Boeing Model 247 Ti GMT

[jwalker9]

Lovely! It seems the bezel has been updated to grey from black? I like that!

Although I would still prefer the date window somewhere else, especially now that it sticks so close to the bottom subdial.

Also, timing bezel on a chrono seems a bit redundant... Perhaps a countdown bezel or compass... or even moving the GMT markers to the rotating bezel (GMT Master II) to further clean up the dial lol.

Buried in the press release, it mentions that the bezel on these Titanium GMT models are actually CERAMIC instead of sapphire! This marks the first time Bremont has used Ceramic!

Here's a snap off how different it looks, on the Model 247 versions.

A point worth noting with this is that when the 247 GMT is released, it will be slightly thinner that it presently is. Personally, I think that'll add to the wearability of the piece. The rotor may also change design to a slightly different style (I saw it today, it's lovely!)

Ah... thanks for the clarification, Jeremy. Can't wait to check it out at the boutique!

All of that is very exciting news. Thanks!!

After my somewhat brief but ultimately unsatisfying flirtation with the Terra Nova, this could tempt me back to the fold.

I had initially ordered a 247 but the more I looked at it, the more I could see that the second hand almost lined up with the M in the Bremont name, making it look a little crooked to my eyes. Now they're moved the name to the side, this won't be an issue.

Hadn't seen a picture with the titanium bracelet posted anywhere on the net, so I thought folks might care to see it. (Sorry for the lousy photography.)

IMO, the Seattle strap looks nice, the the Ti bracelet takes it to another level.

The looks a lot heavier than it probably is - it is, indeed, the first time that I've seen it on the Ti bracelet. Thanks for sharing!

With just the Seattle strap, the 247 TI-GMT is practically weightless; were it not for the scratchiness of the strap itself (looks great, but rough inner texture) you might forget you were wearing it. With the Ti bracelet, it does add weight, comparable to a Bremont Alt1/ZT (the other watch I'd been considering) with a leather strap.

I am starting my savings fund for it now.

Unsatisfying? I'm thinking on a TN
Am I missing something?
