6542 Gmt Master

The Rolex 6542 GMT-Master, born in the mid-1950s, was crafted for Pan Am pilots needing to track multiple time zones—kind of brilliant, right—and yeah, that original Bakelite bezel is pure vintage magic. At Tropical Watch, we seriously appreciate how this reference laid the groundwork for one of the most iconic travel watches ever, blending utility and style in a way that still feels fresh and, honestly, a little thrilling even decades later.
