The Oyster PerpetualGMT-Master II in 18 ctwhite gold with anOyster bracelet.

This model features a meteorite dial and a two-colour

Cerachrom bezel insert in red and blue ceramic. Designed

to show the time in two different time zones

simultaneously during intercontinental flights, the GMT-

Master II has come to be recognized for its robustness and

versatile appearance.

Meteorite dialFrom across the Solar

System

This model is the only GMT-Master II with a meteorite dial.

Meteorite comes from the heart of an asteroid or possibly

even a planet that has exploded, propelling material across

the Solar System until chance brings it into our planet’s

orbit and gravity pulls it to Earth.

24-Hour Rotatable BezelInnovative high-technology

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.

18 ct white goldCommitment toexcellence

By operating its own exclusive foundry, Rolex has the

unrivalled ability to cast the highest quality 18 ct gold

alloys. According to the proportion of silver, copper,

platinum or palladium added, different types of 18 ct

gold are obtained: yellow, pink or white. They are made

with only the purest metals and meticulously inspected in

an in-house laboratory with state-of-the-art equipment,

before the gold is formed and shaped with the same

painstaking attention to quality. Rolex's commitment to

excellence begins at the source.

The Oyster braceletAlchemy of form andfunction

The design, development and production of Rolex

bracelets and clasps, as well as the stringent tests they

face, involve advanced high technology. And, as with all

the components of the watch, aesthetic controls by the

human eye guarantee impeccable beauty. The Oyster

bracelet is a perfect alchemy of form and function. First

introduced in the late 1930s, this particularly robust and

comfortable metal bracelet with its broad, flat three-piece

links remains the most universal bracelet in the Oyster

collection.

Two Time ZonesSimultaneous display

With traditional hour, minute and seconds hands, a

triangle-tipped 24-hour hand, and a bidirectional rotatable

bezel with 24-hour graduated Cerachrom insert, the GMT-

Master II can display the time in two time zones

simultaneously: either the local time and the reference

time, or the local time and that of an alternative time zone.

The date, at 3 o’clock on the dial, is synchronized with the

local time.

The Cyclops lensA magnifying lens

The Cyclops lens is one of the most distinctive Rolex

features, and one of the most recognizable. Named after

the one-eyed giant of Greek mythology, the Cyclops lens

magnifies the watch’s emblematic date display two and a

half times for easy reading. Behind the Cyclops, as with

every feature of a Rolex timepiece, lies a history of

invention, research and development, and the endless

search for perfection.

3285 MovementSuperlative performance

The new calibre 3285, a new-generation movement

entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. With 10

patent applications filed over the course of its

development, this movement features a Chronergy

escapement and a guaranteed power reserve of

approximately 70 hours. Like all Rolex Perpetual

movements, the 3285 is a certified Swiss chronometer, a

designation reserved for high-precision watches that have

successfully passed the Swiss Official Chronometer

Testing Institute (COSC) tests. The 3285 is equipped with

a Parachrom hairspring, offering greater resistance to

shocks and to temperature variations. Its architecture, in

common with all Oyster watch movements, makes it

singularly reliable.
