I have the Longines Spirit Zulu time, the Blue Seiko SSK001, and the Baltic Aquascaphe. I like all three of them. The Baltic is simple and elegant, but might wear smaller than its true measurements. The Longines is gorgeous and very wearable. The Seiko exhibits everything I like about the brand.

Seiko Presage GMT, a true GMT mechanical movement. Sapphire crystal, hard coated case bezel and bracelet, patterned dial, 29 jewel 45hrs power reserve in-house mechanical movement and made in Japan. Less than $1500!

Thank you for the interesting article. Here are 2 additional traveler’s GMT pieces under $1k: Jack Mason Strat-o-timer is an upscale, regulated Miyota 9075-based GMT. Citizen Promaster Marine (or any version with the B877 moment) is an EcoDrive traveler’s GMT. Both are excellent choices.
Just pull the crown completely out to set. I assume its the “wonkiness” of the crown when hand winding (and also setting) that makes people uncomfortable. But Stepping OUT of comfort is good for growth so welcome the challenge!
I have that Neptune GMT, it’s quite complicated to set the date and the GMT because it uses Vostok’s 1960s technology for the movement. So it ends up just as a collection in my watchbox.

Vostoks are difficult to set in my experience.
