Rolex GMT-Master II

The Rolex GMT-Master II 16760, affectionately nicknamed the "Fat Lady," holds a special place in Rolex history as the first GMT-Master II model, introduced in the mid-1980s. Its 40mm stainless steel case, slightly thicker than its predecessors, accommodates the then-new Caliber 3085 movement, which allowed for the independent adjustment of the 24-hour GMT hand—a groundbreaking innovation at the time.

The watch features the iconic black and red “Coke” bezel, crafted from anodized aluminum, which has become synonymous with this model. The glossy black dial is adorned with luminous markers and hands, ensuring excellent legibility in low light. Paired with a robust Oyster bracelet, the GMT-Master II 16760 offers a blend of sporty functionality and timeless style. Water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet), it remains a reliable tool for travelers and collectors alike. The "Fat Lady" is celebrated not only for its design but also for its pivotal role in shaping the modern GMT-Master line.
