From aviators to Special Forces to dictators and intelligence officers, the Rolex GMT is a legend in our community
At Watches of Espionage, the Rolex GMT holds a special place, making the recent discontinuation of the Pepsi GMT-Master II an unwelcome surprise. Unveiled in 1954, the GMT-Master was designed as a utilitarian tool for pilots and jet-set business travelers with a second-time zone function, but the Rolex GMT also has a lesser-known yet impactful heritage in the military and intelligence.
In this video on the W.O.E. YouTube Channel, we’ll explore the Rolex GMT’s surprising ties to the military, special operations, and intelligence, as well as its transition to an icon of modern luxury.

Happy Hunting,

Hopefully Tudor can carry the torch and make a tool-piece pepsi GMT
The GMT Master/Master II used to be awesome tool watches… until the rich got involved and priced them out of availability.
Once again, the wealthy ruin everything.
What a great video. Well done guys.
