The Rolex Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master with its iconic bezel in red and blue is back (Note: The original GMT-Master was launched in 1955). This time, the half-red, half-blue bezel on the 2014 GMT-Master II showcased at the 2014 BaselWorld watch fair is in Cerachrom.

This 2014 GMT-Master II model features the second time zone display (with the 24-hour indication on the bezel) and is powered by the chronometer-certified Calibre 3186 automatic movement which is equipped with a blue Parachrom hairspring.

The GMT-Master II (Reference 116719 BLRO – 78209) is in a 40mm diameter case in 18K white gold. The bracelet is in 18K white gold and its length can be conveniently increased by around 5mm thanks to the Easylink rapid extension system that Rolex has patented.

The gold explains why this Rolex GMT-Master II is priced at CHF36,500 (Swiss francs) or around US$41,100 / SGD52,000 / MYR135,000.

 

 

With the scratch-resistant blue and red Cerachrom bezel inserts that are also unaffected by ultraviolet rays, the glorious blue and red colours on this particular Rolex GMT-Master II will remain timeless.
