The GMT-Master

Two time zones, engineered for the jet age.

Developed with Pan Am in 1955 for transatlantic pilots, the GMT-Master added a 24-hour hand and rotating bezel to track a second time zone. Its two-tone bezels — 'Pepsi', 'Batman', 'Root Beer' — are watch design folklore.

The Maison

The House of Rolex

Est. 1905 · Geneva, Switzerland

Rolex set the terms of the modern wristwatch. The Oyster case of 1926 made it the first waterproof watch; the Perpetual rotor of 1931 made it self-winding. A century on, every reference is a certified chronometer — and the most recognised object in watchmaking.
