The GMT-Master II was built for Pan Am crews in 1955 to hold two time zones at a glance, and its two colour bezels became a collector language of their own. It remains the travel watch by which all others navigate.

40mm steel frames this GMT-Master II (2021), running a second time zone, under a black face. Calibre 3285 keeps it running.

Fun fact: The 126710 is the GMT-Master II with a two colour Cerachrom bezel, a trick Rolex spent years failing to make before working out how to bleed one half of a black ceramic ring back to blue or red.

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.
