📖 My Take On The Watch

Why I Love the Rangemaster II GMT

My admiration for this watch goes back to a childhood memory. At 12, I spotted a Rolex Explorer II, and it sparked my passion for field, GMT watches. The Rangemaster II GMT captures that same adventurous spirit with its bold design and functionality.

You Need To Grab It, NOW

I love the rugged 43mm case and the striking dial options that echo the classic style of my youth. The GMT complication is perfect for tracking multiple time zones, making it ideal for my globetrotting dreams. Plus, with 200m water resistance, it’s ready for any adventure—be it hiking or beach days.

With only 500 total pieces available, this watch feels exclusive and special. It’s not just a timepiece; it’s a connection to my watch-loving roots!

⌚️ This Watch Is For…

🥶 Chill Alert. This section is for people with a sense of humor. Reader discretion is advised. Take a chill pill and read on. If you dare…

Meet Greg

Doug’s idea of a "quick drive" is a spontaneous road trip to wherever his GPS takes him, with the Rangemaster II GMT his trusty guide.

He’s the guy who says, “Why fly when you can drive?” This watch keeps him on track (mostly) and ready to drop a "Did you know?" fact about time zones at every rest stop.

Meet Brad

Lena travels light, even for weekend getaways to far-flung cities. She uses the Rangemaster II GMT to keep track of the time in New York, Tokyo, and her favorite coffee spot.

To Lena, the watch isn’t just a timepiece—it’s a passport to style and perfect timing (even if she still barely makes her flights).
