The Sprite GMT That Sits Right on a Smaller Wrist

A 40mm steel GMT-Master II with the green-black bezel that wears smaller than the number suggests.

The Sprite GMT That Sits Right on a Smaller Wrist

Forty millimeters is the number people fixate on, but the way this GMT-Master II actually sits on the wrist is what matters. The case is short between the lugs, so on a 6.5-inch wrist the bracelet wraps without the case tipping or the lugs hanging off the edge. It reads as a sports watch, not an oversized one.

The Oyster bracelet does a lot of the work. Flat, tapering links keep the weight low and centered, so the head doesn't slide around a narrower wrist the way a loose bracelet does. Get it sized to one link of play and it stays put.

The black dial and green-black ceramic bezel keep it quiet from across a room and only show the color up close. Cuff or no cuff, dress-down or a jacket, it clears a shirt sleeve and doesn't fight it.

This one is a 2024, pre-owned with papers, authenticated in-house and serviced by our watchmakers, backed by our store warranty. If you've passed on bigger sports watches because they swamp your wrist, this is the one to try on.
