Linde Werdelin 3 TimervsVenezianico Nereide GMT Grand Tour

The Linde Werdelin 3 Timer is widely appreciated for its versatile GMT function, allowing for tracking three time zones, and its unique Biformeter case design with attractive finishing. Reviewers highlight the dial's concentric circle pattern and the ease of adjusting the GMT hand in one-hour increments via the bi-directional bezel, noting the ETA 2893-A2 movement's smooth winding. Owners and reviewers acknowledge the watch's aggressive design and utility, including 300m water resistance and easy strap changes, though some find the 44mm case chunky. The price, ranging from $5,700-$6,300, is considered high by some, particularly given the non-COSC certified ETA movement, and concerns about resale value and dated aesthetics are raised by one owner.

Owners widely praise the Venezianico Nereide GMT Grand Tour for its beautiful and colorful design, refined muted blue dial, and Italian-made 39mm case with sapphire crystal and AR coating. The bracelet is frequently noted as feeling great on the wrist, and one owner reports excellent accuracy at +-2 seconds per day. Some owners appreciate the dress-casual sport watch feel and the rose gold mirrored bezel portion, while others find the optical glass bezel preferable for reduced glare. However, some find the watch large, and one owner experienced the butterfly clasp opening while swimming. The price is considered steep by some for a Miyota GMT, though others feel it is justified by the improved case finishing and solid feel, especially compared to other movements. The unidirectional 120-click bezel is noted as essentially a diver bezel with a different insert.
