Rolex GMT Master II "Root Beer" - Ref. 126711CHNR

Heritage & Design

Introduced in 1955, the Rolex GMT-Master was originally developed for international airline pilots, allowing them to track multiple time zones simultaneously. Released in 2018, the GMT-Master II Ref. 126711CHNR reintroduced the distinctive brown and black bezel combination associated with the vintage “Root Beer” GMT-Master models. Combining Oystersteel with Rolex's proprietary 18ct Everose gold, this reference offers a contemporary interpretation of one of the collection's most recognisable colour schemes.

Case & Details

This GMT-Master II features a 40mm Oystersteel and 18ct Everose gold case with a black dial, applied luminous hour markers and a date display at 3 o'clock. Its bidirectional rotating 24-hour bezel incorporates a two-tone brown and black Cerachrom ceramic insert, complemented by an Everose gold GMT hand for tracking a second time zone. A sapphire crystal with Cyclops magnifier and two-tone Oyster bracelet complete the design. Water resistance is rated to 100 metres.
