Did They Nail the Best GMT Again? Jack Mason’s Stratotimer II
The Strat-o-timer GMT, powered by the Miyota 9075 automatic GMT movement, it introduces a new generation of GMTs with a convenient jumping local hour hand. Its bezel is adorned with a ceramic insert featuring Superluminova markings. With the goal of becoming a legacy brand in Texas, the Jack Mason’s Strat-o-timer is one of the best value GMT watches I reviewed last year. Now they have released version II. Have they improved it or should they have left it alone?

    You've said in this video a few times that you wanted to get the quartz version of a grand Seiko. You can't get away from the fact that a spring drive at its heart is a quartz. Seiko spring drives are very expensive quartz watches. I liked your video though. 👍👍👍👍

    • @CasualWatchReviews
      @CasualWatchReviews День назад

      This is interesting, not to defend Grand Seiko here. The quartz part is only used to alter the regulation of the balance wheel, it doesn’t power the watch like a traditional quartz watch. The heart is still an automatic watch.

      They let me keep the green one to add to my own collection. I used the 'paid product promotion' tag at the start of the video. No actual money exchanged hands and in truth I was going to send them all back. But the green is amazing in person so I took them up on the offer of keeping one. I don't do that with all my Jack mason review because they are a smaller watch brand and I like them so usually dont ask for watches.

    Regarding the LEs: just because they don't sell out fast doesn't mean it's not profitable. Regarding the insurance, Chubb is the actual insurer, it's just Hodinkee branded. So it's probably almost no cost to them, and who knows what their cut is. But broadly I could see branded services making money. I have no idea how scalable that is.

    • @CasualWatchReviews
      @CasualWatchReviews 2 дня назад

      This is an interesting comment. Why do you think they are two completely different companies? They made grand seiko a separate devision with its own CEO but they are not separate... and certainly not 'completely' different. There are multiple Seiko branded watch lines that use GS movements.

  • @markwheeler4417
    @markwheeler4417 2 дня назад

    A worthy competitor to the Christopher Ward C60 300 GMTs. The Jack Mason design is a bit clumsier in my opinion but it has the traveller GMT function which some prefer even though they are a pain to set. That orange GMT on the green version has a very familiar colour. That orange cream-sicle colour gets everywhere and is a bit wishy washy. I'd prefer a red GMT hand and a line of red text on the silver dial too.

  • @Number_006
    @Number_006 2 дня назад

    Interesting conversation. I think HODINKEE alienated their core audience when they shifted to mostly extremely high end watches with a clear intent to become a brand ambassador rather than provide any watch journalism. It felt like a pure cash grab. The only way they may be able to save it is for Ben to be much more upfront about the mistakes made, a genuine heart felt mea culpa. Then follow this up with great content, interviews with popular people in the watch space and not just luxury brand CEOs.

    I just received their Strat-o-timer USA limited edition. It does have the silver indices and hands against that silvery white dial, so the hands can get lost a little in certain light. It is a design choice in this instance though. The lume is absolutely fantastic. Even 40 minutes later when I was walking my dog at night it was very very legible. The bracelet is fantastic, and I love the tropic strap (plus quick release for all of them). The Texas star/Jack Mason logo that latches into the end keeper just goes to show how much thought went into the watch. I hate when my keepers either go to far or move back toward the clasp too much. Not having to adjust that throughout the day is a relief. The watch is also very comfortable on wrist, as mentioned. I think the only criticism I could muster is the hands could be a touch wider (great lume though), and possibly either a different lume color or slight design difference on the 12 o'clock marker for quicker orientation at a glance. That's being nitpicky when they get so much right that others miss.
