Can we make a list of non-GMT watches with quick-set hour hands (where the hour hand can be advanced or reversed in one hour increments without stopping the movement)? I’m aware of the Omega 8500 and 8900 series movements but not much else until I discovered the JLC Geophysic True Second, which has it as well.

IWC IW3251 Time Zone Corrector has it though I suppose this does have a GMT complication.

Not the same concept, but a watch without hacking seconds also let’s you adjust without stopping the movement. It’s not as elegant or efficient as a jump-hour, but it gets the job done (with the obvious tradeoff that setting the watch to an exact reference time becomes tricky).

A lot of people don’t realize that most Patek’s and Vacherons don’t have the hacking seconds. Exhibit A:

The Ming 17.09s had this.

Omega Planet Ocean offers this

Grand Seiko 9F quartz has this in some (think its the 9F85)

I think if a watch with these specs existed, I’d have a hard time not buying it:

- 38-39mm steel case, automatic movement, <12mm thickness
- Bracelet preferred; date preferred; >50hr PR preferred
- 100M WR, screw down crown
- Low-key styling - simple and classic, no dial-side complications, minimal polished surfaces
- Independently adjustable hour hand without stopping movement - without GMT complication
- No recognizeable brands or design language (Rolex, Omega, etc.)

It’d be the ultimate go anywhere (including travel), do anything watch. Can wear it in a pool or put it on a nice leather strap for work. Won’t put a target on your back or attract unwanted attention like a Rolex GMT. Won’t say anything to a client about your compensation.

The JLC above is really really close - missing the screw down crown and the size might be a hair big.

It doesn’t hit all your requirements, but Monta has some options that get very close: Atlas, Noble, or Triumph.

I am in NYC but open to surrounding areas if anyone has any jeweler suggestions.

No idea if this is a stupid thought but figured it would be worth seeing if anyone has any experience or thoughts on this. TIA.
