A first for us at Islander Watches - the release of our Traveler GMT, powered by the Miyota 9075. A traveler GMT is designed with the traveler in mind, and is a very useful complication for the jet-setter. The idea here is that the GMT hand stays sync'd to your home time, and you change the regular hour hand for the time zone you are visiting, via a quick change feature.
If you travel, you need one of these!

Thank you for watching!
The Islander brand is quickly becoming one of the coolest brands for design aesthetics and quality. Awesome.
wow, thank you!
Marc absolutely killed it with the Port Jeff design. The color ways are all fantastic. Best looking micro brand watch I’ve seen in a long time.
Great to see the Miyota 9075 being used vs Seiko NH34. Congrats on the Northport, still wearing mine! Awesome colours as always!
I prefer the other version of a GMT
thanks so much.
Marc, as a Long Islander and an airline pilot, this is the one I’ve been waiting for. Well done!
The degraded maroon with the maroon and brown bezel reminds me of the Jack Mason Dr Pepper GMT. Both of them look magnificent.
I've seen that watch, pretty cool!
I don't have a need for a traveler's GMT, and this is a little above what I would want to spend on a watch I don't need. That being said, these are some of the best looking watches you've made in a while, and the colors are beautiful. My only gripe would be the minute track; it's just a little busy. I think the minutes need to stand out more so they don't get lost.
no worries, thanks for watching.
Good heavens, such handsome watches! Colourways, lume, bracelets, bezel action, perfect. Magnificent job.
Glad you like them!
This is the best explanation of how to use a travelers gmt. I got my first one recently and have been searching for a decent explanation non stop. 20+ videos later and I finally found it. Thank you, mark!
The white is so cool so retro
Miami Vice!
For people asking for a dive bezel on this watch, get a dive watch lol. I travel alot and that 24 hr bezel is crucial. Plus, a true GMT in this price for this quality is really nice. Especially at 40mm! Wow!
Love these Mark! Loved the original and love that you’ve brought them back in GMT. The color ways are 🔥. You really can’t go wrong.
thanks so much
Beautifully done.
Just ordered the blue one. Can't wait!
That white is stunning!
Love the green one...
Great colors!
Love the green, they're great
The red looks amazing.
Just popped in to compliment "Editing Marc" on how patient and understanding he was with "Video Marc." It's clear that "Video Marc" is giving 100% and is GREAT at videos but "Video Marc" is much better at designing, creating, manufacturing and shipping the best LOOKING and best VALUE watch in America and "Editing Marc" understands that! I love it! I can't wait for my Port Jeff GMT to arrive! The hardest part was deciding on the white or the red!!! I hope to meet both "Video Marc" and "Editing March" at a watch show one day!
Very nice, I love it !
Thank you very much!
That was the best explanation of how to set a a Traveler GMT 👍
You have released some nice series of watches, but I think this is your most solid set of watches yet. There's usually at least one watch I don't like, but I would be happy with any of these, the blue and red probably being my favorites. If these were at least 42mm, I would probably get one. Keep up the great work. 💪
Wow, these are great! I couldn't even decide which color is the best. All of them are simply fantastic.
Very happy you made this watch Marc. It is gorgeous…especially that maroon beauty! Wow.
Very nice! Hard to pick a favorite. Well done. Have a great day! 🙏🏼
thanks!
Love this brand and all their affordable watches with great quality and features
Design idea from an airline pilot - gmt with the numbers on an inner ring or on the rehaut, with a timing bezel (countdown preferable) in a 40mm case. The only versions of this combo (Mido, Laco, Sinn 847) out there are 43mm cases or larger. Sinn's 846 with a countdown bezel would be another perspective. Timing bezels are way more useful than a a 24 hour bezel. Put the 24 hour numbers on or around the dial.
Longines Hydroconquest GMT:)
Nice that you've matched the background colour on the date.
thank you.
Agreed. A subtle detail that many watches miss
A jumping hour hand gmt for a smidge over $500 - crazy, but in a good way 😁. And that maroon one is lovely.
thank you!
Love that maroon one!
thank you
Your best watch yet! Well done Marc!
thank you!
beautiful watches
thank you
Awesome, beautiful functional watches....! This watch with that world timer bezel insert would be mind blowing
maybe one day
@@islandwatch Please don't ever think I'm knocking you, I LOVE what you do and I learn a lot here - You're one of my favorite watch channels... I do my own "palooka-esque" watch reviews.
Been a big fan of your channel for a long time and it's been a mainstay for me as I've learned about watches and watch collecting. The red dial immediately had me hooked - it's gorgeous and the specs are amazing. Plus, I love the use of the 9075 movement. Also, you did a great job making it look unique with lots of little details. I just made my first purchase from LIW!
They all look fantastic. Those colors really pop but are understated enough as to not shout! Well done!
thanks!
Awesome watch
Marc, I said it in a reply to your email and I'll say it here... you absolutely nailed the design! Every color variant looks great. The bezel and chapter ring are perfect. And not a '24' to be seen... I was waiting to see the video and I'll be ponying up!
These all look great. Watching this wearing my charcoal port jeff.
awesome!
Outstanding Marc! Congrats to you and the team. 🎉🎉🎉 Have wanted the white dial Port Jeff forever! And now with a travelers gmt? No brainer. Another home run, outta the park! Picked one up this morning. Can’t wait to get it in wrist!
thank you
Great watch, great movement, really do like it ,just wish it had a ceramic bezel
Maybe one day!
I'd love this watch with a ceramic bezel
That maroon looks incredible.
Came out great!
Very cool. The white is still my favorite. But that maroon… thanks!
I agree!
Stunning. I love a single dome crystal. May not be 100% practical but it looks stunning and adds interest. Ps really really like the Islander logo along with the text. Classy
The colors are amazing. These are going to sell out crazy fast. Eat your heart out, Seiko.
thanks so much.
Very nice watches Mark! And good price, especially for the miyota movement. I love the red one!
thanks, I think the red is the sleeper hit.
They all look good, but that red is super!
yeah, came out better than expected.
Beautiful watches
They are!
The rootbeer dial is great.
thanks!
Love the burgundy
Would love one of these with a cloud or waffle dial. I just received the JFK GMT white cloud dial and it is stunning
Beautiful!!! I’m lazy… would need a watch winder for this one. 😂
Luckily we sell those
I think this is the cheapest mechanical travellers GMT ive seen so far. Atleast one using this movement. Date at 6, that gorgeous dial and bezel, quite thin as well. This is gonna sell out quickly! I just wish it had it had a fully milled clasp. I love mine and i understand it contributes to the balance and overall thiness but on the GMT couldve gone for fully milled. With that said this is one of the best looking GMTs out there and you guys done a great job again! 👏👏👏
Long Island Watch is putting the big brands on notice! Very impressive! Any plans on a fixed bezel field type GMT watch?
Nice looking model! For me I definitely want a 24 hour rotating bezel on a gmt almost all the time. Otherwise it’s really just a dual time, and if I want a timing bezel I’ll just wear a diver.
good point
Marc thanks for posting this. It really shows off the degrading dial colours….. the Maroon is just stunning. I’m a fan of embossed case backs too. Cannot wait for mine to arrive. I sold my Rolex GMT Master II last year….. just didn’t wear it….. so with yours it will be nice to have a Travellers GMT again.
thank you for the kind words
These look great! You continue to deliver excellent value pieces Mark, really impressive stuff! Will this be offered on an oyster style bracelet?
not at this point, sorry.
Dang it, I want one now!
Cant agree more, that's the shi..great stuff Marc!
haha, thanks.
The white one and the coke color way are my favorite. They are all awesome though.
Never needed a GMT but they are neat for travelers
for sure.
I would love to see this beautiful dile in a samurai case.
noted
The photos in your email are kinda bad but after seeing this video I gotta say the blue and maroon are 🔥. Thanks for your hard work!
I bought the white version, because I needed a white dial watch (wink wink) and I missed the first white Port Jeff the first time around. Great series.
thank you!
That is a nice wrist watch check today……anyone who thinks you need to spend multiple 4 figures to have nice watches need to check out your wrists……also, congrats on the new release
thank you much!
Very nice! Blue is always my "go-to" color but the maroon is just stunning! BTW, for traveler GMT, I usually set the GMT hand to GMT hour (instead of my home-town hour). This way, I can easily figure out time for any given time zone. I am a bit torn between 24hrs bezel vs diver bezel. They are equally useful to me. Want to do a special edition with both 24hrs and diver on the bezel? ;-)
Wish the bezel had the same vintage coloured markings like the original Port Jefferson to match the hands and seconds hand shade. Still great watch
thank you
WELL DONE! At last someone gets this right. A triple time traveller. Moving bezel, 24 hour chapter ring AND a screw down crown. Geez we have had to wait a while for someone to do this. Pls stick a micro adjust on your bracelet. Divers bezel on a GMT NO NO. If they want a divers watch go buy a diver!
haha, okay, you tell 'em!
Traveler GMTs are great, and I do own one. I also own a few office GMTs. Considering that most of our travel to vastly different time zones takes place via airplane, there is ample time to reset an office GMT.
very true, but you cannot beat the coolness of the traveler
I love the aluminum inserts! It really brings focus to the dial vs a ceramic insert.
I'm just glad I was able to lume them successfully.
It’s very cool, Mark, but I kinda need a toolless micro adjust at that price. That said, I’m strongly tempted!
Consider the movement! You really cannot find a watch like this at this price. (just about)
@@islandwatch true !
Wow Mark I don't know how you and the Island design staff keep coming up with these knock out watches, But keep up the great work. Im sure there has been a meeting at another company(s) where the boss is screaming at the staff on why their new designs are nothing like yours.
That maroon color is awesome... as a woman I just wish it was 38 to fit my 5.25 inch wrist. 😢
Nice watches and i love that you used the Miyota 9075 but why did you not go with a quick adjust clasp?
price!!!!
These look great, Marc! Love the blue dial. Any chances the Republic could eventually get the 9075 treatment? I'm a total sucker for a sapphire bezel and that design with a 9075 would check every single box on my now multi-year hunt for the perfect travel watch. Traveler GMT movement, 200m WR, sapphire 24hr bezel/24hr chapter ring, applied indices, and killer lume, all in a 40mm case with a solid bracelet/clasp under $1k? *chef's kiss* Instant buy for me. I've definitely got my eye out for an update like that! As an aside, I like to approach the 3-timezones just a bit different; 12hr local, chapter ring for GMT/ZULU/UTC, use the bezel to adjust for home time as you cross time zones.
So many great colors. What to choose?! ❤
I know!!!!
These look great! Would we be able to mod them? I like the black dial, would love to have the bezel from the white dial on it.
Those are fire but what about some love for us larger wrist guys? A GMT in a Samurai case would be nuclear.
It would be great for your guys, but I have my doubts.
I understand where you are coming from. Your videos have really helped me grow my watch knowledge and I will keep my fingers crossed for something in the future. @@islandwatch
These are beauts with an unbeatable price! But I must ask: steel bezel when? 👀
Great looking watch! Are there any new World Time bezels in the works?
There will be a Calabro reboot, but same design, just new colors.
Marc took a shot at the Strat-o-timer. lol. I own the dark night variant of said piece and love it - double domed, boxed sapphire, 200m, sapphire on back, too, and quick release spring bars with on the fly adjust (awesome seven link jubilee and FKM tropic strap included in the $999rrp, also. I like yours a lot, too, Marc, but your kinda dissing the Jack Mason that has better specs, honestly.
They all look great, but that maroon is stunning. Great work!
thanks!
Waiting for the Port Jeff #ISL-176 to re-stock. (I already own the #ISL-179). I would rather have the thinner & lighter regular Port Jeff without GMT. But I do agree these new GMTs look great!
10:14 at this point this looks like a perpetual calendar movement, you need to wear it every other day to keep the right date. That's the reason I think a caller's GMT is better, even though is not considered a "true" GMT movement - you need to adjust the date more often than the gmt hand anyway.
Mom took us to Port Jefferson when we were kids to see the ship that broke in half.
Snagged up the “coke” version yesterday. Looking forward to comparing it to my Republic. Wondering if different bracelet options might eventually become available for this case?
I don't have anything planned, but I guess you never know.
I really, really like the maroon dial. Sadly I am well supplied (well, oversupplied) with GMT/Dual time/independently adjustable hour hand watches, can’t justify another one 😢. One comment: you may want to point out explicitly that this type of movement won’t strip a gear when you change the date around midnight, you can use the first position whenever you feel like it, unlike on an NH34.
Hi Marc. This looks amazing! Any chance that any of the oyster style bracelets offered on the site would fit this case? Thanks!
No, sorry, just these BOR for now
@@islandwatch thanks! Hopefully oyster comes soon. I’d purchase one right now if it did ;)
i hope you restock the model without gmt. i really like it but the price is way above comfortable for me right now
noted
Maybe I missed it, but can you change the date? I have 4 different Islanders, and rotate through them. Just yesterday I got back to my northport, and had to set the date which was 14 days behind. Good thing I didn't have to spin the hour hand around 28 times! LOL
Hi Marc, I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of these. I have a couple of questions please. How many clicks is the bezel? Looked like it might be 120? are the bezels on all models Aluminium?
Scratch the question on the aluminum bezels - I've watched the review again and it's clear they are all aluminium.😏
Any plans to release this in the cult favorite Caribbean Green colorway?
Pity you don't work for Seiko. This is the standard of watch they should be offering on their own $600 offerings.
They can offer the same at competitive pricing, they are just sidled up with so many other expenses.
Do a Northport GMT with the 9075 please
It reminds me a lot of those Islander Republics you had for sale a while back. Now I don't know if I should jump on one of these or hold out for a possible restock on the others.
The Republic will not come back, sorry.
@@islandwatch So no chance for a Republic with a 9075? Now that would be the ultimate flyer's GMT!
These are great, Mark! You butchered the GMT setting explanations, lol. But live that you edited your clarification 😂. You should've kept this video for simply introducing the watch and make a separate vid for GMT setting and functions of the watch! Overall, you are killing it!
Forgit to mention, my favorite is the coke version.
thanks! I thought it best to keep it in, because nothing is perfect!
Authentic and fun!
Marc, are you planning on doing a GMT version of the Charcoal variant? I hope so....
not at this point. It's actually the poorest selling version!
@islandwatch wow, wouldn't have expected that.
Hey wait a min, is this the first homage of a San Martin original design? we have gone full circle 😮
If you make a traveler GMT that looks like the ISL-74 "Batman"... It will be mine. Oh yes... It will be mine.
I wish the NH34 were a traveler... Great looking GMT, Marc!
yeah, well, for the price who can argue with the NH34.
