James McVey and Andrew pick 3 travel watches from their personal collections

In this engaging conversation between Time+Tide founder Andrew McUtchen and celebrated musician James McVey (The Vamps), the focus is on three watches they each like to travel with - specifically selecting timepieces suitable for various travel scenarios. The discussion starts with the challenges of wearing luxury watches like Rolex in today’s world, where theft and safety are concerns in many travel destinations. They then go back and forth, sharing their wristwatch selections, their personal experiences travelling with the watches, and why these pieces are good watches to travel with.

17:20 The G10 was not issued to a member of the Navy. It was actually issued to an airman. Actually making it a little more rare

CORRECTION: @ 17:20 Fun Fact...The G10 was not issued to a member of the Navy. It was actually issued to an airman. Actually making it a little more rare

I really enjoyed their conversation, passion without being pretentious. The Serica is the star of this show, great diver.

[lucaom]

I really liked the flow in this brotherly conversation. Great three pieces 'selection', on both fronts. (Wrist check: Zodiac Sea Wolf 53 Skin black dial, 2014)

It’s a pity that most moonphases don’t come with a reverse direction capability so that you can use it in the southern hemisphere. Omega just released a watch with both a northern and southern hemisphere moonphase on the dial, but it’s not that aesthetically pleasing.

[rodskellet]

Australia is exceptionally safe. No issues wearing a Rolex.

[wngimageanddesign]

That Grand Seiko GMT is understated elegance. The shape, dial, finish and crystal all yields a most aesthetic dress watch. A favorite of mine.

How come nobody every mentions the explorer 2 ? Surely it's in the rankings for best one watch, do it all, travel, night out, casual and whatever else?

[Heliconwatches]

It’s great to see James in this video, and catch up with him and his family at the recent Toledano and Chan event at the London Time and Tide Studio. It was a pleasure to meet him and his family quite a few years ago as he began his watch collecting journey.

I’m sitting in Mumbai with my Seiko SLA043 on a Meraud blue tropic and a Casio GW5000U for my month in South Asia. Great to listen to James’ watch enthusiasm.

[weezkidtube]

Zenith triple date moonphase is way cool.

[cosmodoc]

Andrew’s 4 watches are some of the most interesting and pretty watches I have seen so far..

[robertp]

The vintage Zenith is incredibly beautiful. Can you please provide the reference number?

[geopapak]

very nice watches and very good presentation and discussion thanks guys… 👍💪👏❤️

[firminshepherd]

I nearly missed the vote for best collection! Really like the look of Andrew's Zodiak but for a 3-watch smash-hit, I have to say James. Really cool Zenith there. Great stuff!

[mdo]

GREAT SELECTIONS ANDREW....each pick had a unique personality without breaking the bank.

[scollyutube]

Titanium GMT I.e FXD, and a 5600 Casio covers all the bases for me on holiday's.
I find my Sub too heavy to do holiday things with like skiing etc but titanium makes all the difference.

Idk about the rest of the world but the US has been on a 30+ year decline in crime. Maybe we have tiny spikes here and there but we are pretty safe overall.

[Dr_LK]

Rolex in Singapore is absolutely fine. Taxi drivers and aunties in the MRT are wearing them also!

[CommonSenseBodybuilding]

About a year back I saw loads of those GS GMTs for sub-£2000 and now I don’t see many below £3500. Shame given on that brown strap I’ve developed a fixation!

[NischalSheodayal]

James...Wins… those pieces have tons of memories ❤
