For the first time, the Oyster Perpetual GMT‑Master II model made of Oystersteel steel is equipped with a Cerachrom bezel disc made of gray and black ceramics, introduced in 2023. The two new versions are equipped with Oyster and Jubilee bracelets, respectively. The green 24‑hour hand of the model shows not only the time of the second time zone. It takes the owner of the watch to another place connected with his life, and fills him with the emotions that accompany every traveler.
Gray‑black Cerachrom disc
An exquisite combination
The two-way rotating bezel of the new GMT‑Master II models is equipped with a two-color Cerachrom dial made of gray and black ceramics with a 24-hour graduated scale. The exquisite combination of these contrasting colors harmoniously and discreetly symbolizes the day and night hours. The notched inscriptions and numbers are covered with the thinnest layer of platinum applied using PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) technology for optimal readability of the readings.
Oystersteel steel
High-tech alloy
The new versions of the GMT‑Master II watch are made of Oystersteel steel, an alloy created exclusively for Rolex and known for its resistance to corrosion and impact. It has a unique radiance, retaining its original luster even under extreme operating conditions of the watch. This metal pays homage to the DNA of the model, which was originally offered only in steel.

1955
The release of the GMT‑Master model. This model is becoming a real tool for navigating through time. With an additional 24‑hour hand and a two—color rotating bezel with a graduated scale, it allows everyone who is often called New Horizons – pilots, ship captains, sailors, businessmen, ordinary travelers or military personnel — to know the time in two time zones at a glance.
1959
The two-tone bezel is made of aluminum instead of plexiglass for even greater impact and scratch resistance. The alloy is anodized to create different color shades on the surface and increase the hardness of the disc.
1982
A new mechanism. The release of a new caliber that allows you to adjust the hour hand independently of the minute and 24‑hour hands. The version with the new mechanism is called GMT‑Master II. In this regard, the first version of the model is presented with a burgundy and black bezel disc.
2005
The first ceramic bezel disc GMT‑Master II is the first Rolex watch to feature a ceramic bezel disc. This high-tech ceramic is extremely hard, it is almost impossible to scratch, and its color does not change under the influence of ultraviolet rays. In addition, it is inert in its chemical composition and is not susceptible to corrosion.
2022
Crown on the left side. In 2022, an unexpected interpretation of the GMT‑Master II model appears: the crown of the new version with a green and black Cerachrom disc, unlike its predecessors, is mounted on the left side of the case. Another feature of the watch concerns the dial with a date window at 9 o’clock.
2024
Grey‑black disc and Oystersteel steel. Rolex is launching two new versions of the GMT‑Master II watch, also equipped with a Cerachrom bezel in grey and black ceramic. In these Oystersteel steel versions, the emphasis is on a low‑key color scheme that allows you to subtly reveal the individuality of this watch with an additional 24-hour hand, the silhouette of which emphasizes the green color.
By presenting its latest creations, Rolex is reinterpreting some of its most iconic models.
