Their positioning is still the double rotor and the "original inventor of the automatic winding system" (hard to get more mileage out of it anymore, without substantive product backings).

The incorporation of the double rotor to the aesthetics of the turbine is a clever one, you have to admit=) I was spinning that thing no stop for a good minute.

The original, literal rotor on the dial was a bit bizarre. 

But I agree that they need to curve out another strong design niche (although their skeleton chronographs are well-done) - hard to do in today's overcrowded market and without running the risk of looking outlandish...

Cheers,

Jon

Dear Jon, thanks a lot for the pics. I agree with MTF's comment but nethertheless I like the Seacraft GMT. Case and bracelet looks very nice and solid. Do you know the function of the two pushers and the small "window"/indication at 9 o'clock? Thanks in a...
