Rolex GMT-Master II "Root Beer" 126711CHNR (2024)

The Root Beer is the warmest watch in the GMT-Master II family. This 2024 example combines Oystersteel with 18ct Everose gold, Rolex's own rose gold alloy made to hold its colour over time, and tops it with a black and brown Cerachrom bezel. The nickname goes back to the brown and gold two-tone GMTs of the 1970s, and this modern version carries the same character in scratch-resistant, fade-proof ceramic.

The black dial is finished with Everose gold hands and hour markers, matching the gold crown, bezel edge and polished centre links of the bracelet. Chromalight lume glows blue in low light, and a sapphire crystal with Cyclops lens sits over the date at 3 o'clock.

Inside is Rolex's calibre 3285, a Superlative Chronometer accurate to -2/+2 seconds per day, with a 70-hour power reserve and an independently adjustable hour hand for changing local time without stopping the watch. The 24-hour bezel and GMT hand track a second time zone at a glance, and the Triplock screw-down crown gives 100 metres of water resistance.

It is fitted on a two-tone Oyster bracelet with an Oysterlock safety clasp and Easylink 5mm comfort extension.
