Why No Tudor GMT????

I was wondering why Tudor never made a GMT model considering they had models that mirrored most of the Rolex models:

Rolex Submariner = Tudor Submariner
Rolex Daytona = Tudor Big Block / Oysterdate Chrono
Rolex Day Date = Tudor Jumbo Day Date
Rolex Datejust = Tudor Jumbo (no day)
Rolex GMT =

Any thoughts?

Don't know if you're referring only to vintage, but the Aeronaut GMT from a couple years ago is a GMT... Appearance wise it is more akin to Explorer II with fixed SS bezel.

^This.

Also, although not a true GMT, the 79X70 chrono's 12 hour rotating bezel can be used as a second time zone function.

Thanks for the reminder. I was just thinking how come Tudor never released watches in the GMT and Explorer variants in the vintage models since they were already in production at Rolex ?
