Rolex Gmt Master History

The Rolex GMT-Master, originally designed in the 1950s for Pan Am pilots, is a total icon—seriously, it changed the game for travelers everywhere. Its bold two-tone bezel wasn’t just for looks; it helped track multiple time zones, which was a pretty big deal back then. At Tropical Watch, we’re hooked on these legendary timepieces, especially the rare tropical dial versions that have aged into one-of-a-kind works of art.
