24-Hour Rotatable Bezel
This model features a black dial and a two-colourÂCerachrom bezel insert in grey and black ceramic. In addition to conventional hour, minute, and seconds hands, the GMT-Master II features an arrow-tipped hand, which circles the dial once every 24 hours, along with a bidirectional rotatable 24-hour graduated bezel. The distinctively coloured 24-hour hand displays the “home†reference time in the first time zone, which can be read on the bezel graduations.The traveler’s local time is easily set by “jumping†from hour to hour, thanks to an ingenious mechanism operated via the winding crown: the hour hand can be adjusted forwards or backwards independently of the minute and seconds hands. This allows travelers to adapt to their new time zone without affecting the precision of their timekeeping.
Black DialLike all Rolex Professional watches, the GMT-Master II offers exceptional legibility in all circumstances, especially in the dark, thanks to itsÂChromalight display. The broad hands and hour markers, in simple shapes – triangles, circles, and rectangles – are filled with a luminescent material that emits a long-lasting glow.
18 ct Yellow GoldBy operating its own exclusive foundry, Rolex has the unrivalled ability to cast the highest quality 18 ct gold alloys. Depending on the proportion of silver, copper, platinum, or palladium added, different types of 18 ct gold are produced: yellow, pink, or white. These alloys are made with only the purest metals and meticulously inspected in an in-house laboratory using state-of-the-art equipment. The gold is then formed and shaped with the same painstaking attention to quality. Rolex’s commitment to excellence begins at the source.
