Launched in 1955, the GMT-Master saw the rapid development of intercontinental travel in the second half of the 20th century. It even became the official imitation watch of Pan American World Airways, the most prestigious international airline in the United States. The GMT-Master, an actual “tool watch,” continued to evolve to offer ever more technical performance. In 1982, Rolex introduced a new movement that allowed the hour hand to be set independently of the other hands. The model fitted with the optimized movement was named GMT-Master II to mark this evolution.
The design of the GMT-Master II is instantly recognizable by its bezel-inserted indexes, available in various two-color combinations – the lower half symbolizing daytime and the upper half nighttime.
With its traditional hour, minute and seconds hands, its triangular-tipped 24-hour hand and its bidirectional rotating bezel with 24-hour graduated Cerachrom insert, the GMT-Master II can display time in two time zones simultaneously: local time and reference time, or local time and time in another time zone.
The latest GMT-Master II is equipped with the caliber 3285, a self-winding mechanical movement developed and manufactured by Rolex. A perfect showcase of technology, it excels in terms of precision, power reserve, shock resistance, convenience and reliability. It has a unique blue Parachrom hairspring and features the patented Chronergy escapement. The movement’s power reserve is extended to approximately 70 hours.
Rolex broke new ground in 2013 with the debut of a two-tone monobloc ceramic bezel insert – one half in blue and the other in black. A year later, the brand released the two-tone Cerachrom insert in red and blue – the original colors of the GMT-Master. It undertook pioneering research to develop a red ceramic that met its aesthetic and quality standards.
Like all Rolex replica watches, the GMT-Master II has been awarded the Super Chronometer certification. This designation attests to the fact that every watch that leaves the brand’s workshops has successfully undergone a series of tests conducted by Rolex in its own laboratories according to its own standards. The status of the Super Chronometer is symbolized by a green seal on each Rolex watch and is backed by a five-year international guarantee.
