GMT-Master II Ceramic (2005-2017)

GMT-Master

In the early 1950’s, Pan American Airlines partnered up with Rolex to design a watch for their pilots. The result, released in 1954, was the Rolex GMT-Master (Ref. 6542): a watch that tracks two time zones using a 24-hour hand (in addition to the 12-hour hand) and bezel. While GMT watches are abundant (at all price points) in today’s market, the concept was very new in the early 1950’s. Pan America provided Rolex with the perfect opportunity to create the best GMT watch on the market – and Rolex delivered.
