This Seamaster GMT certainly comes as close to the iconic 16570 as any watch would dare, and in some ways even offers some advantages. If you’re not sold on it from the pictures alone, allow me to shine a light on some of the details that make this watch so special. I’ll start with the obvious, which is the fact that the Seamaster GMT has the undeniable charm of the 2254, and then some. It features the same sharp sword hands, the same wave dial, and a very similar dial layout, including the big pizza slice of lume at 12 o’clock. Or is it more of a shark’s tooth? Either way, this Seamaster GMT earned the nickname “Great White” long before this was used for the modern white-dialed SMP 300.
