Since Jack Mason introduced the Strat-o-Timer GMT in 2022, the Dallas-based brand has built one of the most talked-about affordable GMT watches on the market. The formula was simple: a vintage-inspired cushion case, a spec sheet that punches well above its price point, and — crucially — the Miyota 9075, a traveler’s GMT movement that lets you jump the local hour hand without stopping the watch or touching the GMT hand. It offers the kind of functionality that was previously reserved for watches costing several times more.
Now Jack Mason is expanding the collection with the Strat-o-Timer 42. The iconic look remains, and the case grows to 42mm, giving the watch a more commanding wrist presence while keeping the design elements that made the original a cult favorite. Inside, the Miyota 9075 traveler’s GMT remains at the heart of it — self-winding, regulated in-house by Jack Mason to ±5 seconds per day, with a 42-hour power reserve and true independent local hour hand adjustment. And like every Strat-o-Timer before it, the 42 is assembled in the United States.
