The official watch of the
National Smokejumper Association
Initially limited to 100 individually numbered pieces
The SmokeJumper GMT Worldtime, the official timepiece of the National Smokejumper Association, is the successor to our introductory timepiece, the SmokeJumper Chronograph. The SmokeJumper GMT was inspired by America’s airborne firefighters of the National Smokejumper Association – those who risk it all to preserve life, save property, and protect our national forests.
Unlike its predecessor, the Smokejumper GMT Worldtime comes in two different dial colors, both silver and black and uses enamel and super luminescent differently to accent the functions on each of the dials. The GMT, or second time zone function, especially valuable to travelers since the second time function can maintain the time in a commonly visited city, state or country is simple to read and understand. In addition, the company has added a world time function on a secondary, sloped bezel located under the crystal which has each of the 24 cities that represent the 24 different world time zones. This bezel can be turned individually with a second crown located at the 10 o’clock position. It simply allows an individual to tell what time it is anywhere in the world based on matching the 24 hour hand to the city that they have set as the watch’s second time zone.
Engraved on the back of the case is the logo of the Missoula, Montana “Zuli Company” smokejumper base bears the endorsement of the National Smokejumper Association. Each ‘production-purchased’ SmokeJumper will be delivered with both a stainless steel bracelet and a hand-stitched saddle leather strap made of the same saddle leather found in our Bozeman Dry Goods line of leather luggage, and sewn according to the code of the saddlemaker right here in Bozeman, Montana.
The launch of the Bozeman Watch Company in 2005 would not have been as successful as it was without the deep relationship between the BWC and the Missoula, Motanan-based NSA. The SmokeJumper Chronograph launched the company’s quick success and placed the BWC at the forefront of the American watch manufacturing industry. To date, the Bozeman Watch Company has returned over $12,000 to the organization in support of its efforts fighting fires throughout the American West and we look forward to many more years’ collaboration.

The Bozeman Watch Company honors these airborne fire fighters with a 1% donation for each SmokeJumper sold throughout the entire inventory.
