Feature: 5 Rolex Professional Models You Can’t Afford To Miss
Whether you’re after a watch to accompany you while climbing the highest mountain, crawling in the darkest cave, or diving in the deepest depths of the ocean, a Rolex watch can provide you with something that’s up to the challenge. That said, the brand’s tool watches such as the GMT-Master—originally made for pilots—can still be worn on the ground by those who have never even been in a cockpit. On that note, prepare to feast your eyes on our favourite Rolex Professional models right now.
Rolex Submariner 116610 LV
The Submariner is one of the most instantly recognisable watches in the world, as well as one of the most popular dive watches out there. This model has earned the nickname of “Hulk” thanks to its green dial and bezel—a step up from the previous “Kermit” which boasts a green bezel with a black dial instead. This all-green watch face perfectly complements the stainless steel of the case and bracelet and has become a highly collectable piece—and we can see why!
Rolex Daytona 116500 LN
Famed for its link to American actor and heartthrob, Paul Newman, the Rolex Daytona is one of the most popular chronographs around—in fact, Paul Newman’s Daytona itself is one of the most expensive watches ever to be sold at auction. Named after the Daytona race circuit in Florida, this chronograph has become an icon in the world of race car driving. With an easy-to-read dial featuring the classic three sub dials and a tachymeter for easy speed calculations, this is the ultimate drivers watch and symbol of classic cool.
Rolex GMT-Master 16750
This GMT-Master possesses possibly one of Rolex’s most famed bezels, with the classic “Pepsi” colourway of red and blue—used to help differentiate between day and night, of course. The GMT-Master was created in 1954 and was originally intended for pilots of now defunct airline Pan Am, providing them a watch with a second time zone. This vintage piece dates back to 1988, making it perfect for those in favour of some retro charm.
Rolex Explorer II 226570
There’s no prizes for guessing what the Explorer is built for. Whether scaling a mountain or going for a spot of caving, this is the Rolex for you. This Explorer II features the easily recognisable white dial with the classic orange 24-hour hand and “Explorer II” branding. What’s more, this is also the watch of choice for Prince Harry, who owns a special edition piece gifted to him whilst he was in the Apache helicopter regiment.
Rolex Yacht-Master 116655
Introduced back in 1992, the Yacht-Master was Rolex’s first original model in 28 years after the release of the Daytona in 1964. With the intended audience of this piece being adventurers and sportsmen alike, it’s a handsome all-rounder for most. This model features a slick black and gold colourway, with a sporty rubber strap, hailing it the first Rolex ever to have the flexible material as the bracelet.
