I shouldn't like this watch... but i actually do..
Of course, there were some more important new models presented by Rolex at Watches and Wonders 2023. The updated Daytona , moving to a 12xxxx generation, the titanium Yacht-Master 42 or a new dress watch, the convincing Perpetual 1908 . Nevertheless, a pair of new models – to make it clear, colour and material updates on an existing watch – managed to get quite some traction. I’m talking about new yellow gold-equipped GMT-Master II watches , and specifically the Steel and Yellow Gold (call it two-tone or yellow Rolesor) reference 126713GRNR. At first, this watch should be everything I don’t like… But life is sometimes surprising.
Above: the 116713LN and 116718LN, models discontinued circa 2019, equipped with yellow gold case/bracelet, or yellow Rolesor case/bracelet – images by www.watchclub.com
Before I go up close and personal with the 126713GRNR (reference numbers are going more and more complex at Rolex…) we first need to recap the facts, and look at this new two-tone steel and yellow gold GMT-Master II for what it is. First of all, next to the full yellow gold version (reference 126718GRNR), this new model marks the return of yellow gold in the collection. Indeed, since the discontinuation of the solid yellow gold models – 116718LN green or black dial – and the two-tone yellow Rolesor – 116713LN – a few years ago, your only option for precious metal GMTs were Everose (solid or matched with steel ), or white gold . And, also important, they all come on an Oyster bracelet.
These two new models feel actually very much like no-brainers, like unsurprising, totally expected models. Why? Because it feels natural to have Yellow Rolesor or solid yellow gold models in the collection. The watches you assume exist… but actually didn’t, at least for some years (from 2019 to 2023). So what’s the deal in 2023? Well, first of all, yellow gold, as a stand-alone material or combined with steel, returns to the Rolex GMT collection. Second, there’s a new two-tone bezel, in an unprecedented colour combination. Third, there’s a Jubilee bracelet in precious metal on the GMT, which is not only new but also hot. Last, I hate to say it, but they look very attractive. And I believe that it’s quite a general consensus here.
Today, I’ve decided to specifically look at the GMT-Master II Steel and Yellow Gold 126713GRNR. Why? First of all, while being a highly attractive watch, the full gold model is very flashy indeed and retails for almost 40k euros. Not very “wide audience” watch material. Second, the two-tone version has made yet another impression on me. It’s rather interesting to look at how tastes and trends evolve. Two-tone watches used to have a rather negative image in the past, but they’ve moved from “poor man’s” options (understand, I want gold but can’t afford the solid gold one) to “cool man’s” options recently. So, here’s my choice. Even I have a hard time explaining why… It’s everything I shouldn’t like.
Back to basics. This new Steel and Yellow Gold Rolex GMT is nothing more than a visual update. Case; the same Oystersteel middle case as before, measuring a typical Rolex 40mm diameter, a relatively thin 11.90mm height (it’s still a sports watch with a rotating bezel and 100m water-resistance after all), and a still acceptable 48mm length. Dimensions, shapes, and finishes are all identical to a Pepsi or a Batgirl , with now a solid 18k yellow gold Triplock screw-down crown and notched bezel. The other novelty comes from the new ceramic insert, in an unprecedented combination of black and mid-grey ( GR is N oi R ). And I must that this muted, discreet combination pairs brilliantly with the warm tone of YG. As if Rolex wanted to keep the attention only on the gold accents, whether on the case, bracelet, bezel or dial. The rest is all discreet, subtle. This new insert is almost like a graduation on black. And I think it works even better next to the steel parts of this Rolesor edition.
As for the dial, it’s pretty straightforward too. No evolution to be noted in the design, it’s all about the colours and materials. As you’d expect, the black lacquered base is glossy, with applied hour markers and hands that match the case – thus, made of 18k yellow gold. And Rolex has also been slightly restrained when it comes to touches of colour. No flashy green or red accents on the GMT hand and GMT-Master II mention, just the same tone of gold as the rest of the dial. Tasteful and elegant, with just the dosage of bling you want in a gold or two-tone watch.
Importantly, this new GMT-Master II two-tone 126713GRNR, as well as the full yellow gold model, marks the first appearance of the Jubilee bracelet on precious metal GMT watches. It was only reserved for the steel Pepsi , Batgirl and Destro versions up until now. It means a 5-link, slightly vintage bracelet with polished 18k gold central links and brushed steel external links. Clasp; classic Oysterlock folding safety clasp with Easylink comfort extension link. Comfort; classic Jubilee, supple, soft and flexible. And the look is just as good as it gets (if you love Rolex and this style, of course).
Mechanically, no evolution either here. The new Rolesor GMT-Master II comes equipped with the Calibre 3285, an in-house automatic movement with Superlative Chronometer certification – meaning COSC certification and internal Rolex testing after casing, with -2/+2 seconds/day accuracy range. It features all of the brand’s latest innovations, including the Chronergy escapement, the Parachrom hairspring and paramagnetic nickel-phosphorus pallet fork and escape wheel, with a comfortable 70h power reserve. And like all watches from the range, it’s a flyer/traveller’s GMT watch , with an independently adjustable local hour hand, by one-hour increments.
So, why did I fall for this new 126713GRNR…? Besides the obvious quality of the watch, there’s something that goes down, as simple as it is, to feelings. For a rather inexplicable, or at least tangible reason, this new model created emotions in me. I used to own a GMT-Master II in the past (a reference 116710LN to be precise) and I’ve always loved the functionality and overall robustness of the watch, but blamed a certain lack of warmth and fun. It felt too technical, too cold. While I do believe that most professional Rolex watches should be steel, due to their own purposeful nature, the GMT-Master II is the one watch in the range that can use some bling, some colours, and some precious materials… Keep in mind that the Rolex GMT has never been a pilot’s watch in the military sense of the concept. It has always been a civilian watch, for travelling up in the sky.
All in all, and I’m fully aware that I’m being subjective here, I do believe this 126713GRNR is the new coolest GMT. And yes, you can tell me that I’m wrong in the comments below and list what version you prefer, because in the end, it’s all about personal tastes.
The Rolex GMT-Master II Steel and Yellow Gold 126713GRNR is now released and “available” from retailers (relatively speaking, even if the situation seems to have recently improved a bit) at a price of EUR 16,300 , CHF 15,700 or USD 16,450 . More details at rolex.com .

From the public’s perspective, Rolex’s surge into its movement revolution began with the now anachronistic-sounding Basel 2000 World Watch, Clock, and Jewelry Show. But the evidence of a long-term engineering campaign was mounting at the patent office and in the dealers’ showrooms.
Consider the 2005 Cellini Prince, highlighted previously in The Golden Age Of Rolex Movements Part I: Sowing The Seeds Of Greatness .
Rolex made the Cellini Prince an early recipient of the Paraflex shock system, a tangible sign of Rolex’s progress internalizing the movement production of all components. Achieving proprietary shock protection is an extraordinary feat; only massive firms such as the Swatch Group and Seiko Epson or single-purpose suppliers such as KIF Parechoc produce these subassemblies.

Components such as shock springs are as significant to the Rolex watchmaking revolution as the rock-star movements themselves. And Rolex often telegraphs its next moves – and movements – with patent applications.
————————————————————————————————————–
—————————————————————————————————–
For example, trace the Rolex patent breadcrumb trail to a June 1998 application for U.S. patent number 5881026, “A self-compensating spring for a balance-spring . . . made of a paramagnetic Nb-Zr alloy containing between 5% and 25% by weight of Zr.”
Just like that, Rolex dropped the Parachrom alloy for its future nonmagnetic hairsprings.
U.S. patent number 6329066 requested in March 2000 specified “a self-compensating spring for a balance-wheel oscillator . . . and process for treating this spiral . . . the oxide layer which forms has a thickness of the order of 50 nm, giving the spiral a blue color.” As in this fashion, the current Parachrom Blue hairspring was born.
Fitting a Rolex balance wheel and Parachrom Blue hairspring to a movement
Look back even farther, and one begins to grasp just how long certain ideas gestate inside the Rolex fortress.
In January of 1989, Rolex filed for U.S. patent number 4866684 to protect its concept of a “Chronometer for starting races, particularly regattas.” Details of the application text include mention of a dedicated ten-minute countdown scale.
Granted, this project also included mention of an electronic drive system, but the bug had been planted: Rolex was thinking about a dedicated regatta chronograph three years before the first time-only Yacht-Master broke at the 1992 Basel Fair.
Look back even farther, and it becomes evident that Rolex prototyped a Yacht-Master chronograph during the late 1960s.
A 2007 Rolex Yacht-Master II in precious metal (photo courtesy WatchBox)
Baselworld 2007 witnessed the end of this extraordinary incubation cycle in the form of the Yacht-Master II. At the time, the watch was the most complex Rolex product ever sold. Caliber 4160 comes on strong: the Daytona’s 70-hour reserve, ball-bearing rotor, vertical clutch, column wheel, and robust architecture carry over from the 4130 movement.
To this functional core, Rolex added a programmable countdown system with a memory capability that resets to its specified interval without fail until reprogrammed. The Yacht-Master II is designed to act as a flyback and fly-forward chronograph to center on the nearest minute when actuated.
Finally, all programming is performed with a “Ring Command” bezel that doubles as part of the movement itself.
Rolex Caliber 4161
For the first time, Rolex began to offer public insights into advanced industrial procedures used in the fabrication of its movements. Contemporary press dispatches from Geneva boasted of employing the micro-manufacturing technique “Lithographie, Galvanoformung, Abformung” – better known as LIGA profiling, which sees nickel-phosphorus components “grown” on a substrate for perfect geometry – for the most sensitive and tolerance-intensive mechanical components.
Considering how niche the regatta timer function was in 2007 and remains today, the level of engineering investment was stunning. But the new movement wasn’t perfect.
Caliber 4130 was more sensitive to maintenance intervals and more susceptible to rough handling than previous Rolex movements. Reset action and the flyback/fly-forward function often developed lag or stalled entirely, and given the quantum leap of complexity for Rolex calibers this wasn’t shocking.

A reboot of sorts occurred in 2013 with the arrival of the long-awaited stainless steel Yacht-Master II. The undercard of this marquee launch was the revised Caliber 4161. More robust and more consistent, the 4161 brought the Yacht-Master II on par with the Daytona’s reliability and crisp pusher feel.
But 2013’s detail revisions to Caliber 4161 barely registered amid the aftershocks of Rolex’s 2012 engineering quantum leap, the Sky-Dweller annual calendar GMT. Even with eight years’ worth of hindsight, the Sky-Dweller remains perhaps the least expected and most ambitious Rolex engineering project of the twenty-first century.
A 2012 Rolex Sky-Dweller in gold (photo courtesy WatchBox)
While stunning, the arrival of the Sky-Dweller could have been anticipated via diligent reading of Rolex’s U.S. patent applications. As far back as 2003, U.S. patent number 6744696 described an annual calendar system based solely on wheels and pared down to the minimum necessary parts count.
The elegant system was described as a solution for a “clock,” but a quick review of Rolex’s sparse modern clock portfolio suggests that this was little more than a smokescreen.
More insight arrived in April 2005 via U.S. patent number 7242640. The original statement of intent to develop an annual calendar moved into the product-engineering phase. No longer posing any pretense of clockmaking, the 2005 patent application specified the following:
“An annual date mechanism for a timepiece movement comprising a 31-toothed date runner, a jumper in mesh with its toothset, a months satellite . . . designed for twelve for the months comprising less than 31 days, a fixed planetary toothset coaxial with the date runner and in a direct-drive relationship with the months satellite.”

Another piece of the Rolex roadmap appeared in June 2011, less than a year before the launch of the Sky-Dweller, when Rolex filed U.S. patent number 8328414 for a bezel-based function selector by which “the function and/or indication which is to be adjusted is selected using a rotating bezel. Because of this the number of functions and/or indications which are to be adjusted can be high, as the bezel can rotate through 360 degrees.
Rolex Sky-Dweller Ring Command Bezel
“Advantageously, the setting control comprises a two-position stem, one position of which is a winding position and the second position of which is an adjustment position. Thus, a single two-position stem can be used to adjust a number of functions and/or time indications which is substantially greater than its single adjustment position.”
The Ring Command bezel is easy to use on the Rolex Sky-Dweller
In hindsight, Rolex was trying to protect itself ahead of a major product launch, but rarely have Rolex patents so explicitly and thoroughly previewed the consumer product to follow.
And what a product. The Sky-Dweller’s Caliber 9001 is a monster comprising the most individual parts of any Rolex movement past or present.
With 380 components, the 9001 narrowly eclipses the regatta chronograph, and the simplicity of the Ring Command bezel interface cloaks the fearsome mass of moving parts within; the bezel system alone accounts for 60 parts.
Perhaps chastened by growing pains with the Caliber 4160 regatta timer, Rolex seems to have taken great pains to ensure the mammoth Caliber 9001 lived up to Rolex levels of toughness.
Rolex Caliber 9001
The Rolex annual calendar system, dubbed “Saros” after celestial phenomena, can be set bidirectionally without damaging the movement. As with the Ludwig Oechslin annual calendars designed for the MIH watch , Zenith and Ochs und Junior, the Rolex system is designed and constructed with usability and reliability in mind.
Peripheral features include a 70-hour power reserve, winding-rotor bearings, a niobium-zirconium oxidized non-magnetic hairspring, and a free-sprung balance with a full bridge.
To put the complexity of Rolex Caliber 9001 in perspective, consider that Audemars Piguet’s modular chronograph in the Royal Oak Offshore (3126/3840) includes 365 parts and the Patek Philippe 5370P’s split-second chronograph Caliber CH29-535PS includes 312 parts, both exceptional haute horlogerie movements.
Rolex Sky-Dweller Reference 326934 in white gold and stainless steel (Rolesor) launched in 2017
Moreover, Rolex democratized the Sky-Dweller in 2017 with a – mostly – stainless steel model priced at less than one-third of the original $48,850.
For those who love movements but are reluctant to pay a precious-metal premium, Rolex prices the $14,400 Sky-Dweller 326934 within shouting distance of the $12,400 Daytona.
Although new models steal headlines, and no watch brand self-promotes with the gusto and grandeur of Rolex, the segment juggernaut tends to steer buyer attention away from movement engineering.
Despite the arrival of two monstrous complications in the space of five years, Rolex refused to redefine itself as a company or a brand. Ongoing innovations occurred as a sub-text to celebrity ambassadors, event sponsorship, and mainstream media campaigns.
The tension between Rolex’s movement innovations and branding exercises contribute, in part, to blame for watch collectors’ tendency to overlook Rolex watchmaking.
Part III of this series will explore the primacy of branding at Rolex and its impact on the company’s public reputation for movement innovation.

Since the 2015 release of the Oysterflex, Rolex fans have yearned for the Crown to put their favourite pieces on the new rubber bracelet. For reasons only known to Rolex, it limits the watches that the supple strap is allowed to be fitted to from the factory, such as precious metal Daytonas and Yacht-Masters, leaving the rest of the range somewhat bereft of options. That’s not to say the bracelets on Explorers, Submariners, GMT Masters, etc, aren’t great; they’re some of the best on the market. However, if you would prefer your Rolex on rubber , your factory options are limited. That is unless you start to explore aftermarket options. Arguably, watches like the underwater-themed Submariner is crying out to be hooked up to a rubber strap, so until Rolex agrees, what options are out there for you?
Delugs is a brand made and run by watch enthusiasts for watch enthusiasts. Prior to focusing on watch straps, Delugs was exclusively a leathercraft brand, crafting and experimenting with handmade bags, pouches, wallets, and belts. The brand’s love of watches meant that of course, they were making straps for themselves and their friends, which quickly developed into an opportunity to branch out professionally into the watch scene in 2018.
In 2022, Delugs released its own range of rubber straps, some of which are specific for Rolex, however many of its other rubber straps will fit any Rolex given the lug width is correct. The colour options are diverse but curated, and not quite as in-your-face as other brands’ offerings. Delugs also offer its own clean looking folding clasp, which includes the CTS (cut-to-size) fitment , allowing for each strap to be perfectly sized to your wrist simply by being cut down to whatever size you need. This does limit adjustability on hotter days, so be aware of that. Explore fabric and leather Delugs options in the T+T Shop, with prices starting from US$30
Given how rubber straps have hugely taken off over the last ten years or so, you’d be forgiven that it was a modern phenomenon, but there’s one brand that has been pushing the benefits of vulcanised rubber for decades. Tropic is the rubber strap company, producing straps since the 1960s, and is probably one of the most famous of all. While they’re not specifically designed only to fit Rolex, they can fit anything with a 20mm or 22mm lug width.
Tropic straps use a specific vulcanised rubber which is hypoallergenic, optimised for tensile strength, offers UV resistance, and is largely immune to adverse effects from extreme heat or cold. Perhaps that’s why Marlon Brando chose to use one on his iconic GMT Master , worn in his 1979 war epic Apocalypse Now – or perhaps it was the lovely tinge of vanilla scent. If it was good enough for Colonel Kurtz, then it’s good enough for the Time+Tide Shop. Price: starting from US$100
A brand that’s has been around for about ten years is Miami-based Horus. Founded by Mark Margulies as a side business while at college, the brand has since gone multinational, with 120 authorised retailers around the globe. While Horus offers straps for a multitude of other brands, the Rolex lineup is impressive, catering to pretty much every model in the catalogue.
It also offers direct Oysterflex replacements, and offer either Rolex clasp fitment or Horus pin buckles. Part of the success comes from their approach to customisability, with a multitude of colours and patterns to choose from. In fact, there’s around 40 different choices per model, so if customisation is your bag, Horus is definitely worth checking out. Price: starting from US$129
Everest is one of the leading aftermarket rubber strap brands out there. With over a decade of experience in the field, it has meticulously improved its straps over time to perfect fit, function, and comfort. It offers a wide range of straps to specifically fit certain models, and this is the important part because, unlike many others, each strap type is moulded to the case design. The lug ends of the straps are curved in such a way as to fit inside the lugs properly, following the contours of each case.
On top of this, there are specific strap types to be able to use the clasp from your Rolex, or you can opt for a pin buckle variation. Everest is a slightly more premium option when it comes to rubber, however the straps offer extremely high levels of quality and comfort, which is just what you need. One limitation is that there are only a handful of colours on offer, so if you love to really push the boat out with customisation, you may want to dig a little deeper. Price: starting from US$220
Switzerland-based strap brand Rubber B is the only alternative rubber strap brand to feature the words “Swiss Made” on its straps. 100% made in their factory in the foothills of the Alps, it takes their description of “the ultimate rubber strap” very seriously. The design is meticulously detailed to ensure that the straps do not move around inside the lugs, hugging the case nicely, and the vulcanised rubber is infused with carbon fibre during the injection moulding process to increase strength and stress resistance, all while remaining supple, comfortable, and light.
As a result, they are on the more expensive side, but as a premium brand, Rubber B offers a huge choice of Rolex-specific fitments, from Submariners to Air Kings, there’s one for everyone. Also, there are a few different colour choices, but the brand also offers a wider choice of strap designs and clasps, such as Rolex clasp fitment to velcro or tang buckles. Price: starting from US$220
We can’t have this list and not mention the king of the Rolex rubber straps, the Oysterflex. In 2015, Rolex shook the market by introducing its first ever rubber strap, and in usual Rolex style, gave it a name befitting of any other Rolex product, the Oysterflex bracelet. Originally only available on the Daytona, it was introduced later to the Yacht-Master and the Sky-Dweller , all only in precious metal. This has been a bone of contention for Rolex fans for a long time because, of course, everyone would love to see the option rolled out across other models, such as the Submariner or GMT Master II. In true Rolex style, it’s not just a simple rubber band.
The Oysterflex features an internal titanium strip to help the strap retain its shape and give it additional strength, and also has subtle fins on its underside that keep the head of the watch elevated off the wrist to keep things cool and comfy on hot days. Lastly, all new Oysterflexes feature Rolex’s brilliant Glidelock clasp, allowing for on-the-fly adjustments. The fun part is, while you can’t buy an Oysterflex directly from Rolex, they do occasionally come up for sale on the secondary market, and they can be fitted to 20mm lug width Subs and GMTs with very little hassle.

This is likely going to be the most important aspects of your decision. Let's begin with the size. Both watches have 40mm cases.
