Rolex «Zombie»
GMT-Master II · Reference 126713GRNR
The «Zombie» is the Rolex GMT-Master II reference 126713GRNR. It is known by that name for its grey and black bezel, a muted tone that the market thought looked like a zombie’s skin. At BAG À LUX we have one available, authenticated and with its paperwork.

Why it is called the Zombie
The nickname is not the watchmaker’s: the market gave it and it stuck. Today it is how everyone searches for it and asks for it, in the boutique too, which is why we use it alongside the factory reference. The reference is what identifies the piece beyond doubt: ask for the 126713GRNR and there is no confusing it with similar variants of the same model.
The story of the GMT-Master II
The GMT-Master was born in the middle of the last century from a very specific brief: pilots on transoceanic flights needed to read two time zones at once, home and destination. Hence its two signatures: the twenty-four-hour hand and the graduated rotating bezel, which adds a third zone by turning it. The «II» came later, when the hour hand became independently adjustable and the watch could be reset on landing without stopping it. The two-tone bezels, where almost every nickname comes from, exist to tell day hours from night hours at a glance.
