Rolex's first official Left GMT

The birth of the GMT Master began when Pan American Airlines, A major U.S. airline, Requested a watch that could check multiple time zones simultaneously 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 released it in 1955. The model introduced this time is the 2022 GMT Master II with the "left" specification, With the crown position moved from the right to the left. Rolex has had left-hand crown models in the past, But this is the first left-hand crown model as an official model. When worn on the left wrist, It has the advantage of the crown not touching the back of the hand. In addition, The date window has also moved from the 3 o'clock position to the 9 o'clock position, Just like the crown. The bezel color is a two-tone bezel of green and black, Which is appearing for the first time in the GMT Master series. It is also nicknamed "Sprite". The "VTNR" included in the reference number is derived from the French words "Vert (green)" and "Noir (black)", Symbolizing the colors green and black. The dial features a crown mark along with the "SWISS MADE" logo at the 6 o'clock position. The movement is Cal. 3285, Which is used in Ref. 126710BLRO and Ref. 126710BLNR, And provides stable, High durability with a power reserve of 70 hours, Shock resistance, And anti-magnetic performance. While maintaining the same accuracy as the existing Cal. 3285, The date disc has been designed exclusively for the left model.
