Hi all

I need to find a ladies, stainless steel, bracelet watch with a GMT/UTC function.

My good lady likes her Omega's, but they haven't got anything and we're looking to spend approx £1K. Seems we can have a Victronox for £300 (which doesn't hit the mark) or a Ulysse Nardin for £5k, what we we seem to fail to find is anything in between.

She is not interested in a dual time (twin dial) affair which seems to be the answer for ladies, she does however really like the 856 Sinn, but at 41mm is too large . . .

Hoping amongst the gathered knowledge, regular surfers and assembled opinionists someone may have a suggestion or 3.

Thanks, all help is much appreciated.

Well there's only a couple of options we've found so far ..

Victrinox



Torgoen



Both have differing options on dial and straps . . . Other than that we're drawing a bit of a blank . . frown

The Sinn 856 is only 40mm I think, so reasonably small in today's market. Bang on the money at £1K too.

I flagged that in my orginal post, for the lady though 40/41mm case diameter just doesn't suit her, she's not really into the large watch on a lady look, which is a shame as she loves the design of the Sinn.

After trying on my Stowa, 757, Damasko and one of the Seiko's she decided that actually she can wear a bigger watch and an 856 is such a classic design, how cool would it look on a girl, case being very very similar to the Damasko obviously.

So Neil @ Chronomaster, seems you're getting a call tomorrow, hope you've got stock in wink

The real bonus is apart from the fact she gets a watch with GMT function whilst we're both pinging between Paris and the UK, once we're settled in Paris, I get to wear the 856 as it becomes a shared timepiece bounce

That's brilliant, my wife wears my old white Explorer II and loves it - it looks cool on her too, that's about 39-40mm iirc.

Can't wait for the wrist check! smile
