The Sellita SW330-2 movement powers the watch, functioning as an office GMT with the date positioned at 6 o'clock for visual balance. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Christopher Ward C65 Aquitaine GMT highly for its exceptional design and robust vintage-inspired aesthetic at its price point.

Pagani Design PD-1693 GMT
