The newly launched Flightmaster models in 1993, equipped with the early generation of Kinetic movements, known as Auto Generating System (“AGS”). Throughout the release of the Flightmaster range, they were powered by a variety of movements showcasing the evolution of Seiko’s Kinetic movements. • The first titanium Flightmaster, the GMT model SBCW005 was introduced in 1997 powered by the kinetic Cal. 5M45 with 7 days power reserve.. The Flightmaster watches, as mentioned in the Seiko book “A Journey in Time”, belonged to the “Master” series of watches including the Scubamaster and Landmaster. Seiko Designer Mr. Tokunaga calls the Flightmaster he conceived “a watch worth entrusting your life to”. • GMT • The Flightmaster's GMT hand is slaved to the minute hand. The hour hand is independently adjustable, this in one hour jumps of course without the minute or seconds hand stopping, and the date following it. So the local time (and date - it follows the hour hand both forwards and backwards) is always shown with the main hands. The GMT hand always tracks whatever home timezone you synched it to when setting the minutes. Thus, when the GMT hand is set to home time and you are at home, you would have the normal hour hand at that time too - well, to be specific, the normal hand and the GMT hand come close together again when you approach the 24:00 hour time frame more and more. Obviously, the GMT hand rotates once every 24 hrs, but the hour hand, twice. This means that the GMT and the hour hand will move away from each other and back again in the 24h period (i.e. the hour hand is twice as fast). Now don't worry, the GMT is supremely simple, when you hop on a plane, you pull out the crown and adjust the main hour hand (not the GMT hand) in one hour increments to the new local time, leaving the mins and secs carrying on, unhacked. Push back in and you are good to go. • Some facts • 1. Water resistance, capable of a 10 atmospheric-pressure depth. • 2. Shock resistance from a height of 3ft. either by dropping a rock from that height onto it or by dropping the watch from that height. • 3. Magnetic resistance it could handle 16,000A/m when specs only called for 4,800Am • 4. Abrasion resistant crystal Hardlex was used. Sapphire probably would have been better but, wouldn’t have stood up to decompression • 5. Heat resistance +60 degrees C which is higher than the worlds maximum temperature • 6. Cold resistance 2mm thick crystal with AR coating to prevent fogging and glare. It was tested to -40 degrees C without a problem • 7. Corrosion resistance it’s made of Titanium and will resist corrosion if left in salt water for more than 24 hours. • 8. Chemical resistance it can’t deteriorate from alcohols, cosmetic oils, • 9. Dust resistant sealed against natural environment penetration (dirt, dust .etc) • 10. Gas resistant ammonia gas, carbon monoxide..etc. • 11. Luminescence it’s able to be read from distance of 25cm in complete darkness • 12. Weight made from titanium it only had a total weight of 56grams
