Gmt-master II

Rolex’s beloved “Pepsi” returns to its stainless steel roots with the new Gmt-master II in oyster steel with a red-and-blue Cerachrom bezel and a new Jubilee bracelet. First introduced in 1982 (ref 16760), the last iteration of the Gmt-master II in this colourway was back in 2014. Issued in white gold, the commercially successful watch sparked controversy among purists because of its precious armour. The wildly successful new steel version, undoubtedly one of the highlights at this year’s fair, is powered by the calibre 3285, a new movement with 10 pending patents and the energy-efficient and amagnetic Chronergy escapement, Parachrom hairspring and three-day power reserve.
