Trap rapper Sfera Ebbasta of Italy, who recently released the single “Italiano,” is wearing a Rolex GMT Master II ”Root Beer” in 18k Everose gold with a black dial on an oyster bracelet and a case width of 40mm.

This model is a nod to the classic Rolex vintage GMT-Master models, which had brown-and-yellow bezel inserts, hence the nickname “Root Beer.”

About the Watch

The Rolex GMT Master II “Root Beer” is one of Rolex’s most distinctive timepieces. It has been in existence for a long time and has long been a favorite of many.

Rolex’s 904L stainless steel is used for most of the casing, with Everose gold accents on the bezel and crown. It has a satin-brushed front profile, with the exception of the bezel clenching and mirror-polished steel case sides.

The casing is both solid and slim, measuring 40mm in diameter and 48mm lug to lug around the wrist (with the exception of the fixed base links of the bracelet). It is also 12.2mm thick, which is appropriate given that the watch is practically a precious metal endowed tool timepiece. As a result, the watch has a formal and practical appearance. The Cerachrom bezel, named the current “Rootbeer” arrangement, combines black and brown ceramic.

The Rolex GMT Master II 126711CHNR “Rootbeer” is water-resistant to 100 meters. Besides, it features a triplock screw-down crown similar to those present on Rolex Submariner variants. The GMT Master II’s triple seal system is highly durable and secure, prompting many to assume it can go deeper than its specified requirements.

The Rootbeer has a glossy black dial with large lume panels in the Everose gold-framed circular, baton, and triangle indicators. The polished black is surprisingly legible, given that no AR treatments are included in Rolex’s specs. Scratching and wearing are common problems with anti-reflective coatings. The hands are fashioned in Everose gold for greater resistance to wear and rust with time, with lollipop seconds hand, a pencil minute hand, and a Mercedes hour hand. The famous Rolex Cyclops amplifies the black-on-white date display at 3 o’clock for easier visibility.

The physical personification of luxury, the blend of heaviness produced by the 904L steel and Everose gold, is incredibly pleasant on the wrist.

The link’s two steel shoulder components are satin-brushed, while the Everose component’s interior and larger element is mirror finished.

The Oysterclasp is extremely secure and could never open accidentally or on purpose. The EasyLink adjustability technology is housed within this sturdy clasp. This technique allows owners to make quick adjustments without dealing with any hassles. With a bit of tug underneath that lever, you may slide the clasp’s anchor to add or remove 5mm – practically adding or removing a link.

The in-house manufacture caliber 3285 is found within this Rolex GMT Master II. The 3285 extends the timepiece’s power reserve to 70 hours, an improvement over the preceding 48 hours.

The Rolex GMT-Master II Root Beer is a timepiece that has divided opinion. Either you adore it, have it, or don’t, as this isn’t the place to be on the fence. Besides, it has an unmistakable aesthetic and is way too striking.
