Expeditioner

The Ginault Expeditioner gives the familiar steel sports watch a softer palette: platinum-gray ceramic around enamel dials, including Cherry Blossom and Pearl White. The more interesting choice, though, is what you want that bezel to do—time an interval or keep track of another time zone.

Choose the Diver for its 120-click unidirectional timing bezel; the Traveler instead uses a bidirectional 12-hour scale. Despite the name, the latter isn’t a GMT movement: you turn the bezel to read a second zone against the ordinary hour hand. Both use the automatic Sellita SW200-1, so this is a choice of function rather than mechanical complexity.

The crystal deserves equal consideration. A flat crystal keeps the dial visually uninterrupted, while the optional Cyclops makes the date more prominent—a small detail that changes the watch’s face considerably.
