The feature which made the watch particularly useful to the pilots was the Rolex GMT’s ability to display time in two different time zones. Currently the Rolex GMT Master 2, which was released in 1983, can also incorporate a third time zone, whilst also having a sapphire crystal added to it’s display too. In 2006 Rolex released a 50th anniversary edition of the GMT. Featuring various technological advancements like Rolex’s Parachrom hairspring and a larger Triplock crown, the anniversary edition Rolex GMT also underwent a few aesthetic improvements including larger hands and a bezel made entirely out of ceramic material; something which greatly improved the watch’s resistance to damage.
One final feature of the Rolex GMT worth mentioning is it’s function as a compass. With the watch laid flat and the 24 hour hand pointed at the sun the 12 o’ clock marker on the dial will point North when in the Northern Hemisphere, and South when in the Southern Hemisphere.
