Why choose this model?
Modern GMT identity
The GMT-Master II was created to serve international pilots and travelers, and the 126713GRNR continues this mission with dual-time functionality that remains both practical and intuitive.
Grey and black Cerachrom bezel
The bi-color ceramic bezel distinguishes day and night hours in a subtle, monochromatic palette. Its understated tones give the watch a more refined and contemporary aesthetic compared to traditional colorways.
Yellow Rolesor construction
The blend of Oystersteel with 18 ct yellow gold adds warmth and depth without excess. Gold elements — bezel, crown, and center links — elevate the watch while preserving its sporty DNA.
Jubilee bracelet refinement
The five-piece Jubilee bracelet enhances comfort and flexibility on the wrist, while polished yellow-gold center links bring visual balance and elegance to the overall design.
Calibre 3285 performance
Powered by Rolex’s in-house Calibre 3285, the watch offers a 70-hour power reserve, Chronergy escapement, and independently adjustable hour hand — ensuring precision, reliability, and ease of travel.
Collector’s appeal & investment perspective
The “Zombie” nickname reflects the model’s distinctive grey-and-black personality — understated, powerful, and instantly recognizable to insiders. As one of the more refined two-tone GMT configurations, the 126713GRNR occupies a unique position in the modern Rolex lineup.
Strong demand, recognizable aesthetics, and the enduring appeal of the GMT-Master line support its long-term desirability and stable value on the secondary market.
A GMT-Master for those who prefer quiet authority
The GMT-Master II “Zombie” is not about loud contrasts or vintage nostalgia. It is a watch chosen for balance — between sport and elegance, steel and gold, functionality and presence.
