Rolex – GMT-Master II 126710BLRO, 126711CHNR & 126715CHNR (Baselworld 2018)
New release by Rolex shocked everyone. Rolex GMT-Master II 126710BLRO comes in stainless-steel with pepsi ceramic bezel and is coupled to a Jubilee bracelet.
The cosmopolitan watch par excellence, the Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II allows travellers to read the time in two different time zones simul- taneously. Precise, reliable, robust and functional, it is a reference among watches with multiple time zones.
At Baselworld 2018, Rolex is introducing three new versions of the GMT-Master II with a brand new movement, the new-generation calibre 3285, and a new image. The rst new version, in Oystersteel, combines an Oyster case and Jubilee bracelet with a bidirectional rotatable bezel and a 24-hour graduated two-colour Cerachrom insert in red and blue ceramic. Two further versions bring 18 ct Everose gold to the GMT-Master II range, along with a two-colour Cerachrom insert in brown and black ceramic.
In function as well as in name, the GMT-Master II evokes intercontinental travel across time zones. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) marks mean solar time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London – the historic location of the official prime meridian used for calculating longitude and determining different time zones around the world.
In addition to conventional hour, minute and seconds hands, which display the local time (the time in the wearer’s current location), the GMT-Master II features an arrow-tipped hand which circles the dial once every 24 hours, as well as a bidirectional rotatable bezel and a 24-hour gradu- ated Cerachrom insert in coloured ceramic. When the bezel is in the neutral position, that is with the triangle at 12 o’clock, the 24-hour hand displays the reference time (home time, for example), which can be read using the graduations on the bezel.
