The GMT-Master, introduced in 1955, was developed to meet the needs of international pilots. The GMT-Master II, unveiled in 2005, has proved to be even more invaluable to those whose professions involve long-distance travel. Featuring a rotatable 24-hour graduated bezel and a separate 24-hour hand, it allows those who travel the world to read three different time zones. Two simultaneously.

chuck yeager
No person has pushed the limits of man and technology like Chuck Yeager. The year was 1947. Nobody knew if a fixedwing aeroplane could break the speed of sound or whether a human could survive the tremendous force of that kind of speed. He was already a legend among pilots when he took off in the X-1. Not only did he reach Mach 1 and create the first man-made sonic boom, he did it again 50 years later in an F-15 fighter. His rsum of accomplishments could fill several chapters in aviation history books.

Features
cerachrom bezel
Manufactured by Rolex from an extremely hard ceramic material since 2005, the exclusive Cerachrom bezel insert and monobloc bezel have excellent anti-corrosion properties and keep their vibrant colours over time. They are virtually scratchproof, and are unaffected by exposure to sunlight as well as to chlorinated or sea water. To inscribe the numerals and graduations on such a hard material, Rolex developed a unique process which culminates in their being coated with a thin layer of yellow gold or platinum. It takes 40 hours to produce each Cerachrom bezel. At Rolex, no measure is too extreme in the pursuit of beauty and function.

Features
easylink
An increase in temperature, altitude or physical activity may cause your wrists to expand and can even make wearing a watch uncomfortable. This is why Rolex invented and patented Easylink, an extension system that lets the wearer increase the bracelet length by about 5 mm to regain maximum comfort. Perfectly integrated into the watchs design and hidden beneath the clasp, the Easylink systems opening and closing mechanism is tested thousands of times in the most extreme conditions to guarantee reliability.

Features
In a mechanical watch, the oscillator is the guardian of time. Conventional oscillator hairsprings are made of ferromagnetic alloys, leaving them vulnerable to magnetic fields, temperature variations and shocks that interfere with their precision. After years of research, Rolex created the blue Parachrom hairspring, which is finer than a human hair. Crafted from a highly stable paramagnetic alloy that includes niobium and zirconium, it is insensitive to magnetic fields and up to 10 times more resistant to shocks. Historically, the unique blue colour of the hairspring has been a sign of prestige reserved for only the most accurate timepieces.

3186 movement
The GMT-Master II is equipped with calibre 3186, a selfwinding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. In addition to the conventional hour, minute and seconds hands, it features a 24-hour hand to display a second time zone. Like all Rolex Perpetual movements, the 3186 is a certified Swiss chronometer, a designation reserved for high-precision watches that have successfully passed the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) tests. The 3186 is equipped with a Parachrom hairspring, offering greater resistance to shocks and to temperature variations. Its architecture, in common with all Oyster watch movements, makes it singularly reliable.

The four simple words Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified on a Rolex watch dial mean that the very movement inside the timepiece has endured 15 days and nights of testing by COSC (Contrle Officiel Suisse des Chronomtres Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute), an independent notfor-profit association. To receive COSC certification as a Swiss chronometer, a watch must demonstrate extreme precision in a variety of positions and temperatures. Rolex is unique in the industry: this is the standard level of quality required of every Rolex wristwatch movement.
