MINT condition, this is a beautiful example of the beastly Korsbek Recon GMT diver. 1 of 50 made, you will not see it on another wrist ever. Runs and looks fantastic, ETA 2983 automatic winds so smoothly it's eerie. Comes with the full kit: Pelican case, warranty card, Hirsch Extreme rubber dive strap, timing slip from Korsbek, and two screwdrivers (for lug bar removal). I will include all three straps (including a brand new Christopher Ward leather with red stitching that the watch is currently on). Keeps good time, no issues. For those not familiar, this is a Fricker case, and the machining is impressive. Bezel has a nice subdued but positive click. Phenomenal lume. A super tool watch. Specs below are from Korsbek's Website. Pics are mine, taken today. Trying to fund another piece, so no trades please. $1175 including insured, tracked shipping. Payment via PP. Overseas at my discretion and only with well-established members. Thanks!

The Recon GMT combines a German made case with a Swiss movement. A rugged instrument designed to tell the time in multiple places. Our goal was to design and engineer a tool watch that met and exceeded all the requirements for world travelers and explorers.

Crafted from surgical-grade stainless steel, the German made case of this solid wrist instrument is rated water resistant to a depth of 500 meters, and houses a thick inner case made of soft iron, which shields the automatic movement against the effects of magnetism.


Inside of the Recon GMT beats a 21-jewel shockproof ETA 2893-2 automatic movement.

The Recon GMT ships in a green Pelican case, with a warranty card, and polishing cloth.
