REASON 1: THE BEZEL Most people who buy a GMT-Master I or II choose the Pepsi. Why? Well, for that, we have to take a short trip back into collection’s history. The first GMT-Master was released in 1955. It bears the reference number 6542. Rolex had already conquered the sea with the Submariner and mountaintops with the Explorer, so it was only a matter of time before they took to the skies. There was no shortage of pilot’s watches at the time, but Pan Am needed a watch for its pilots that could display more than one time zone simultaneously. Rolex heeded the call and delivered. The resulting timepiece had an additional hour hand for tracking the time in another time zone and a two-tone red and blue bezel inspired by the colors of Pan American Airways.

REASON 2: THE DIAL The latest Root Beer’s dial has 18-karat yellow gold hour markers and hands. Even the GMT-Master II inscription at 6 o’clock is gold. Overall, the look reminds me of the gilt dials found on vintage Rolexes. This makes the reference 126711CHNR special among other Rolex GMTs, as they feature white gold markers and hands. More importantly, the combination of gold markers and hands, a black and brown bezel, and a two-tone stainless steel and rose gold bracelet lends the reference 126711CHNR a very warm feel.

Reason 3: THE BRACELET The ref. 126715CHNR’s bracelet has center links in polished 18-karat Everose gold and outer links in satin-brushed stainless steel with polished edges. It is also fitted with the Easylink rapid extension system that enables the wearer to increase the bracelet length by approximately 5 mm, providing additional comfort. However, this bracelet is an absolute no-go for certain people since they had expected it to come on a Jubilee (and not an Oyster) bracelet. In fact, some argue that this Root Beer model would be an incredible—if not perfect—watch if it were on a Jubilee bracelet. This just goes to show how greatly a watch’s individual features and components can influence how the watch as a whole is perceived.
