GMT Master II, Expansion of evolution and choice

The birth of the GMT Master began when Pan American World Airways (Pan Am), A major airline in the United States, Requested a watch that could check multiple time zones simultaneously for its pilots performing long-distance flights. At the time, As commercial airline routes expanded globally, There was a need to check two or more time zones simultaneously, Including GMT (Greenwich Mean Time, Currently UTC), The standard time for international air operations. In response, Rolex developed the GMT-Master Ref. 6542 in 1954, Adding a fourth hand (24-hour hand) that made one full rotation in 24-hour units and a rotating 24-hour bezel, And officially released it in 1955. In 2021, The GMT Master 2 with Oyster bracelet (Ref. 126710BLNR) was announced. The next model to the Jubilee Bracelet announced in 2019 comes in two options. It is also recognized as the true successor to Ref. 116710BLNR and marks the return of the sporty feel of the Oyster bracelet. There have also been major changes in the movement. The Cal. 3285, Which has an improved power reserve than the Cal. 3186 that played a pivotal role in the journey of the GMT Master, Has been installed, Further enhancing practicality and durability. You can tell that it is equipped with a new movement by looking at the “swiss crown made” mark written at the 6 o’clock position on the dial. This model is recommended for those who want to experience the practicality, Fashion, And charm of the GMT Master.
