Discover the story of the iconic Rolex GMT-Master at Paragon, where Time Zone to Time Zone celebrates the watch’s enduring role in global exploration and connection.

Rolex and Cortina Watch will present Time Zone to Time Zone, an exhibition celebrating the legendary Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master, from 24 October to 2 November 2025 at Paragon Level 1 Main Atrium.

A symbol of exploration and connection, the GMT-Master has accompanied travellers, pilots, and adventurers across continents since its debut in 1955. Recognised for its distinctive two-colour bezel and ability to display two time zones simultaneously, the watch remains the ultimate companion for the cosmopolitan traveller.

Through thematic panels and a short documentary film, Time Zone to Time Zone traces the GMT-Master’s evolution – from its origins in the golden age of commercial aviation to the contemporary GMT-Master II, a model of technical refinement and design excellence. Visitors will also discover how the watch has bridged generations and transcended the cockpit to become an enduring icon of global connection.

The exhibition will spotlight key milestones in the GMT-Master’s journey, including its many material and mechanical innovations: From Plexiglas and ceramic bezels to the early Calibre 1036 and the current Calibre 3285. What's more, it will showcase a selection of current GMT-Master II models available in Oystersteel, Rolesor, and 18 ct yellow gold.

Time Zone to Time Zone invites visitors to rediscover the timeless spirit of travel and the artistry behind one of the world’s most recognisable timepieces.
