Rolex GMT Master
Strap the Rolex Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master on to your wrist and you have not only a selfwinding waterproof watch but also an instrument that allows you to simultaneously check the time in any two different time zones you wish. (Rolex GMT watches)Created in response to demand from professional aviators, the GMT-Master II is equipped with a device for rapidily moving the normal hour hand in one-hour jumps.
This makes it possible to momentarily display the time in a time zone different to the two that have previously been set. All that is required is to locate the hour of the new time zone on the rotatable bezel in line with the hand with the triangular tip. To return to the original time zone, the bezel is reset with its triangular marker aligned with the 12 position on the dial.
The GMT Line of Rolex sport watches have been my favorite. Unlike the Submariner, Sea-Dweller, Explorer, or Daytona, I always had a need for tracking multiple time zones. Moreover, I find that the black bezel GMTs were the best looking watches; giving you the Sub Look with the 24HR functionality.
The faithful have always prefered the blue/red inserts on the bezels.
Until this year, only the original GMT Masters were available in black. However, since its discontinuation,the Rolex GMT watches IIs are available in all three bezel color combinations (blue/red, black/burgundy, and all black). Furthermore, year 2000 brought another change in the Rolex sport line, the SEL (Solid-End-Link) bracelets.
