I'm surprised this model isn't more popular, it's very nice. Is the 24 hour hand independently adjustable or always linked to hour hand? If independent I might look for one of these and use that hand for GMT.Actually my third watch of the day as I was WFH and bored. Started with a Speedmaster pro, then a Seiko that needed winding, finally my Triple Date

The 24 hour hand is just a morning/afternoon indicator and is fixed to the hour hand. I thought it a bit pointless at first but it does help when setting the time since setting the date is a little fiddly so you want to know whether the watch is at 6am or 6pm.
I only bought this as an investment watch. I had just bought a moonwatch and figured I would wear that but in-person the triple-date is very nice and I tend to pick it up just as often. The dial looks a bit fussy in pictures but much less so in reality, I find.
This morning's watch is a Poljot (branded Second for the export market) Strela. My son is in Prague for a year and has been tasked with finding me one of these with a cyrillic dial
An older Omega this time. This is a birth-year watch according to the seller, although given the downright lies she told in her advert that resulted in a costly trip to the repair shop I am not too reliant on her dating.
