2021 Luxury Rolex GMT-Master “Root Beer”

Root beer reminds us of simpler times – the days of pouring drinks over ice cream instead of ice cubes. But we had to grow up somehow, and luckily for us, we got something just as sweet with the Rolex GMT Root Beer bezel.
Rolex first introduced the GMT-Master in 1954 in response to the aviation world’s need for a timepiece to help pilots and crew keep track of time while traveling across multiple time zones. The result is a sports watch that includes a 24-hour bezel that corresponds to the GMT hand on the dial to track two different time zones simultaneously. Since its release, the fake Rolex GMT-Master has grown into an impressive collection of replica watches worn by everyone from professional athletes and celebrities to pilots and military personnel.
Now, it may not be as satisfying as your childhood drink, but the Rolex Root Beer GMT is certainly a fun way to indulge in a luxury watch. With that in mind, it probably goes without saying that not everyone agrees. Some Rolex GMT-Master enthusiasts find it hard to accept the idea of a brown color going further than a leather strap. However, for those who prefer root Rolex beer bezels, these watches are a real treat.
When Rolex released its updated Root Beer Bezel in 2018, it really reinvigorated collectors’ admiration for this unique timepiece. For starters, we hadn’t seen a Root Beer GMT in over a decade, and while it was never the most popular GMT model among collectors, it was appreciated for its unique aesthetic and the mark it left on the collection. So when Rolex replica reintroduced the Root Beer Bezel in 2018, many were shocked to see its return.
We know, the biggest and most notable upgrade to the bezel is the use of Rolex’s proprietary ceramic material, which the brand calls Cerachrom. Looking at some of the earlier root beer bezels made from aluminum, one can see that many of them had scratched and faded over the years. By using this new, incredibly durable, and fade-resistant ceramic material as the bezel, Rolex is able to ensure that these warm colors remain more or less indefinitely. The two-tone Root Beer bezel made of ceramic is also noteworthy because it is extremely difficult to manufacture. Rolex could have just gone with an all-brown Cerachrom bezel, so the effort to return to a two-tone bezel, but in more modern colors and materials, is certainly noteworthy.
The dial has also received a much-needed upgrade. Instead of a brown sunburst as before, the dial is glossy black with Everose gold markers applied and filled with a blue Chromalight luminous glow. It’s a watch that makes you smile, as brown is still an unlikely color to appear on a watch. However, the way it blends with the lacquered black dial and the warm 18K ever-rose gold makes it feel effortlessly stylish and modern.
