About the Rolex GMT-Master II

The Rolex GMT-Master II is one of the most recognizable travel watches, for pilots, frequent travelers, and clients who need to read more than one time zone. Its identity comes from the 24-hour hand, two-tone rotatable bezel and practical dual-time zone function that goes back to the original GMT-Master created in 1954.

For clients looking at the Rolex GMT-Master II, the collection offers both technical function and strong visual character. Its roots are tied to Pan American Airlines, while modern versions are known for bezel colors such as Pepsi, Batman, Sprite and Root Beer.

History of the Rolex GMT-Master II

The original Rolex GMT-Master was created in 1954 for Pan Am pilots during the growth of international air travel. The watch allowed pilots to read two time zones using a 24-hour hand and a rotating bezel, very practical for long haul flights.

The collection evolved into the Rolex GMT-Master II which introduced an independently adjustable local hour hand for easier time zone changes. Over time, collector nicknames became part of the model’s identity, including Rolex GMT-Master 2 Pepsi for the blue and red bezel, Rolex GMT-Master II Batman for the blue and black bezel, Sprite for the green and black bezel and Root Beer for the brown and black bezel.
