A sophisticated and practical top-of-the-line Swiss chronometer, the Rolex GMT Master II is a stunning watch which is refined in both appearance and operation, but still manages to portray its
elf as unpretentious and humble in one way or another. Given that it has a long and fascinating history, the Rolex GMT Master II certainly reigns as one of the most popular Rolex Professional models.The additional 24-hour hand which traces hours against the bi-directional rotating bezel in "military time" as opposed to standard 12-hour time is the main feature of the Rolex GMT Master II. Originally invented for Pan Am pilots back in the early days of transatlantic flights allowing the pilots to examine both GMT and local time concurrently, the watch's design became more developed over the years, and the independent setting of the standard hour hand and the date was introduced.
Some exceptional characteristics of the Rolex GMT Master II include the ability of automatic movement (caliber 3185) coupled witht a 50-hour power reserve, as well as the 24 hour mentioned in detail above. It also resists water up to 100m in depth, with a Twinlock crown and a bi-direction rotating bezel, allowing one to quickly and easily track a third time zone with no hassle. With a date "cyclops" to enlarge the image of the otherwise tiny date window, the watch also made with extremely durable sapphire crystals, and comes in a stainless steel case and bracelet with a flip-lock clasp. Moving on to its hands, both the hour and minute hands are made of gold and appear luminescent in the dark.
