What we personally love about this watch is the fact it’s a perfect blend between the coveted vintage and modern styles that Rolex loves so much, sporting a Paul Newman stainless steel casing with a sleek Paul Newman dial that really helps this watch to pop.
Perhaps surprisingly, this is a chronograph watch that can be controlled using the two steel pushers located on the right-hand side, which helps to add a sporty touch to this piece. Is there any style of function this watch doesn’t cover?
In true Ellen fashion, she actually has this watch in multiple style variations, including yellow gold, rose, steel, and bi-metal. She must obviously love this model a lot!
Rolex GMT Master 116718
Sticking in line with the Rolex brand that Ellen obviously adores so much, the 116718 this time boasts a vibrant green dial and amplified bezel that were specially created to celebrate Rolex’s 50th-year-anniversary models.
For a bit of insight into this decision, Rolex decided on the color green because it’s the Chinese color that represents success, and there’s no denying it creates a kind of natural, earthy feel that’s extremely rare to find done well on most modern watches.
The GMT Master watch range was originally released back in 1955, and has easily remained one of the best watches, and most popular, from the Rolex catalog. Back then, the watch was designed for professionals to take with them as they traveled the globe to ensure they had the most accurate timekeeping possible.
