What Does GMT Stand for Rolex?

In Rolex watches, GMT stands for **Greenwich Mean Time.

It signifies the watch's functionality to display a second time zone, making it ideal for travelers and those with international connections.

Rolex GMT Master Technical Features:

  • GMT hand: Rolex GMT watches feature a dedicated GMT hand that makes one full rotation in 24 hours. This hand points to a 24-hour graduated bezel, allowing you to read the time in a different time zone.
  • Dual time zones: While the regular hour hand shows the local time, the GMT hand can be set to indicate the time in another part of the world.
  • Rotating bezel: The 24-hour bezel can be rotated to align with the GMT hand, allowing you to track a third time zone if needed.

GMT History

The GMT function was originally developed in the 1950s for Pan Am pilots to track multiple time zones during long-haul flights. Rolex's GMT-Master, launched in 1954, was the first wristwatch to popularize this complication.
