Description:
The vintage Rolex GMT-Master “Rootbeer” is a beloved icon that captures the golden age of Rolex travel watches with distinctive warmth and character. Crafted in stainless steel and 18ct yellow gold, this two-tone reference features the signature brown and gold “Rootbeer” bezel, complemented by a rich brown sunburst dial often adorned with gilt or gold-tone hour markers.
Powered by the reliable Calibre 3185 automatic movement, it offers dual time zone functionality — a hallmark of the GMT-Master line designed for professional pilots and world travellers. Measuring 40mm, the Oyster case maintains classic proportions, while the two-tone Jubilee enhances its vintage charm. With its nostalgic palette, robust build, and timeless style, the 1989 GMT-Master “Rootbeer” stands as a collector-favourite symbol of Rolex’s adventurous spirit and luxurious flair.
