The Rolex GMT Master II iterations


The Oyster Perpetual GMT- Master was launched in the year 1955, where it witnessed the rapid expansion of the intercontinental travel. Due to this it even became the official watch of the Pan American Airways. Three years later the bezel of the watch was also switched from Plexiglass to anodized aluminium. In the year 1982, we saw a new transformation with the introduction of the hour hand that could be set independently of the other hands. It earned this watch a suffix ‘ii,’ thus it came to be known as GMT master ii. The original GMT watch had the conventional hour hand, minute hand and the 24 hour hand synchronized where you had to put the crown out of the second position to set the date while pulling the crown out the third position to local hours hand.

But, now with the GMT Master II, in the third position, you are required to set the GMT hours and minutes while pulling the crown to the second position to set the date and local hours to get simpler and an intuitive mode of operation.
