Rolex GMT-Master II

Rolex GMT-Master II in brief

The GMT-Master was introduced in 1954 for pilots flying between continents, as a watch that shows two time zones at once. The GMT-Master II, which arrived in 1982, made the hour hand independently adjustable, making it easier to change the time while traveling.

The arrow-tipped 24-hour hand and the bidirectional rotating 24-hour bezel are read together; turning the bezel lets you track a third time zone as well. The two-color bezels gave the model its nicknames: red-and-blue "Pepsi," black-and-blue "Batman," green-and-black "Sprite."

Frequently asked questions

Jubilee or Oyster bracelet?

The Pepsi and Batman models have been made with both Jubilee and Oyster bracelets. The Jubilee is more elegant and flexible; the Oyster is plainer and sportier.

How is the third time zone read?

You turn the bezel by the desired time difference; the 24-hour hand then shows the time of the third zone on the bezel.

Is the GMT-Master II suitable for diving?

It is waterproof to 100 meters, suitable for swimming and snorkeling. Since its bezel was designed for time zones rather than diving, the Submariner is better suited to diving.
