The Rolex GMT Master II: Innovation and versatility
Rolex's GMT Master II is an iconic travel watch, first released in 1983 with the pioneering ability to adjust the hour hand independently. This makes it an essential tool for travellers navigating multiple time zones.
Featuring a sturdy 40mm Oyster case in corrosion-resistant 906L Oystersteel or precious metals, the GMT Master II offers durability and timeless style. The patented Cerachrom ceramic bezel is highly resistant to scratches and fading, with bold dual-color options that have become hallmarks of the collection.
Under the hood, the GMT Master II houses Rolex’s Caliber 3285, a Superlative Chronometer certified movement with a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. Equipped with a Parachrom hairspring, the movement provides resistance against shocks and temperature fluctuations, ensuring reliable timekeeping.
The watch’s design combines sporty functionality with refined elegance. Options between the Oyster and Jubilee bracelets, alongside iconic bezel colours, give wearers a broad choice to suit their style. The GMT Master II is cherished not only as a professional tool but as a status symbol worldwide.
At Kettle Club, we offer a premium selection of pre-owned Rolex GMT Master II watches including sought-after versions like the “Pepsi,” “Batman,” “Root Beer,” and the rare “Sprite.” Every watch is thoroughly authenticated and inspected by our experts to guarantee quality and authenticity.
Discover your ideal Rolex GMT Master II and embrace the heritage of one of Rolex’s most legendary timepieces.
