Rolex GMT-Master II 2025: Two new highlights made of gold, ceramic, and tiger iron
In addition to the much-discussed Land-Dweller, the Geneva manufacturer has also introduced two new variants of the GMT-Master II – and both are impressive. Whether a technological masterpiece or a natural wonder: These new releases make collectors' hearts race.
Sprite 2.0 – The GMT-Master II Ref. 126729VTNR in white gold with Cerachrom dial
Fans of the so-called "Sprite" variant (crown on the left, green-black bezel) can rejoice – it is back. This time as reference 126729VTNR, made of noble 18-carat white gold. But the real highlight lies elsewhere: The dial is made for the first time from Cerachrom – the same high-tech ceramic material that has previously been used exclusively for bezels. A premiere for Rolex – and an absolute eye-catcher.
The green tone of the dial perfectly matches the color of the bezel and creates an almost seamless, ultra-modern aesthetic. Those who have only seen the model in photos or videos can look forward to a visual experience that is likely even more impressive in person.
👉 Small prediction from the crystal ball: Perhaps this is the start of a whole new design line. A comeback of the "Hulk" Submariner – this time with a green Cerachrom dial? Or a "Pepsi" GMT, whose dial changes from blue to red under UV light?
The elegant wildness of nature – GMT-Master II Ref. 126715CHNR with tiger iron dial
The second novelty does not rely on futuristic materials, but on the raw beauty of nature: The reference 126715CHNR features a dial made of tiger iron – a stone that is being used by Rolex for the first time. The result: simply breathtaking.
Tiger iron is a combination of tiger's eye, red jasper, and silvery hematite. Each stone is unique, interwoven with warm gold and orange tones that change vibrantly depending on the light. This dial is not only beautiful – it tells a story that is literally millions of years old.
The look: elegant, mystical, absolutely unique. Perfect for collectors seeking the extraordinary – or for anyone wanting a timepiece with true personality.
By the way: The tiger iron dial is closely related to the "Falcon Eye" dial, which we recently featured in our blog. Both models impressively demonstrate how Rolex transforms natural materials into small works of art.
Conclusion: The GMT-Master II 2025 surprises with style, technology, and emotion.
Whether high-tech ceramics or millions of years old rock – Rolex demonstrates with the new GMT-Master II models 2025 that luxury watches can not only be precise but also touch emotionally. Both variants show how much depth and meaning a dial can have – whether through technological innovation or the power of nature.
And who knows? Perhaps more bold steps from Rolex are yet to come. The direction is right – and we remain excited at the pulse of time.
