Sea Quartz GMT
The Original Magnum P.I. Watch
In the early 1980’s, CBS launched the TV series Magnum PI. Set in Hawaii, it starred Tom Selleck. The series consistently ranked in the top 20 U.S. television programs for several years, finishing as high as number 3 for the 1982–83 season. And the watch that Tom Selleck wore for the first 3 seasons? Of course, it was the original Chronosport Sea Quartz 30. So we thought, why not combine the original Sea Quartz with the other watch he wore... the Pepsi GMT.
Authentic History, Better Performance
The Sea Quartz 30 models from the 1980’s have built an almost cult-like following with Magnum fans, divers, and watch fanatics. To make them proud, we recreated the Sea Quartz 30 as closely as possible to the original. Our historical connection to Chronosport meant we could send genuine cases, dials, hands, and bezels directly to our factories so they could analyze and match the design. Of course, we wanted to make some key improvements. The dial, hands, and bezel now feature C3 Super-LumiNova for vastly improved lume performance over the original. The original watch also featured a mineral bezel and crystal, which has been replaced with scratchproof sapphire for unmatched durability.

Better than Magnum's GMT
The first thing I noticed out of the box was that it looked smaller on the bracelet than the Sea Quartz 30. That may be because the bracelet has more of a taper. The second thing I noticed was that the dial color is a much more muted blue than it appears in the photos. I was pleased with this because I was afraid it was going to be too bright. Otherwise, it's a great GMT version of the original. Too bad these weren't around in Magnum's day. It's the GMT he should've worn in the show!
Sea Quartz GMT
It was a gift to my husband, he loves Momentum watches and has a few. He loved the watch
Another great watch from Momentum, a wonderful addition to my GMT collection. Comfortable to wear and looks very nice with the Jubilee bracelet....been buying these watches all the way back to when it was St Moritz.
Fun and awesome!
Just like its cousin the Sea Quartz 30, this is a fun, no nonsense, reliable watch that is ready for what ever you can through at it on a daily basis. Easy to read, GMT complication ( I need this for friends and relatives) and the added security of a 300M quartz watch means it is ready to go at a moment’s notice. Light weight ( on the strap), highly legible, highly accurate and ready at a moments notice is what this watch brings to the table. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention it’s flaws though- 1) the GMT hand should really extend out to the rehaut, and 2) the uni-directional bezel (a missed opportunity that would make this an 11!) should be bi-directional. Looking forward to years of awesome service with this one. Don’t hesitate to add one to your collection.
