Born in 1955 for Pan Am pilots, the GMT-Master shows a second time zone on a 24-hour bezel. The two-tone versions — Pepsi (blue/red), Batman (blue/black), Root Beer (brown/gold) — are today the most sought-after on the secondary market, often above retail.
What separates two offers
- The reference and the bezel material (vintage aluminium or Cerachrom);
- The bracelet: Oyster or Jubilee, with or without spare links;
- The full set: box, warranty card, invoice, service booklet;
- The condition of the dial and how original the components are;
- How tight the market is for that exact version at the time of sale.
Preparing your file
- Photograph the dial, the bezel, the clasp and the case back;
- Note the six-digit reference and the serial number;
- Gather the original paperwork — it weighs heavily on the final offer;
- Don't have the watch polished before the valuation: it can reduce its value.
