all what you find in your GMT is 99.9% state of the art technology (swiss lever mechanical watchmaking wise), silicone,ceramics etc are nice trials and may or may not help to make mechanical watches more accurate and reliable but their main role to get attention(marketing) .Any 5digit Rolex with a 3135mvnt ,sapphire crystal and oyster bracelet ticks all the boxes of a standard a modern watch,

I can’t believe it keeps such good time. I have had modern watches that run worse.
