Rolex GMT-Master II, 40mm, 18k Yellow Gold, Ref# 126718GRNR-0001

Unworn Rolex GMT-Master II, 40mm, 18k Yellow Gold, Ref# 126718GRNR-0001 – New for 2023

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II marks the return of 18k Yellow Gold to the prestigious professional watch family. Elegant and versatile, this timepiece is the perfect luxury accessory for the modern traveler. The chronometer features a black lacquered dial with a crisp Chromalight display, offering a long-lasting blue glow as the perfect backdrop for luminous 18k Yellow Gold hour markers, which include rectangles, circles, and an inverted triangle at 12 o’clock.

The polished hour hand, bearing the Mercedes logo, and the Breguet-style sword-shaped minute hand are crafted from 18k Yellow Gold and filled with luminescent material that emits a long-lasting glow. The graceful second hand, with a round tip and a luminous circle in front of the arrow, is also made of 18k Yellow Gold.

This model’s high-tech feature is the second time zone, with an independent quick setting of the 18k Yellow Gold hour hand with a triangular luminous tip, showing “home” time in the first time zone. It can be read from the scale on the bezel. A well-readable minute scale is applied along the outer contour of the dial. The date display is located at the 3 o’clock position.

The ribbed, easy-to-grip Triplock 18k Yellow Gold screw-down crown features a triple water-resistance system and is decorated with the Rolex logo. The dial is covered by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating and a Cyclops lens at the 3 o’clock position.

The bi-directional 18k Yellow Gold bezel, with fluted edges for a secure grip, is topped by a two-tone Cerachrom bezel insert featuring graduations and PVD-engraved numbers in yellow gold. The new gray and black ceramic bezel insert introduces a brand-new color combination for GMT watches.

The model is powered by the in-house Rolex mechanical movement, Caliber 3285, containing 31 jewels and providing a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. This timepiece is presented on an 18k Yellow Gold Jubilee bracelet featuring brushed outer links and polished center links. The new hidden fastening system under the bezel ensures a seamless visual connection between the bracelet and the case. The bracelet features an Oysterlock folding clasp with Rolex’s patented Easylink extension system, allowing the bracelet to extend by approximately 5mm for added comfort.
