Miyota

Miyota's GMT complication caliber built on the 90-series platform, featuring an independently adjustable 24-hour hand for tracking a second time zone. At 28 jewels it has the highest jewel count in the Miyota automatic lineup. The 5.67mm height accommodates the additional GMT wheel train, and the true GMT function with jumping local hour hand makes it a compelling alternative to Swiss GMT movements at a fraction of the cost.

Owners talk.

“

The Nodus Contrail GMT is praised for its excellent case and bracelet quality, impressive finishing that suggests a much higher price point, and brilliant proportions, making it a well-executed flier-style GMT. Owners and reviewers highlight its slender 40.5mm case, comfortable flat-link bracelet, and 200 meters of water resistance. The Miyota Caliber 9075 movement is noted, with one source reporting accuracy regulated to +/-8 seconds per day. Some find the red Contrail name on the dial and red numerals on the roulette disc difficult to read, and the small crown and large guards may be tedious for some. One user questioned the bidirectional bezel's lack of a 60-minute index despite the existing 24-hour scale. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Nodus Contrail GMT highly for its value and build quality at its price point.
