VIDEO: While all eyes are on the Pepsi, here’s the Rolex GMT-Master II in Oystersteel and Everose (ref. 126711CHNR)

In the wee hours of this morning, as I was recording this voice-over, it occurred to me that the only watch from the new Rolex GMT-Master II collection currently not receiving a massive amount of coverage at Basel 2018 was the one in the middle – with both Oystersteel and Everose elements, the two-tone, or as Rolex call it, Rolesor model. It just so happens that, at this point in time, it’s the one I’m most fixated on. I think, without stealing too much of my own thunder, it’s the way that all the colours, finishings, materials, and fine details come together – and play off one another. I’m sure that once the Pepsi sugar high has worn off a little, the glittering Rolex GMT-Master II in Oystersteel and Everose will have its time in the sun, but we thought we’d shine a little light on it early.

Baselworld 2018 – Oris Big Crown ProPilot Alarm Limited Edition

An alarm is often loud, obtrusive and annoying, simply to remind you to do something at a specific point in the day. Whether it is waking you up, brushing your teeth, leaving home in time for the bus, or simply checking if you’ve won that superb vintage watch during an online auction. There are watches, however, that exchange this loud, obtrusive annoying interruption into a mechanical wonder, just like this Oris Big Crown ProPilot Alarm Limited Edition, set to be introduced during Baselworld 2018.
