OCEAN7 G-1 GMT we reviewed ETA 2893-2

We see a very similar handset, polished case, bezel grip, and the sapphire bezel insert but the dial, lugs and bezel scale are quite different.
The OCEAN7 LM-5 GMT features a distinct dial design (carried over from the G-1 GMT) and the LM-5 family is slightly smaller than a modern Fifty Fathoms (42 vs 45mm).
We feel that OCEAN7 has really made the design their own, while preserving the tough-yet-dressy allure of the Fifty Fathoms design. For those that disagree, the absolutely stunning Fifty Fathoms can be yours for roughly $13,000 (and up).
In practical “on-wrist” terms, the LM-5 GMT is a delight. The thin case felt perfect on my 7.5 inch wrist and, thanks to its light weight strap, the LM-5 GMT does not encumber or even announce its presence in any bothersome way.
The polished case is a bit on the flashy side but I feel it matches the design and the works well with copious amount of sapphire that makes up the bezel and crystal.
All of these elements work together to create a watch that is easy to wear, quite dressy for a sport watch and one of the best “daily-wearers” we have seen of late. The LM-5 GMT’s practical size combined with a versatile design mean it should be able to dress up or down and OCEAN7 even offers an optional mesh bracelet ($199) if you prefer to sport a bit more steel.
I tried the LM-5 GMT on everything from a nato to a series of leather strap and they all seemed to fit really well thanks to its simple case design and robust diver styling.
OCEAN7 is selling the LM-5 GMT for $899 and we are not entirely sure how they are making any money.
The base LM-5 diver sells for only $100 less and features a more sporty dial design with over sized numerals. We very much prefer the dial design and added practicality of the GMT complication, especially for such a small increase in price.
