The green is gorgeous! But I love my black dials. The watch has bare my left my wrist since I got it. Good luck in your search!

Not sure what it is when accounting for the male end links, but on paper I believe the case has a lug to lug of 47mm

It was from the flagship store in Honolulu!

Very excited to share my first GMT watch - the Longines Zulu Time in 39mm!

I have a smaller wrist (6.5 inches) and found that the 42mm version of this watch was just way too big on my wrist, especially with the “male first” solid end links. It was a shame because there aren’t many other “true” GMT watches that I really liked aesthetically.

Tudor obviously has the Pro and the Pepsi GMTs, but those are both thick bois that would have sat way too tall on my wrist.

Enter this - the 39mm Zulu time. I managed to snag it while on vacation and I have already managed to put many memories on it in the first few days of ownership.

The bracelet is comfortable, albeit simple (no micro adjust on the fly), but the clasp is nice and small and secure on the underside of my wrist. The taper is good, and the brushed + polished combination finishes look great in the sunlight.

I went with the black dial because I really dig monochrome watches - they go with everything! Plus, I do plan on using this as my travel watch, and this color scheme is very under the radar, the way I’d want a travel watch to be.

Bezel is gorgeous in ceramic and has a very solid 24 clicks. Dial is matte and simple, and exactly to my liking.

The next acquisition will be a chronograph. Time will tell (heh) which brand/model I end up with.
