Introduced in 1955 as a joint development with PAN-AM airlines, the <a title="Buy Rolex Watches" href="/product-category/preowned-watches/?filter_brand=865029&filter_model=10221572">GMT-Master</a> was a certified chronometer with a date and a 24-hour hand. The professional functions of the watch were accessed by setting the 24-hour hand to Greenwich Mean Time and using the bidirectional bezel to find the local time when approaching a specific airport. Thereby, pilots could keep their watches synchronized regardless of global location, but the convenience of local time was readily accessible.
Since 1983, <a title="Buy Rolex Watches" href="/watches/rolex/">Rolex </a>has offered the <a title="Buy Rolex Watches" href="http://www.watchuwant.com/rolex-watches#.VI4ZkTHF98E">GMT-Master II</a>, which features two independent time zones on its dial and has the ability to calculate a third with the bezel. This 116713 GMT Master-II features the dual-time Caliber 3186, an automatic chronometer movement with Rolex’s latest parachrom blue antimagnetic hairspring. Tougher than its predecessors and just as precise, this is the cutting edge of timing technology in the Rolex professional watch line-up.

Both beautiful and rugged this combination of Rolex alloys is versatile enough for work or play. A bezel of Rolex Cerachrom ceramic resists scratches and scuffs to maintain an unblemished appearance. The Oysterclasp now is milled from solid steel, and the result is a solid impression on the wrist that earlier stamped Oysterclasps can never approach. Its 5mm “Easylink” tool-free adjustment permits quick resizing if a wrist expands or contracts in the course of a day.
