Friends, Let's see your trvael watches! Here is my current travel watch (sitting at Zurich airport waiting for my flight).... GP Deep Diver at Neuchatel! HAGWE! Best Blomman...  

. . . the army . . . . . . now. You're on your way to a foreign land Now's the time to do what you can. :-) Omega ref 2179 . . . . . . produced on spec for the US Army, ca '45. ...  

Even the hands let some radium hints on the dial.... Wow! Best, Nicolas.

. . . burn! :-)

. . . for your viewing pleasure, h! ...  

. . . of various 'slash' iterations with both US Army engraving and without. Mine is a /5 without the engraving, but there are examples with the engraving, too. What I'd really like to discover are the terms of the contract signed between the US governmen... 

But I would also be interested to see any document about that! Best, my friend. Nicolas

. . . and retracting what I wrote about engravings on all slash iterations. For the /5 , at least, there's no evidence to be found of a US Army example. Art

love the "Ghost hands" on the dial! :) HAGWE Blomman

. . . many years ago, only the best examples would do; a flawed specimen like this would've been rejected. Now, I've come to appreciate character almost as much as condition. And need I say, I really, really like this watch.

Not only our watches chance by time, we do as well! :) I made the same journey, my friend. When I started, I wanted everything perfect.... Now, I could not be more happy than finding some nice patina! :) Best Blomman

Have a great weekend gents! GEO ...  

. . . waves hello from across the Pacific! ...  

Bravo Geo. Cheers Francois

Geo, you are the master of matching, not only watch and cloths, but watch and city as well! :) HAGWE Blomman

Travel Watches, by nature: And watches which travel: ;) HAGWE, Guys Nicolas ...  

and the photos, maybe except for the last one (not exactly a fan of Audi) ;)

I was expecting much more, my friend! ;) Yes, all 4 are great travel watches! HAGWE Blomman

And was extremely lucky to catch a glimpse of Pope Francis. Amazing. Beautiful place. 2 more places before Paris. I am sure I will love the cool weather. And some French wine..

Excellent travel companion too!

And you also use the GMT function... That is extra points! ;) HAGWE Blomman

One, extremely reliable, like the Omega Planet Ocean 8500 (that has the advantage of being able to move the hour hand without disturbing the time settings). This was my setup during my last overseas trip. 1) Getting ready for take off (777-200 heading to ...  

You clearly travel in style! :) HAGWE Blomman

In fact I only dress formal in weddings and similar events. That's the reason that all my watches are casual/sportive type. Cheers, Nilo

... also can be used for travel. This is the more known GMT "fried egg" Ref. 2115 with automatic buren movement. The other one was the GMT "fried egg" Ref. 812 with Valjoux 724. regards Stephan ...  

I guess its production years are late Sixties?

No message body

... the cosmonaute, when we talk about the big size Ref 1809 that also can be helpfull as a travel watch, for example when they put you in a dark jail with no sunlight for a watch toll criminal act. After a view days you are still able to see on the dial,...  

What diameter? HAGWE Blomman

... 48,x mm without crown, but more important is the mesure from lug to lug and if you look at the case with it's short lugs is nearly the same mesure there from lug to lug, so that these monsters are friendly monsters, even more as most people believe, o... 

Hope to do the "on the wrist test" one day! Best Blomman

My favorite travel companion Thank you very much WTA ...  

My usual business travel extends to 3-4 days, rarely longer. I got used to bringing 2-3 watches on a trip and selection depends on the mood and which one I need to show some love and give it fresh air. What I find useful on travelling when changing watche...  

Special mention to the WW TCn the Richeville Day and Night, and the Traveller, indeed. I need to re build a small collection of GPs! Best, Nicolas

Elephant movement in northern Thailand. We have set-up places on rivers and streams that used to be off limits to the elephants and they can now have a nice bath and snack in the hot jungle heat. If you have never ridden an elephant on a safari, I highly ... 

Thank you! Best Blomman

The Seamaster and the UN Dual Time...both for the ease of setting the time when crossing time zones and both with a good degree of water resistance just in case :-) ...  

It is so functional, and so handsome. And the big date makes it even nicer. Best, CaliforniaJed

and that it can be set both forward and backward. I especially like that both digits sit on the same plane. Richard

It looks like you and Nilo have the same travel plans...! Did you meet up?! ;) HAGWE Blomman

Goes to show that we appreciate similar things - and when watches are designed and built right, they "speak" to many of us in similar ways.

[image taken June '11] . . . is one of my personal favorites from Omega's current collection. Thanks for sharing yours, Richard. ...  

For instance, when I go to HK I change watch every day. But breakfast never changes! Bierchermusli with red berries!! Mmmm... ...  

back Sanro Great IWC as well Best Damjan

Jummy! :) Great start of each day! HAGWE Blomman

and some really beautiful watches on the side. Thanks Sanro!

I know it is sacrilege, but if I had to sacrifice the watches or the berries... I think I would sacrifice the watches... At least at that time of the morning!

Too bad is on loan. HAGWE Tyler ...  

Make the parting even more painful. ;(

... not to mention I love the watch you show! My travel watch has almost always been a Submariner (1680 or 14060M), a watch I find tough and reliable. A watch I had always loved! If my travel takes me to a diving destination I have with it the adequate wa...  

.. I really can relate to that choice.. Well taken, Abel ! Best, hs

So, your next trip will be a sports/divers trip?! :) Best Blomman

A classic Sub if I will be in or around water... An Explorer I for those colder days on the mountains... And my favorite travel watch, a 1675 GMT, Safe and happy travels to all. Great weekend to everybody, Alex ...  

I just could not resist the allure of the Crown :-))) But don´t worry, JLC, and others hold a firm place in my heart, even so that my recent purchase is a modest JLC which I plan to share in due time. Fuerte abrazo, hermano! Buen fin de semana, Alex

Due time is now! :) Un fuerte abrazo a ti ambien. Nicolas

Chicago... Dauphin Island, Alabama Battery Park, New York City New Orleans, Louisiana The mountains of Utah Saint Thomas, The Virgin Islands. But there is perhaps a new travel watch waiting in the wings... More on this newcomer when it gets back from the ...  

Great companion! :) looking forward to see your new travel watch. Best Blomman

.. my approach has been quite simple: I normally take max 2-3 watches with me, most of the time with a simple GMT indication/ complication, and one piece for a bit heavier duty.. Thus, here my humble chips: - Really like the versatility of Reverso GMT, wi...  

No message body

... and am planning to visit Lange boutique after landing, hehehe. Ken

This Lange would make any trip better. Safe travels, Ken! :-) Richard

It's a convenient time now - from the plane :-) Ken

I will be back home in the late afternoon of Sunday, and will be at the office next morning,..... :-( Ken

Hi Blomman, a very nice vintage GP diver you have got there. I wonder what properties make it your travel watch (legibility?). I do not travel very often and if so usually on ambulance flights which cannot be called a sophisticated way of travelling, it i...
