With regards to the design, the GMT IIc is aimed at the modern businessman - someone who needs a watch to be reliable, practical, and look really sharp with a suit. The Explorer II is very much an outdoorsman's watch, just that little bit more sporty, a little less sophisticated (and I mean that as a compliment).

So, you have two watches with extremely similar functions with two different end uses. Clever stuff
Why the hell don't you own a GMTIIc????
