MC GMT

 

Apparently the MC GMT has recently been discontinued. I discovered this when I decided to trade my MCC2 for one. Fortunately, the local AD was able to find me one from another store. Also, the Boutique located one in Europe. If you decide on this model, act fast.

For me, the MC GMT is the perfect travel watch. As are the other variants - the MC Dualmatic and the Master Hometime - all use the same movement and operation is similar. The main hour hand indicates your local time. The skeletonized hour hand indicates your home time, as does the 24 hour dial. The date changes with the local time, not your home time. Makes sense - you want to know the correct date for your current location. It's simple to change the hour hand.

I prefer the MC GMT to the MCC2 as I find it easier to read the time. The Chrono dial is a bit busy. Also, for me, the date on the GMT is much easier to read.

I did not consider the MC Geo as I don't like the dial layout.

Hope that helps.

Hi fellow members, I have narrowed down my list of next watch to the following JLC models which I consider practical both as an office daily wearer as well as a pastime timepiece for sailing and fishing trips. Perhaps the key advice - as I am not satisfie...

The legibility of the second hand is perfect, since it refers to the secondary time zone, or the home time zone. When you travel, you change the main hour hand to your current location, so the second time zone refers to the home time zone. It changes on t...

As to answer you, I would go for the MC Geo. Because I prefer the design of the dial, the complication. And I don't bother too much with the short power reserve, as it is an automatic watch. I didn't hear that the MC Chrono with the ceramic bezel did have...

I think it's one of the nicest variants of this movement, and doesn't look as "common" as the GMT. -Dean

I start to lean more and more towards the MC Geo, although not yet having seen it in person. While not disregarding travelling benefits of the GMT, the Geo dial seems a bit more refined, yet keeping something playful to it, than the other models. If only ...

The GMT has the most useful complication and an extremely rugged and accurate movement (different base movement from the others you list). But I agree with you that it is less playful in design than the MC Geo (whose complication is not useful to me, nor ...
