The history of the Rolex GMT-Master
The Rolex GMT-Master was launched in 1955 in response to the growing need for pilots to track multiple time zones during intercontinental flights. The main feature that sets the GMT-Master apart from other Rolex models is the bidirectional rotatable bezel with a 24-hour scale, combined with an additional hand for the second time zone. This innovation allowed pilots to simultaneously read the time in two different locations, facilitating aerial navigation and soon becoming an indispensable tool for airlines.
The most sought-after models of the Rolex GMT-Master
Over the years, the Rolex GMT-Master has undergone numerous evolutions while always staying true to its tradition. Among the most famous versions is the GMT-Master II, introduced in 1982, which offers greater flexibility in time zone management thanks to the independent movement of the hour hand. Modern models, such as the GMT-Master II “Batman” with the blue and black two-tone bezel or the “Pepsi” with the blue and red bezel, are among the most sought after by enthusiasts.
Jannik Sinner’s Rolex GMT-Master
In recent years, the Rolex GMT-Master has also become a highly valued accessory in the world of sports. Among the many internationally renowned athletes who wear it, Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner stands out. Sinner, who has quickly won the hearts of tennis fans around the world thanks to his extraordinary talent and determination, has often been seen wearing a Rolex GMT-Master, both on and off the court.
The young champion represents a new generation of athletes who combine their passion for sports with a refined sense of style. His Rolex GMT-Master is not just a symbol of success, but also a tribute to precision and resilience, qualities that perfectly reflect his approach to the game.
After the Submariner Date 41 mm Ref. 116610LN with a steel case and bracelet and black dial worn at the Australian Open, Jannik Sinner opted for the GMT-MASTER II in Oystersteel and Everose gold Ref. 126711CHNR.
