The Rolex GMT-Master II (case reference 126729 VTNR) debuts with its first-ever ceramic dial, crafted in a green Cerachrom material that matches the green half of its signature two-color green and black Cerachrom bezel insert. Presented in 18 ct white gold, this left-side crown edition also boasts a date aperture at 9 o’clock.
Rolex GMT-Master II: Cerachrom Dial and Bezel Innovation
On this new Rolex GMT-Master II, the green Cerachrom dial is fashioned in the same ceramic material as the lower portion of the green and black Cerachrom bezel. Rolex engineers fit a disc of ceramic onto a brass plate to achieve a dial of hardness, color consistency, and scratch resistance.
Meanwhile, the bidirectional rotatable bezel features numerals coated in platinum via PVD technology. Together, these ceramic innovations enhance both style and performance. The watch’s Oyster case measures 40 mm and guarantees waterproofness to 100 meters (330 feet), complemented by a Triplock winding crown with triple waterproofness protection.
Rolex GMT-Master II: Technical Excellence Meets Enduring Style
Powered by the self-winding Calibre 3285, the Rolex GMT-Master II delivers exceptional precision, a 70-hour power reserve, and anti-magnetic properties, thanks to its patented Chronergy escapement and blue Parachrom hairspring. Designed to display both local and reference time, this model has a 24-hour hand with a triangle tip and a bidirectional rotatable bezel to track multiple time zones simultaneously. The watch is fitted on an Oyster bracelet in 18 ct white gold, featuring an Oysterlock folding safety clasp and the Easylink comfort extension link, allowing wearers to adjust the bracelet length by up to 5 mm. Patented ceramic inserts within the links further enhance flexibility and durability.
Rolex GMT-Master II: Superlative Chronometer Precision
Every Rolex GMT-Master II is designated as a Superlative Chronometer, surpassing the strict standards set by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). After COSC certifies each movement, Rolex conducts in-house tests on the fully assembled watch, ensuring it meets the rigorous −2/+2 seconds per day precision requirement.
The 18 ct white gold Oyster case and sapphire crystal with a Cyclops lens over the date combine both elegance and function. The model’s hallmark green seal and an international five-year guarantee accompany every purchase. As the newest evolution of a storied traveler’s watch, this Rolex GMT-Master II continues to push boundaries in reliability, craftsmanship, and timeless design.
