Rolex introduced its new-look GMT-Master II, packed with cutting-edge features, at the international watch and jewellery trade show Baselworld, held in Switzerland in March.
The watch, with its second time zone, is at the forefront of Rolex’s 2018 selection. It includes a brand new Rolex movement, calibre 3285, and offers a distinctive new image. For the first time, this cosmopolitan watch with a bidirectional rotatable bezel and a two-colour Cerachrom insert in red and blue ceramic is available in Oystersteel, and on a Jubilee bracelet. The GMT-Master II range also features 18 ct Everose gold for the first time. Two new versions were introduced, both with a bidirectional rotatable bezel and two-colour Cerachrom insert in a black and newly-developed brown ceramic.
The Oyster Perpetual Datejust 36 and the Oyster Perpetual Datejust 31, classic watches par excellence, are equipped with Rolex movements at the forefront of watchmaking technology. They are offered with a large selection of new dials and a redesigned case. Rolex’s expertise in gem-setting is displayed on an Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona in 18 ct Everose gold set with rainbow-hued sapphires as well as diamonds.
The new Oyster Perpetual Rolex Deepsea is equipped with cutting-edge calibre 3235, a consummate demonstration of Rolex technology. It features a redesigned case with a broader Oyster bracelet as well as a correspondingly adapted Oysterlock folding safety clasp and Rolex Glidelock and Fliplock extension systems. Like all Rolex timepieces, these new watches are covered by Rolex’s own Superlative Chronometer certification – symbolized by the green seal – guaranteeing that they satisfy performance criteria which exceed watchmaking norms and standards in terms of precision, power reserve, waterproofness and self-winding.
