The pre-owned Rolex GMT-Master II is one of the most sought-after sports watches in the world. Heir to the GMT-Master created in 1955 for Pan Am crews, it displays two time zones simultaneously thanks to its 24-hour hand and rotating two-colour bezel, whose colour combinations spawned the most famous nicknames in watchmaking.
| Nickname | Bezel | Character |
|---|---|---|
| "Pepsi" | Blue and red | The historic 1955 configuration, pure aviation spirit |
| "Batman" / "Batgirl" | Blue and black | The contemporary duo, on Oyster or Jubilee bracelet |
| "Root Beer" | Brown and black or brown and gold | Retro elegance, often paired with Everose gold |
| Black | Monochrome | Sporting discretion |
The 24-hour hand points to a second time zone on the graduated bezel. Local time adjusts in one-hour jumps without stopping the watch: the traveller's complication par excellence.
The contemporary GMT-Master II measures 40 mm, a universal sports format.
