Launched in 1954, the GMT Master (GMT=Greenwich Mean Time) was designed in collaboration with Pan American Airways. Having an accurate wristwatch was an absolute necessity for pilots in those days, Rolex was able to give it to them. It is well known, the GMT-Master wasn’t only popular among Pan-Am pilots (or civil aviation), it was also popular for NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and U.S. Air Force pilots. In addition, business people who traveled to different time zones started wearing the Rolex GMT-Master, as reading home time and local time at the same time has a positive effect on fighting jet lags. The Rolex GMT Master II 126711 debuted at Basel World 2018 and has been gaining momentum ever since. A take on the classic Root Beer GMT, this men's Rolex boasts a two-tone black and brown Cerachrom bezel and striking Everose Rolesor finish. The bezel itself is an impressive achievement, as the process of creating a two-tone ceramic insert can be difficult to perfect. Second time-zone hour hand and instantaneous date, approximately 70 hours of power reserve. When paired with a modern maxi dial, a next-generation Rolex calibre 3285 perpetual movement, and a steel and rose gold finish, the 126711 is a truly impressive addition to the sports watch catalog. The Root Beer GMT Master II price will appeal to mid-level collectors who wish to add a distinct Rolex watch to their collection.
