Master of the world

Rolex showcases the new GMT-Master II at Baselworld 2018.

28 March 2018

Shown off at Baselworld 2018, for the very first time, the bezel with a graduated two-colour Cerachrom insert in red and blue ceramic is available on the GMT-Master II .

The first of the new GMT-Master II versions introduced in 2018 is in Oystersteel. It is fitted onto a five-link Jubilee bracelet, also in Oystersteel, and has a bidirectional rotatable bezel and a 24-hour graduated two-colour Cerachrom insert in red and blue ceramic – calling to mind the colours used on the original GMT-Master in 1955.

It is the first time that the Jubilee bracelet, Oystersteel and the two-colour Cerachrom insert in red and blue ceramic have been brought together on the GMT-Master II.

Designed to display the time in two time zones at once, The Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II is the perfect watch for global travellers.

Originally designed to aid airline pilots in their navigation, the GMT-Master has become an unmistakable icon.

Over the years its emblematic bezel has been presented in various colours, in both single and two-coloured combinations. It is the signature feature of its unique and instantly recognizable aesthetics.

With a traditional hour, minute and seconds display via hands; a 24-hour hand; and a bidirectional rotatable bezel with a 24-hour graduated Cerachrom insert, it is possible to read the time in two time zones at once: either the local time and a reference time, or the local time and another time zone as desired. The date, shown at 3 o’clock, is synchronised with the local time display.
