Wrist watch for 3 different time zones- Rolex GMT Master II

Rolex GMT Master II

The GMT can display time in two different time zones and the GMT II in three. Using the additional 12 hour hand which completes a 24 hour cycle in a single rotation, the GMT (and GMT II) uses a bi-directional rotatable bezel marked zero to twenty three allowing for a second time zone to be displayed with the additional 12 hour hand pointing to the bezel hour. The GMT II allows the additional 12 hour hand to be set independently from the hour hand thus allowing a third time zone.

It is very popular among commercial airline pilots. Setting the Rolex GMT Master II needs understanding of GMT or "Greenwich Mean Time". GMT is an international concept, and the watch was named after it. It is the same everywhere in the world. It does not depend on your location and does not change over time zones. For setting the time in different time zones, you may refer www.koniaris.com/rolex, in which all the settings are explained in details very nicely.
