and every new adventure ahead of us.
