If you weren't worried about theft what is your dream travel the world, go hiking, be on the water in the snow and occasionally turn up for a decent dinner watch?

I think the Tudor Black Bay line fits the bill pretty well. I’m considering a BB54 - really like the vintage feel the 37mm diameter gives it.

My BB GMT has been in most of these scenarios, still chugging along

Rolex Explorer 114270

Tudor BlackBay 54 or Rolex Explorer 124270 would do it for me. Both can take a beating, will actually look good (improved?) with some battle scars, and they’ll be pretty easy to “kinda get away with when wearing sport watch with a suit”, which I’m personally not a fan of as I’m not James Bond.

Maybe a Weiss manual wind? I’d prefer a date but it was the first thing that came to my head

[–] giraffees4justice@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I feel like I’d want a date and potentially a GMT function, but finding those in a rugged case isn’t trivial

Probably one of the old Blancpain Leman Alarm GMTs. Track your home time, got an alarm. Good to go.

Pepsi GMT Master II for me. Tough enough, handsome enough, GMT function, etc.

I'm probably a bit basic here but I really like the Rolex Air King, Milgauss and explorer GMT, so probably one of those, else a Hamilton field watch.
