The birth of the GMT-Master began when Pan American Airlines, A major U.S. airline, Requested a watch that could simultaneously check multiple time zones for its pilots on long-distance flights. It was necessary to check two or more time zones simultaneously, Including GMT (Greenwich Mean Time, Currently UTC), The standard time for international air travel. 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 launched it in 1955.
Continuing this tradition, The GMT Master 2 (Ref. 126710BLRO) released in 2018 featured a “Fabsi” bezel in stainless steel, Drawing attention as it was a model that was revived after 11 years.
With its traditional design and modern technology, Iconic bezel colors, And Jubilee bracelet, This watch quickly became an icon. Equipped with the latest movement, Cal. 3285, It boasts a power reserve of 70 hours and excellent durability, And is a highly recommended model for those who want style, Reliability, And future value.
