GMT Master II print ad's - Then and Now

found the 'Then' ad in one of my archived issues of National Geographic Traveler from the 1990's. when I saw the 'Now' ad in the June 2012 issue of National Geographic I found their similarities interesting. (pardon the quality of the images, had a problem with the scanning.)

also, I find it interesting that in the Then ad, the insert enlargement of the 4 hands shows the seconds hand without a lume marker.
