The Pilot's Watch

Rolex GMT-Master

The Rolex GMT Master was developed in collaboration with Pan American Airways, as in the 1940s and 50s, the flight distances were getting bigger and the pilots had to travel through multiple time zones. Pilots used the extra pointer to display the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) on the Lynette, which led to the name Rolex GMT Master. Although Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) was replaced by Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) in the aviation industry in 1972, the term GMT is still known and used in the name of the GMT Master.

Shine at the highest level

Gold

Rolex uses only 18ct gold, a noble alloy of 75% pure gold and other elements such as silver and copper to produce yellow, white and the exclusive rose gold alloy - Everose gold. The exact composition of the alloys remains a Rolex trade secret, guaranteeing exceptional durability and unique shine.

Rolex GMT "Pepsi"

Eine Rolex bringt Farbe ins Leben. Geht es um die begehrtesten Uhrenmodelle der letzten zwei Jahre ist die aktuelle „Pepsi“ Rolex GMT-Master II in Edelstahl sicher ganz weit vorne dabei. Die Referenz 126710 BLRO hat der Stahl-GMT nach über zehn Jahren der Abstinenz wieder ihre typische Farbkombination zurückgebracht.

An eternal irritation

Who hasn't experienced this? Travelling by plane from Japan to the USA, adjusting your world clock to the local conditions, but then the shock: the date is wrong! The reason: that darned International Date Line. A circumstance that already caused problems for Jules Verne's hero Phileas Fogg on his journey around the world in 80 days.
