The <a href="http://www.watchuwant.com/rolex-watches#.VLw1_CvF98E" title="Buy Rolex Watches">Rolex GMT-Master II</a> is the greatest <a href="http://www.watchuwant.com/rolex-watches#.VLw1_CvF98E" title="Buy Rolex Watches">Rolex</a> pilot’s watch and one of the all-time “tool watch” greats regardless of manufacturer. This contemporary <a href="http://www.watchuwant.com/rolex-watches#.VLw1_CvF98E" title="Buy Rolex Watches">116718 GMT-Master II</a> combines the traditional strengths of a classic model with a ceramic bezel, stout milled clasp, and the latest anti-magnetic automatic <a href="http://www.watchuwant.com/rolex-watches#.VLw1_CvF98E" title="Buy Rolex Watches">Rolex</a> movement.

 Introduced in 1954 as a joint development with PAN-AM airlines, the <a href="http://www.watchuwant.com/rolex-watches#.VLw1_CvF98E" title="Buy Rolex Watches">Rolex 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 href="http://www.watchuwant.com/rolex-watches#.VLw1_CvF98E" title="Buy Rolex Watches">Rolex</a> has offered the GMT-Master II, which features two independent time zones on its dial and has the ability to calculate a third with the bezel. This <a href="http://www.watchuwant.com/rolex-watches#.VLw1_CvF98E" title="Buy Rolex Watches">116718 GMT Master-II </a>features the dual-time Caliber 3186, an automatic chronometer movement with <a href="http://www.watchuwant.com/rolex-watches#.VLw1_CvF98E" title="Buy Rolex Watches">Rolex</a>‘s latest parachrom blue antimagnetic hairspring. Tougher than its predecessors and just as precise, this is the cutting edge of timing technology in the <a href="http://www.watchuwant.com/rolex-watches#.VLw1_CvF98E" title="Buy Rolex Watches">Rolex</a> professional watch line-up.
 The Oyster bracelet features <a href="http://www.watchuwant.com/rolex-watches#.VLw1_CvF98E" title="Buy Rolex Watches">Rolex</a>‘s 18-karat yellow gold. <a href="http://www.watchuwant.com/rolex-watches#.VLw1_CvF98E" title="Buy Rolex Watches">Rolex</a> ranks among the few watchmakers that operates its own foundry and blends its own gold. The result is seamless precious metal quality. A bezel of<a href="http://www.watchuwant.com/rolex-watches#.VLw1_CvF98E" title="Buy Rolex Watches"> Rolex Cerachrom</a> ceramic resists scratches and scuffs to maintain an unblemished appearance.
 The Oysterclasp now is milled from solid gold, 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.
 Available from watchuwant.com with full factory boxes, papers, and documents of provenance, this <a href="http://www.watchuwant.com/rolex-watches#.VLw1_CvF98E" title="Buy Rolex Watches">Rolex GMT-Master II 116718</a> is an outstanding example of a living legend.
