The GMT-Master II reads a second time zone off a 24 hour bezel, a trick Rolex worked out for Pan Am crews in 1955 and has never needed to redesign. The blue and black insert earned its nickname the day it launched and has been the hardest steel Rolex to buy ever since.

This Rolex GMT-Master II wears a 40mm Oystersteel case with a black dial under a blue and black Cerachrom bezel. Automatic calibre 3285 inside.

Fun fact: Rolex has never explained how it fires two colours into one piece of ceramic, and the process only works in certain colour pairs, which is why a red and blue Cerachrom took years longer to arrive. This is the Batman on the Oyster bracelet rather than the Jubilee.

The collection

GMT-Master II

A 24-hour bezel and a second time zone, a Rolex line running since 1955

The GMT-Master arrived in 1955 and was adopted by the flight crews of Pan American World Airways, reading a second zone from a 24-hour hand against a rotating 24-hour bezel. The GMT-Master II followed in 1982, its local hour hand adjusted in one-hour increments independently of the other hands and without stopping the watch, so the watch shows two zones at once and a third when the bezel is turned. It was the first Rolex fitted with a Cerachrom ceramic bezel insert, introduced in 2005, the two-colour versions made as a single piece and offered in a range of colour pairings. The line runs in Oystersteel, yellow and Everose Rolesor and solid gold, on the Oyster or Jubilee bracelet.
