Miyota 9075 GMT

Kurono Tokyo GMT1. Great watch, no complaints.

I own the jack mason gmt in the brown colorway. It's a fantastic watch and has turned me into a huge fan of the brand. The movement functions great and, personally, I prefer the traveler's style functionality over a caller because it fits my lifestyle better.

I also own the JM GMT and the movement is solid. The flyer or caller decision really depends on your needs. I don’t travel much with small kids so a caller is probably better for my needs, but the 9075 overall is great.

I don't own one, but I'm pretty keen on the Nodus Trail Trekker and the Traska Venturer. I haven't decided which one yet, but both seem like great watches.

I'm pretty boring when it comes to watch styles so I'm leaning towards the Traska.

To owners of 9075... is the rotor loud? That was my experience when I had a watch with 9015.

Not that I’ve noticed. Bi-directional winding so not a lot of wobble either. Tight winding, overall pretty good.

In any normal scenario where there is other room noise happening, I've never noticed hearing any sound, but if I'm in an abnormally quiet room, I can hear it a bit if I really get the rotor spinning.

I'd assume it would also depend on the build of the watch. Some are probably more noticeable than others.

I recently got a Zelos Mako GMT with the 9075. I like the design, but a caller GMT is more practical for me.

I built a caller GMT with the NH34. I just rotate the bezel when I cross time zones, it's easier than worrying about the hour hand and you can keep your home time.

After handling all 3 along with others, I truly think the stratotimer is miles ahead in quality. It's definitely one of the nicer 9075s of the ones out there. The Lorier and traska are nice, but you can feel the quality difference when handling all 3.

Good to know. And it’s a little more expensive so perhaps it went into the fit and finish to bring it up a little bit by comparison.

I have the Lorier Hydra Zulu. Love the watch, lume is super cool and unique (lume plots look like they are floating on the dial). The movement is much quieter than previous Miyotas I’ve had so it’s more enjoyable to wear. That being said I prefer callers. The functionality of a flyer is great for that 2 minute window when you land in a new time zone…but even with that, the lack of quick set date is really annoying and if you just want to track another time zone when at home then you have to set two different hands- first the gmt (that spins your hour hand) to get to the time zone you want to track, then the jumping hour to get back to your local time. I think flyer GMTs are pretty overhyped by the industry because of the Rolex lore and the idea that you are a jet setting pilot traveling the world in different time zones every day. Maybe the watch media is also biased since they seem to be traveling to Geneva every 2 weeks. In my opinion, just spend the extra minute it takes to spin the hour and minute hands all the way around to your new local time. 🤷‍♂️

I’ve owned a couple with that movement and currently waiting on an RZE that should be coming in June but generally I prefer callers. These are the ones I’ve currently got all callers.

That would be my guess as well. Good luck on your decision!

Love my Lorier Hydra SIII. Rotor noise is minimal. Winding feel is satisfying enough. Power reserve meets my needs. Color-matched date wheel. Regulated by Lorier to ~+4s/d. I have no issues with arcrylic crystal, I think the watch is beautiful. I love the looks, the functionality of a dive bezel (I know, not a true “GMT” watch), the size, the quality and relative anonymity when traveling. Makes for a perfect travel watch for me.

Here’s my take on flyer/caller: I work across international borders. I work from home but frequently travel for work. At home, absolutely no need for a flyer gmt, a caller would do the job just fine. But! The time zones I am tracking don’t change each day. So, if I use my flyer as a caller, it’s not a problem. I’m not having to set the watch often. I set it once and forget it.

When traveling, I am moving between time zones sometimes multiple times per day for up to a week at a time. And that’s where I love the flyer function.

So for me, the flyer reigns supreme for my use case. It can help me track multiple time zones from home and I don’t need to change it very often. When I travel, and I do need to adjust my local hour hand often, it’s super easy to do.

But of course, I have a problem like the rest of you, so I have a separate caller gmt watch for working from home 🤣 oh well.

I'm a big fan of my Traska GMT, so much I bought it twice!

Great note! Thank you for the insights! Really appreciate it!

Nice watches! Thank you for weighing in!

Thank you! Love the Lorier too!

Nice 2X!

My Lorier Hyperion II is beautiful, accurate and functionally perfect. I do fly for a living so the flyer GMT is important

I have the Mothership's version of the 9075, the 9054 in the Citizen Series 8 GMT. It's a very nice quality watch. It feels substantial on the wrist and keeps great time with a good power reserve (about 8 hours longer than the 9075). The traveler GMT function has been very useful when flying.

Ok you win best flex pic!

To me a flyer GMT is infinitely more useful than a caller. Not only do you get the utility of getting to jump the hour hand, but you also still have the benefits of a caller (if it has a bezel). If your watch has a rotating bezel, just rotate the bezel and boom you’re calling.

It blows my mind how many people own GMT’s and won’t touch the bezel.

Thank you! Very good points!

I have a Traska Venturer that I absolutely love. Regulated well at about +5sec/d and it’s a beautiful piece. Haven’t personally used a caller GMT, but really loving the flyer movement with my travels.

There’s a couple of new 9075 pieces on the horizon from Nodus and Astor+Banks that’s I’ll be keeping my eye on 👀.

I don’t, but have a few on my list, including the strat-o-timer and the upcoming contrail III.

In regards to caller vs traveller, a caller suits my life better, as I travel very little, but the overall aesthetics and quality of the watch will determine whether I purchase one, not the type of gmt movement.

Good call !

Jack Masons are solid choices with that movement.

Good to know; thank you for your insight!
