This generation of GMT has an upgraded movement with quick-set date and still retains the acrylic crystal and some versions, like the two-tone and all-gold versions were offered with the iconic "Nipple dial" like the watch we have here. This variation of the GMT is referred to as transitional due to the combination of older and more modern features. These two-tone models with black dials offer a great value and excellent vintage vibe.  This example has a unique patina on the dial giving it almost a stingray skin look and pairs nicely with the green leather strap we put on. This watch has also retained its box and papers which is always a bonus.
