Instructions for 24-Hour Bezel Usage on the Replica Explorer II & GMT-Master
The replica Rolex Explorer collection made its release in 1953 and boasted a tough exterior that could withstand almost any terrain on the planet. This model was accompanied by a smooth bezel. The fake Rolex introduced the Explorer II several decades later in 1971, thanks to the addition of a fixed 24-hour bezel, and it is obviously different from other breitling replica watches.
The bezel plays a crucial important role in the Explorer II’s ability to keep accurate time. A separate hand circles the dial once every 24 hours and was developed by Rolex to be read against the fixed bezel. This feature allows the wearer to distinguish between day and night hours as well as track a second time zone. To set, pull the crown to the third position and adjust the dedicated 24-hour hand to military time via the graduations on the bezel. You might also intend to update the local time and date, which can be done by pulling the crown to the second position and turning it until the hour hand and date display read the correct local time. While you’re there, you can also wind your timepiece to be sure that your fake watch is ready for your next adventure. Once set, screw the crown down. Newer Explorer II also boasts an independent 12-hour hand, which can then be set to read a second time zone on the dial.
The GMT Master is similar to the Explorer II in that it offers the ability to read multiple time zones at once and is waterproof up to 100 meters. The GMT Master was developed in 1954 and provides a fourth hand on the dial that can be read against the 24-hour rotating bezel. The original aim of this function was to allow pilots to sync to a common time from anywhere in the world, a feature that was developed in collaboration with the Pan American Company.
One way to use the bezel is to adjust the bezel’s 24-hour markers to align with the local time via the GMT hand on the dial. “Home time” stays the same, permitting the wearer to read both time zones at once. Another choice is to set the bezel to read “home time”. This can be done by adjusting the hour hand on the dial to reflect the local time and using the bezel and GMT hand to read “home time”. In the 1980’s, the Rolex debuted the GMT Master II, which boasted a new movement with an independent 24-hour hand. This upgrade allows the wearer to read two time zones via the dial as well as set the bezel to a third time zone. Similar to the Explorer II, set the crown to the third position to adjust the GMT hand. You can push the crown into the second position to change the local time and date from there. You can then rotate the bezel to read a third time zone. This is the ideal replica watch for the businessmen who travel to different time zones and are constantly on the move.
