Unworn Pre-Owned Rolex GMT II ‘Pepsi’ - Reference 35266 - Dated 2018 - Original Papers - Rolex box.
The new Rolex GMT-Master II was unveiled at Baselworld 2018. For the very first time, the red and blue, 24-hour graduated, UV and scratch resistant Cerachrom ceramic bezel insert is presented on the Jubilee bracelet.
Due to its distinctive aesthetics, the GMT-Master is an instantly recognisable timepiece. Though updated, the traditional hour, minute and seconds hands remain true to that of original models, as do the 18ct gold fashioned hour markers. Displaying a long-lasting blue luminescence called Chromalight. This blue glow replaces the green of earlier models, appearing brighter to dark adjusted eyes.
Crafted from stainless steel, the case is measured at 40mm. Equipped with the red and blue bidirectional rotating bezel, similar to those used on the original 1955 GMT-Master. The 24-hour engraved graduations are to be used with the red GMT hand, allowing two times to be displayed simultaneously; either the local time and reference time, or the local time and another time zone. The date window displays that of the local time.
The Jubilee bracelet consists of a supple five-link system, designed for optimal comfort. Made from durable stainless steel, this Jubilee bracelet features the ‘Oysterlock’ safety clasp with the ‘Easylink’ 5mm comfort extension link enabling subtle sizing adjustments without any tools.
Powered by the new Swiss certified chronometer (COSC) 3285 self-winding mechanical movement. Fitted with over 10 patent applications this movement offers fundamental improvements in terms of power reserve, precision and resistance to shocks and magnetism. The new Calibre 3285 offers an extraordinary power reserve of approximately 70 hours and is exemplary of Rolex technology.
