GMT-Master II “Root Beer” Swiss Clone

Reference Style: GMT-Master II 126711CHNR (Everose Rolesor)

1. Executive Overview

GMT-Master II “Root Beer” style Super Clone, modelled on the modern GMT-Master II 126711CHNR, featuring the Swiss brands “ Everose Rolesor “ colour scheme (stainless steel and Everose gold).

This is one of the most technically advanced GMT platforms within the modern Swiss -clone industry, combining a dedicated clone GMT movement, ceramic bezel technology, CNC-machined case construction, sapphire crystal, and a two-tone Oyster bracelet.

The “Root Beer” colour combination of black and brown ceramic, together with the Everose accents, makes this one of the most distinctive GMT-Master II variants.
