The perfect combination of utility and iconic, modern style.

The Rolex GMT-Master II “Batman” (Ref. 126710BLNR) is one of the most popular modern Rolex references, and its presence in Virat Kohli’s collection highlights his appreciation for functional, versatile tool watches.

GMT Functionality: Designed for professional use, the GMT-Master II allows the wearer to track two time zones simultaneously—perfect for a global traveler like Kohli.
