Named after the brand's master watchmaker Gilbert O. Gudjonsson. The store sells the Adventurer (matte white dial), Liberator (galvanic silver) and Dictator (cream and black) as the "Gilbert Vintage Watch Collection" and the Bóhem (silver sunburst with blued Roman numerals, or white or black with gold Roman numerals) as "Gilbert Bóhem"; both collection pages give the same case and movement and the photos show the same case, so they are one model with each dial as a variant. Brand spec: 38.5mm polished 316L steel case, curved sapphire crystal with multi-layer AR on the inside, sapphire display back, 5 ATM, 20mm lug width, 45mm lug-to-lug, 42-hour power reserve, date at six, flame-blued (or gold, Bóhem) Lancette hands; the Liberator and Dictator have old-radium Super-LumiNova hour markers. Height: the store listings say 10.3mm and both collection pages 10.0mm, and neither says whether the crystal is included, so thickness is left blank. Movement: the brand describes a Swiss Made automatic "Execution Top" with 25 jewels, Incabloc shock protection, custom decoration with blued screws and rhodium plating, "Assortment Chronometer" fine tuning and adjustment in five positions, but never names the caliber. 25 jewels, ETA's "Execution Top" grade and Incabloc match the ETA 2824-2 Top (a Sellita SW200-1 has 26 jewels), and aBlogtoWatch's Islandus review and Fifth Wrist's Sif N.A.R.T. review both name a top-grade ETA 2824(-2), so eta-2824-2 with grade Top is recorded. The brand gives no rate figures, so no regulation claim is recorded beyond the grade's factory five-position adjustment. The steel bracelet option is a mesh bracelet (seen in the product photos); its clasp isn't described. Prices: the store's own, in US dollars (its only currency). The store says watch prices include all import/export duties and DHL Express shipping and insurance to the door worldwide, so they are delivered prices; VAT isn't mentioned separately. Strap and bracelet choices change the price and are recorded as configurations. Several colourways are listed more than once in the store with the same options and prices; each listing has its own store entry.
