Rolex GMT-Master II „Sprite“

Product detailed description

The Rolex GMT-Master II “Sprite” is one of the most distinctive modern variations of Rolex’s legendary travel watch. Introduced in 2022, it was the first GMT-Master II to feature an unconventional layout with the crown and date window on the left side of the case. Its distinctive green-and-black bezel has earned it the nickname “Sprite” among collectors. This configuration, featuring a steel Oyster bracelet, combines an original design with the practical function of tracking multiple time zones.

The Oystersteel case has a diameter of 40 mm and is complemented by a bidirectionally rotating bezel with a two-tone green-and-black Cerachrom ceramic insert and a 24-hour scale. The black dial features prominent hour markers and hands with Chromalight luminescence, while the green GMT hand allows for tracking an additional time zone. Distinctive features include the Triplock crown on the left side of the case and the date window at the 9 o’clock position, equipped with a Cyclops lens. The watch is fitted with a three-link Oyster steel bracelet with an Oysterlock folding safety clasp and the Easylink system for extending the bracelet by approximately 5 mm. It is water-resistant to 100 meters.

Inside, it is powered by the Rolex 3285 in-house automatic movement, equipped with the Chronergy escapement, a blue paramagnetic Parachrom hairspring, and Paraflex shock absorbers. The movement allows for independent adjustment of the local hour hand without stopping the watch, while the 24-hour hand displays the reference time. In combination with the rotating bezel, up to three time zones can be tracked simultaneously. The power reserve is approximately 70 hours, and Superlative Chronometer certification guarantees an accuracy of −2/+2 seconds per day after casing.

The Rolex GMT-Master II 126720VTNR “Sprite” stands out with its unconventional left-side crown placement, green-and-black ceramic bezel, and sporty Oyster bracelet. It combines the proven construction of the GMT-Master II with an unusual design that distinctly sets this model apart from the others in the collection.
