Catalogue Note
The GMT Master II was relaunched in 2005 in celebration of its 50th anniversary. The new models have several improvements. The lugs, crown and crown guards have been enlarged giving the case an overall heavier appearance. The bezel with its innovative ceramic insert is not only very striking but also not affected by ultraviolet rays, is corrosion-resistant and virtually scratch proof. It is also fitted with the new Oyster bracelet. For a note on the history of the GMT Master model please see lot 6.
