Product Information
One of the most notable features of the original GMT-Master was its luminous bakelite bezel insert, which provided a striking aesthetic and practical functionality. This bezel allowed pilots to easily read the time in different time zones, a crucial feature for long-haul flights. The first GMT-Master, reference 6542, even made an appearance in the 1964 James Bond film “Goldfinger,” worn by the character Pussy Galore.
In 1959, Rolex introduced the GMT-Master reference 1675, which brought several enhancements, including pointed crown guards and a more robust movement. This model became a beloved classic, known for its durability and timeless design. Over the years, the GMT-Master has continued to evolve, incorporating modern innovations while maintaining its iconic look.
The GMT-Master II, introduced in 1983, featured an independently adjustable hour hand, allowing wearers to easily set the local time without stopping the watch. This innovation further cemented the GMT-Master’s reputation as a tool watch for the modern traveler.
Today, the Rolex GMT-Master remains a symbol of exploration and sophistication. Its distinctive two-tone bezel, often referred to as the “Pepsi” or “Batman” bezel, continues to captivate watch enthusiasts around the world. Whether navigating the skies or exploring new horizons, the GMT-Master is a testament to Rolex’s commitment to excellence and innovation.
