The GMT and the Submariner are Rolex's most well known models. Use the comparisons in this piece to discover which selection fits your special pop the best .
The GMT is intended for fliers and the Submariner was the world's first watch designed for diving. Both were introduced in 1954 at the Basel Fair. There are plenty of similarities between the Rolex GMT and the Rolex Submariner Apart from being professional Rolex vintage watches and sharing the same launching year. Some of these include :
1. Standard case size of 40mm
2. Self-winding mechanism
3. Rotating bezel
four. A scratch-resistant manmade sapphire crystal, giving the watches a slimmer look
five. Triplock system providing another defensive layer to the Oyster case. It features a treble gasket system that screws down firmly onto the case tube and against the Oyster case
six. Available in 18k yellow gold, steel and Rolesor
7. The choice of black bezel with black dial is also very popular in both these models.
How is the Rolex GMT different to the Rolex Submariner? Rolex made these 2 models to meet different professional wants. Some of the major aspects where the watch models vary from each other are explained below :
1. The Rolex Submariner features a uni-directional revolving bezel in opposition to the bi-directional bezel found in the Rolex GMT watches. The functionality of the bezels is dissimilar in the 2 models. The uni-directional bezel in the Rolex Submariner is designed to help a diver measure the elapsed time while diving. Before a diver gets enters the water, he must set the bezel so the triangle embossed on the bezel points at the present minute hand position. This may start counting the minutes while the diver descends. Likewise, by resetting the position of the triangle, he will be able to pace his ascent as well . By measuring the elapsed time, the bezel guarantees the safety of the diver. On the other hand, the bi-directional rotating bezel in the Rolex GMT helps the wearer to read the time in 2 different time-zones simultaneously.
2. Divided into 2 equal parts, the time six hundred to 18:00 represents the day and the time 18:00 to six hundred represents the night. The special 24 hour hand is used to display the 24 hour time frame on the bezel. The watch features an independent hour hand, which can on occasion be set to a different time sector without adjusting the 24 hour hand and the bezel. Additionally, the "one-hour" jump feature enables the hour hand to leap one hour at a time without impacting on the minute or 2nd hand. This feature is not present in the Submariner models.
3. The current Rolex GMT Models have a water depth rating of 330 feet, while the Submariner models have a water depth rating of 300 meters or 1000 feet.
four. All current Rolex GMT models sport a ceramic bezel, not like the Submariner models.
five. The Rolex GMT models currently available offer many jewellery embedded options like diamond-paved dial, revolving bezel fitted with diamonds, sapphires and rubies and even diamond fitted lugs. Such jewellery options aren't available in the Submariner models.
