SUMMARY

The latest-generation Rolex GMT-Master II continues to build on this long-running and successful model line, which dates all the way back to 1954 when it started life as a pilot’s watch. With a case water resistant to 100m and the ability to track multiple time zones simultaneously, it’s a luxury travel companion with genuine utility. Offered with a striking blue and red ceramic ‘Cerachrom’ bezel, the stainless steel case measures 40mm in diameter with large squared-off lugs characteristic of modern Rolex design. Anchored to the watch is a ‘Jubliee’ bracelet that affords it a classic aesthetic, which nods to the golden age of air travel. The dial is finished in gloss black with white gold hour markers and hands filled with Rolex’s proprietary ‘Chromalight’ luminescence. Housed underneath the screw-down case back is Rolex’s latest generation calibre 3285. In addition to being chronometer-certified and tested to an accuracy of +2 to -2 seconds per day, this automatic mechanical movement has an increased power reserve of 70 hours over the 48 of its predecessor.

All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request.
