The Rolex GMT Master II is the ultimate cosmopolitan watch. With a dedicated 24-hour hand and a 24-hour graduated two-color rotatable bezel, it displays a second-time zone in addition to the conventional time. At a glance, the wearer can see the time in their current location and in another part of the world, giving them a strengthened connection with their own personal ‘somewhere out there’, be it a special place or memory, or plans for a future journey.

This model features a black dial and a two-colour Cerachrom bezel insert in red and black ceramic – “Coke”. 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, as well as a bidirectional rotatable 24-hour graduated bezel.

The distinctively colored 24-hour hand displays the “home” reference time in a first-time zone which can be read on the graduations on the bezel. 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 backward independently of the minute and seconds hands. This allows travelers to adapt to their new time zone without affecting the precision of their timekeeping.

Like all Rolex Professional watches, the GMT-Master II offers exceptional legibility in all circumstances, especially in the dark, thanks to its Chromalight display. The broad hands and hour markers in simple shapes – triangles, circles, rectangles – are filled with a luminescent material emitting a long-lasting glow.
