Alongside new Yachtmaster, Deepsea, some Datejust Models.

Geneva is currently holding a watch celebration, Watches & Wonders 2022, with Rolex joining in with the unveiling of its 2022 collection. One of the iconic pieces headlining the new releases is the green and black left-handed GMT-Master II, which has been long rumored. Joining the ranks of icons like Coke and Pepsi, this indelible timepiece now has a new color option in its 24-hour Cerachrom bezel and a classic black dial.

The Oystersteel model's case measures 40mm and is accompanied by a full Oyster bracelet. The model's new caliber 3285, dubbed by the Rolex brand as a "new-generation movement made entirely Rolex-made," powers the timepiece. Only ten patents are filed for this COSC-certified movement, and its Chronergy escapement ensures an impressive 70-hour power reserve.

The Air-King comes in an entirely Oystersteel construction with solid links, a 40mm case with new crown guards, and a matching Oysterclasp. The watch's aviation-inspired black dial hasn't changed much, although it has been updated with the caliber 3230. The Air-King also offers a power reserve of 70 hours.
