I’m fairly new to the watch game. I currently have a Bluesy ref. 16613 and a few beaters. I’m looking for something a little more low profile that has great quality. Maybe a lesser known brand. Mainly wanting something to wear intra-(USA) and internationally during travel that doesn’t draw too much attention. Any suggestion is appreciated! 3k budget

    Longines Spirit Zulu Time for a GMT watch with great design and quality that doesn’t scream “you have an expensive Rolex”.

    If you’re comfortable expanding your budget a little I’d go for an Omega Seamaster. Alternatively I’d look at Christopher Ward. Depending on style of watch you like a bunch of $2-3k options esp on secondary market, though in my experience going up to $4-4.5k opens up a lot of possibilities.

    For low profile but high build quality, especially for travel, maybe something like the NOMOS Zürich Weltzeit. It’s a bit over your budget pre-owned, but I think it accomplishes a lot of what you’re looking for.

    If not that, something tough like an Oris 400 aquis date, or pro pilot x. They have the new 400 movement with a 5 day power reserve.

    There’s also the Grand Seiko Sport collection, with a bunch of GMT offerings in this price range.
