Rolex GMT Master II "Root Beer" Steel & Everose 126711CHNR

Overview 

The Rolex GMT-Master II 126711CHNR, affectionately known as the "Root Beer," is a remarkable fusion of vintage-inspired design and modern craftsmanship. This model pairs Rolex’s robust Oystersteel with luxurious Everose gold, creating a distinctive two-tone look that exudes sophistication. The signature feature is the black-and-brown Cerachrom ceramic bezel, a nod to the original Root Beer models from the 1970s, now updated with a scratch-resistant, fade-proof finish that maintains its sharp color over time. This unique color combination makes the 126711CHNR instantly recognizable and offers a warm, versatile aesthetic that feels equally at home in both formal and casual settings.

The 126711CHNR’s 40mm case is crafted from Oystersteel and features an Everose gold crown and bezel, showcasing Rolex’s commitment to durability and luxury. This combination of metals not only enhances its resilience but also adds an appealing contrast that is distinctive without being overly flashy. Complemented by the Everose gold center links on the Oyster bracelet, this model has a unique presence on the wrist, providing a balance between robustness and elegance. The watch is further equipped with the Oysterlock clasp and Easylink extension system, allowing wearers to adjust the bracelet for optimal comfort in various settings.

The black dial of the 126711CHNR is classic Rolex, with luminous markers and hands that ensure high legibility in all light conditions. The Everose gold accents on the hands and markers add a touch of refinement, while the striking GMT hand in a rich, warm hue complements the bezel’s brown half, providing easy reading of a second time zone. Rolex’s Chromalight display guarantees exceptional readability in low-light conditions, making it a practical choice for travelers. This focus on both form and function encapsulates Rolex’s approach to creating high-performance timepieces that also serve as elegant accessories.

Powering the GMT-Master II 126711CHNR is Rolex’s Calibre 3285, an advanced automatic movement known for its precision and durability. This movement features a Chronergy escapement and Parachrom hairspring, both designed to enhance shock and magnetic resistance. With a 70-hour power reserve, the watch offers reliable performance even after a few days of rest. The 126711CHNR represents a seamless blend of Rolex’s technical prowess and timeless style, making it a favorite among collectors who appreciate the GMT-Master’s history alongside contemporary innovations in watchmaking.
