This model, with its black and blue two-tone bezel, is affectionately nicknamed "Batman" and is one of the most popular models of the GMT Master II. It features the Jubilee bracelet, which is rarely used in Rolex sports models, so it is not only comfortable to wear, but also adds a luxurious feel, giving it a sporty yet elegant impression.

Manuel Gourdet is known for his stamina and one-on-one play.

He is a player with extremely high defensive abilities, such as being able to show up anywhere and always covering for his teammates, and the ability to steal the ball with accurate sliding. He has also scored goals with his headers during set plays, making him one of the players who contributes greatly to the team on both offense and defense!

This watch features an impressive Grand Tapisserie dial and is a classic luxury sports model designed by the genius watch designer Gerald Genta. The in-house automatic movement "Cal.3120" is known as "one of the best automatic movements in the world" and boasts a power reserve of 60 hours. The contrast between the ruggedness of the octagonal bezel and bracelet, which are its biggest features, and the beautiful blue Grand Tapisserie dial makes this a popular watch!

Vincenzo Grifo is a player who brings victory to his team with his decisiveness.

He is the team's best technician, scoring goals from cut-ins and also scoring directly from set pieces! He has 13 goals and 3 assists so far this season, so it seems he is in good form. He also has great footwork skills, and his technical dribbling is captivating to watch.

This gorgeous watch, with its combination of 18KYG (yellow gold) and SS (stainless steel), was released in 2000 and is equipped with the fully in-house movement "Cal. 4130". While inheriting the design of the previous model "Ref. 16523", the details have been brushed up, such as changing the layout of the sub-dials and enlarging the indexes due to the change in the movement. The gold of the bezel and bracelet combined with the black dial makes this an attractive watch that exudes luxury for adults!
