A Submariner became the base for this new watch, and several important modifications were made to turn a Sub into the GMT-Master that we know today. Rolex added a date function with a cyclops lens magnifier, GMT complication, and two-colored bezel to provide long-haul pilots with the info they needed as they circumnavigated the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GMT-Master’s 24-hour hand works in conjunction with the rotating bezel to make tracking a second time zone incredibly simple. When the bezel’s triangle is aligned to 12 o’clock, the red arrow hand points to the time on a 24-hour military scale, which in itself is valuable as a day\/night indicator (at least if you’re a cave explorer). The usefulness of the complication really shines when the wearer rotates the bezel so that the numbers around the bezel correspond the a 2\u003csup\u003end\u003c\/sup\u003e time zone (such as Greenwich Mean Time), allowing the watch to track any two time zones in the world at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eFive decades later, the GMT-Master and its “Pepsi” bezel has become a true icon of the watch world. Instantly recognizable and eternally stylish, the watch represents vintage Rolex at its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product_details\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":5369668481,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/Rolex_GMT_1675_AS01031_2.jpg?v=1438876803","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/rolex-gmt-master-1675-as01031","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
