Stührling Original Meridian GMT Diver Quartz Watch, $63 (was $495) at Amazon
The stunning Meridian GMT Diver is part of Stührling's Aquadiver collection, featuring a Swiss quartz movement and a screw-down crown. As implied by the name, it's labeled with General Military Time markers, going from zero to 2,400 hours, which is either a fun, unique touch or purely practical, depending on who and where you are. It measures 30 millimeters across, features a push-button buckle-style clasp, and is water-resistant up to a depth of 100 meters, or 330 feet.
Manufactured in Hong Kong, it runs on a single small lithium battery, which is included with the watch. The stainless-steel Meridian also comes with a lovely 42-millimeter case, so you can display it with pride alongside the rest of your collection.
"An excellent watch. I bought three of these for my sons-in-law — they already own Rolex watches, and I can't afford to buy those, so I came here to Stührling," wrote a reviewer. "The box is nice, and the overall presentation looks very classy. It looks just like the Rolex GMT Pepsi, which can sell for easily over $10,000. The only difference I can see is the brand logo."
