Rolex · Family: GMT-Master II
The Rolex GMT-Master II 126711CHNR — nicknamed the "Root Beer" for the brown-and-black contrast of its Cerachrom bezel — is the 40mm Rolesor Everose version pairing Oystersteel with 18kt Everose gold, built around the in-house Calibre 3285. Cazador has no verified price observations yet (n=0). Its differential: unlike the solid-gold "Root Beer" GMT-Masters of earlier generations, this reference pairs that brown/black two-tone bezel with a two-metal steel-and-rose-gold case.
Estimated range: €14,354 – €15,870

The Rolex GMT-Master II 126711CHNR holds its own place within the Rolesor branch of the GMT-Master II family: it's the reference collectors nickname the "Root Beer," for the brown-and-black contrast of its Cerachrom ceramic bezel insert [UNVERIFIED: the exact origin of the nickname, and the specific launch year of this two-tone-bezel-plus-Rolesor-Everose-case combination, are not part of the catalog specs consulted]. The name revives an earlier GMT-Master color tradition, when a brown/gold contrast was achieved in past generations through aluminum bezels on solid-gold cases.
The 40mm case pairs Oystersteel with 18kt Everose gold, Rolex's proprietary rose-gold alloy, in the configuration the brand calls Rolesor Everose. Inside sits the Calibre 3285, an in-house automatic movement built around the Chronergy escapement, delivering roughly 70 hours of power reserve and carrying Superlative Chronometer certification.
The bidirectional, 24-hour graduated bezel carries the two-tone brown-and-black Cerachrom ceramic insert. As with the rest of the family, the GMT function runs on an independently adjustable 24-hour hand, settable without stopping the watch or disturbing local time.
The black dial pairs gold-toned indexes and hands with the case's Everose gold, under a sapphire crystal fitted with Rolex's Cyclops lens over the date window. The bracelet is an Oyster in steel and Everose gold, closed with the Oysterlock clasp. At 100 meters of water resistance, the 126711CHNR prioritizes, like its family siblings (126710BLNR "Batman," 126710BLRO "Pepsi"), long-haul-traveler functionality over the technical dive rating of other house references. As of this writing, it remains part of Rolex's current catalog and in active production, with no discontinuation announced.
The nickname comes from its two-tone Cerachrom ceramic bezel insert, half brown and half black — a shade collectors associate with root beer soda. The exact origin of the term is not documented in the sources used for this fiche.
Cazador has no verified price observations for this reference (n=0 as of today). We do not publish estimates without our own sourced market data.
It's Rolex's combination of Oystersteel with 18kt Everose gold — the brand's proprietary rose-gold alloy — used on both the case and the Oyster bracelet.
It runs Rolex's in-house Calibre 3285, an automatic movement with the Chronergy escapement, roughly 70 hours of power reserve, and Superlative Chronometer certification.
It's rated to 100 meters, sufficient for everyday wear but well below the 300m rating of a Submariner. It is not designed as a technical dive watch.
The 24-hour hand is independent of the rest of the gear train and is set via the crown, letting the wearer fix a third time zone without stopping the watch or altering local time.
Cazador's source data does not include a confirmed launch year for this exact configuration, so no date is stated here.
