Watch Description

The Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II in 18 kt white gold with a midnight blue dial and an Oyster bracelet. During Baselworld 2019, Rolex introduced one of the most notable editions yet, the Rolex GMT-Master II 126719 in white gold. Produced with either a midnight blue or meteorite dial, the white gold Pepsi GMT is a unique iteration of the famed pilot’s watch

 

This model features a midnight blue dial and a two-colour Cerachrom bezel insert in red and blue ceramic. In addition to conventional hour, minute and seconds hands, the GMT-Master II features an arrow-tipped hand, which circles the dial once every 24 hours, as well as a bidirectional rotatable 24-hour graduated bezel. The distinctively coloured 24-hour hand displays the “home” reference time in a first time zone which can be read on the graduations on the bezel. The traveller’s local time is easily set by “jumping” from hour to hour, thanks to an ingenious mechanism operated via the winding crown: the hour hand can be adjusted forwards or backwards independently of the minute and seconds hands. This allows travellers to adapt to their new time zone without affecting the precision of their timekeeping.
