Often compared to the Omega Seamaster 'Great White' GMT but there are subtle differences including:

  • Case Brushing
  • Dial thickness - the Great White dial is much thicker and not interchangeable
  • Bezels are not interchangeable with 50th Anniversary

Summary

Often compared with the Omega Seamaster 'Great White' GMT version. There are subtle differences in the models. The 50th anniversay model version has an amazing nightime glow from the extensive areas of luminova applied to dial and hands.

Note there is also a solid gold 18k cased blue dial GMT version with rubber strap - ref 2634.80.93 which is very rare.
