Why? Well, for that, we have to take a short trip back into collection’s history. The first GMT-Master was released in 1955. It bears the reference number 6542. Rolex had already conquered the sea with the Submariner and mountaintops with the Explorer, so it was only a matter of time before they took to the skies. There was no shortage of pilot’s watches at the time, but Pan Am needed a watch for its pilots that could display more than one time zone simultaneously. Rolex heeded the call and delivered. The resulting timepiece had an additional hour hand for tracking the time in another time zone and a two-tone red and blue bezel inspired by the colors of Pan American Airways.
