SKU Code: GMT/SS/B/QZ

This stainless-steel GMT dual time zone watch is one of our latest models and is powered by the high-performance Ronda 515.24 quartz GMT movement. It features an anti-reflective, impact-resistant sapphire crystal, a scratch-resistant ceramic bezel, and a robust 300m / 1000ft water-resistant steel case.

The watch is perfectly suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and general water sports. While the water resistance itself is more than adequate for diving, it’s worth noting that—as a GMT watch—the bezel is designed for tracking a second time zone rather than dive timing, so its functionality is more limited for that specific purpose.

GMT Function Explained

The appeal of a GMT watch lies not in complexity, but in its elegant simplicity. On a conventional watch, the hour hand completes one full rotation every 12 hours. A GMT watch adds a second hour hand that completes just one rotation every 24 hours.

A corresponding 24-hour scale—usually on the bezel—allows the wearer to read a second time zone at a glance. Because the GMT hand operates on a true 24-hour cycle, there is no ambiguity between a.m. and p.m., making it exceptionally intuitive and easy to use. This is also why GMT watches can, at first glance, resemble diver’s watches.

Designed for Aviation & Long-Range Travel

These watches were originally developed for long-haul airline pilots and military transport aircrew, including those flying aircraft such as the C-130 Hercules and Airbus A400M. The GMT function allows pilots to instantly reference both departure and destination time zones—an essential requirement for long-range operations.

Why Sapphire Crystal?

We’re often asked why sapphire crystal is superior to standard mineral glass. Simply put, synthetic sapphire is the strongest and most scratch-resistant material available for watch crystals.

From our experience, over 90% of cracked crystals we encounter—even with hardened mineral glass—are mineral rather than sapphire. Sapphire crystals are exceptionally durable because they are heat-treated to remove internal stresses, then finished with dual anti-reflective coatings for clarity and strength.

These characteristics make sapphire especially popular with military personnel, security professionals, police officers, and those with active outdoor lifestyles—groups that account for over 70% of our customer base. It’s no coincidence that sapphire crystal is now also used on the latest iPhone models.

Sapphire does come at a higher cost, which is why it’s typically reserved for higher-end watches—but in demanding environments, the durability more than justifies it.

A nice durable non flashy field watch.
Color: Olive/Gunmetal, Color: Olive/Gunmetal
A nice looking, none flashy field watch. At 41mm it’s not too big and not too small. The sapphire crystal is a big plus on scratch resistance; and the screw in crown is a nice addition as well. If you’re looking for a low key, reliable solar powered field watch that is both comfortable, affordable and has durability built into it, this one will be hard to beat.

Keeps lousy time
Color: Silver-Tone/Black
I purchased this watch off Amazon Warehouse well below MSRP out of curiosity to see what Timex is doing in 2024. The specs are good - bead blasted stainless case, solar movement with quick set date and hacking, sapphire crystal, screwdown crown and 100m water resistance. The movement is Japanese, case and bracelet are made in China, and the watch is assembled somewhere overseas. The good - the watch is lightweight and comfortable on the wrist. Price, even at full MSRP makes this an extremely good value for what you get. It is a good looking Flieger style watch. Once fully charged it is keeping good time. Case finish is well executed and without rough or sharp edges. The bad - the lume is weak. When blasted with UV, it fades quickly and within 5 minutes it’s gone. The bracelet is low end, but expected at this price point. I swapped it out with a nice leather strap from my collection with better quality spring bars and it makes the watch look and feel higher end. The Ugly - the second hand misses nearly all the chapter ring marks. The minute and hour hands are aligned, but that second hand seems to have a mind of its own. On my watch it lines up with chapter ring marks maybe 10% of the time, but it’s not consistent. Sum up, for a sub $200 watch the specs are great and it’s a good looking comfortable watch. Just keep your expectations aligned with what you are paying for. It compares favorably to Orients & Citizens at this price, and offers better value than comparable competitors now that Seiko has gone upmarket. I like this watch. Just don’t compare it to a Swiss watch costing several times its price. Update after a few months: I’m changing my rating to 3 stars. This watch keeps lousy time! It is loosing around 5 minutes per month. And it is fully charged. I have other Solar quartz watches from Citizen, Seiko and Vaer which maintain very good accuracy. But this Timex … defeats the purpose of a solar powered “grab and go” watch when you have to correct the time each occurrence you want to wear it.

Great Watch with Great Sapphire Crystal
Color: Olive/Gunmetal
Waited 2.5 years before reviewing. I love the gunmetal grey case, olive dial, and the exceptional sapphire crystal. The watch is still running great. During cold weather when wearing long sleeves, I make sure I charge the watch monthly by placing it under a table lamp for many hours because it died once due to no daylight charging. One problem is being able to see the minute markings. (The same watch with blue dial is much easier to read.) I also replaced the military-style band immediately with the excellent Archer 20mm Olive band (ARC-QRN-OLV20) and Archer 20mm Matte Gunmetal buckle ( ARC-BKL-GRYM20). I am only allowed to review once for this Timex model, so adding comments about the "Blue" version (TW2V03600JR). The blue version is the same watch but easier to view. It looks GREAT with the Archer 20mm Navy Blue band (ARC-QRN-NVY20).

I design flaw caused me to return it.
Color: Brown/Blue
Pros: - Perfect case size. - Sapphire crystal. - Solar powered quartz. - Large dial face - Minute and second hands reach to minute track for precise reading. - Great field watch design and proportions. - Effective lume on hands. Cons: - Lume on small triangular hour markers is useless, and fades quickly. - The hour numbers are not luminous. - The dull peach color chosen for the hour markers, numbers and hands in dim lighting is very dull and thus hard to read. - The dark blue color chosen for the dial is a dull hue that doesn’t really look blue, but just reduces the contrast between text and markers. - A black dial and bright white markers and numbers would make the watch much more legible/ readable, and would look much better aesthetically. It is a shame that these choices were made on an otherwise perfect design. - I was really excited that Timex finally seemed to get it when they came out with this series of models, but then they handicapped it with a dial that is only useable in bright light. What a shame. I am returning the watch.
