The Rolex GMT-Master II with reference 126720VTNR is a unique model from the renowned GMT-Master II collection, introduced by Rolex in 2022. This model stands out due to its striking design elements and a technical innovation that is unusual for Rolex.
Key Features:
Case: The case is made of Oystersteel stainless steel and measures 40 mm, a classic size for Rolex sports models. Oystersteel is highly corrosion-resistant, giving the watch a robust and luxurious look.
Bezel: The rotating 24-hour bezel features a green and black color scheme, a combination that Rolex had not previously used. The bezel is crafted from Cerachrom ceramic, making it extremely scratch-resistant and resistant to UV radiation. The 24-hour graduation allows the reading of a second time zone.
Dial: The black dial features the typical Rolex Maxi markers and hands filled with Chromalight luminescent material, glowing blue in the dark. The hands are also crafted in stainless steel, with the 24-hour hand highlighted in green and featuring a triangular luminescent marker.
Special Feature – Left-Handed Design: One of the most distinctive aspects of the 126720VTNR is the placement of the crown and date window on the left side of the watch. This design is aimed particularly at left-handed individuals, which is rare in the luxury watch world. This unique feature gives the model a distinctive character and sets it apart from other Rolex GMT-Master II models.
Movement: The watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3285, an automatic in-house movement with a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. The Caliber 3285 features the Chronergy escapement, providing improved energy efficiency and reliability. Like all Rolex movements, it is certified as a Chronometer, ensuring the highest precision.
Functions:
- GMT Function: The watch displays two time zones simultaneously, with the 24-hour bezel allowing for a third time zone.
- Date Display: The date is displayed on the left side at 9 o'clock and changes instantly at midnight thanks to the Rapid-Setting function.
Water Resistance: Like all Rolex Oyster models, this watch is water-resistant to 100 meters, ensured by the screw-down case and crown.
Bracelet: The watch is equipped with the classic Oyster bracelet, made of stainless steel and featuring the Rolex Oysterlock safety clasp and Easylink extension, allowing for a 5mm extension of the bracelet.
