Rolex GMT-Master II
#40 of 166 in the community watch ranking · 18 head-to-head votes
What makes it stand out
The watch that more or less established the GMT "look" was created by Rolex for Pan Am Airlines pilots in 1955. The GMT-Master also follows the grand Rolex tradition of sporting nicknames for its various iterations, i.e., "Pepsi" for the red-and-blue 24-hour bezel and "Batman" for the blue-and-black version. The "Root Beer" model released in 2018 sports the two-tone gold-and-steel combo that Rolex calls "Rolesor." The brown-to-black Cerachrom bezel with the classic 24-hour scale is resistant to scratches, corrosion, and ultraviolet rays, and the automatic movement inside stores a 70-hour power reserve.
