After much paranoid nagging from the wife telling me not to wear my Batman on our travels, I’ve been in the market for an affordable alternative with similar dimensions at 40mm x 12mm.
Preferably automatic, steel bracelet and erring more to the sporty side. Preferably something that will make the “I told you so” sting a bit less if it does get lost or stolen.
I’m a Seiko and GS fanboy, but their sizing is just too wacky for my wrist and taste. The SSK is a bit too CHONK, and the GS SBGM247 is even more THICCCC at friggin 14.4mm
The only options I’ve been able to find so far are in the microbrand world.
Christopher Ward C63 GMT - 39mm x 11.85mm
Zelos Spearfish GMT - 40mm x 13mm
They both use the same new Sellita movement, so I assume that’s how they’re able to pull this sizing off.
I’ve got my eye on the CW. Not that I have much of a choice anyway since Zelos always sells out their drops in like 10 seconds.
Any other recommendations?
Cheers!
