I currently own UN GMT+/- big date and Blancpain 2100 time zone. Here are the reasons why I chose these particular watches:
- very versatile (not too sporty and not to dressy);
- reasonable water resistance, which includes case water resistance and bracelet availability. I wouldn't go scuba while wearing these watches, but not afraid to take them for a casual swim.
- easy to adjust the timezone (nobody can beat UN here).
- and last, but not least they both are very good looking watches.
The UN dial is very elegant and uncluttered, but it is not easy sometimes to figure out what time it is at home due to the combination of the digital home time indication and analog minute hand. Blancpain has analog home time, but the dial is busier and the adjustment is not as easy as in UN.
