Rolex GMT-Master II Pro Hunter Tribute Stealth Military DLC IX, an Extremely Rare Limited Edition of Only 100 Pieces Worldwide, Bespoke Stealth Black DLC-Coated 904L Stainless Steel, Black Cerachrom 24-Hour Bezel, Pure Black Dial with Striking Anniversary Green GMT Hand, Chromalight Luminescent Hour Markers and Hands, Manufacture Rolex Self-Winding Superlative Chronometer Movement, Green Nato Strap, 40mm.
This is not the GMT-Master II you see every day. The Pro Hunter Tribute Stealth Military DLC IX takes one of the most recognizable Rolex Professional watches ever created and gives it an entirely different personality. Virtually everything has been stripped into shades of black: the case, bezel, dial, crown, hardware and buckle, creating an incredibly aggressive stealth military presence. Against that darkness, the vivid Anniversary Green GMT hand explodes from the dial, immediately revealing what lies underneath the transformation: one of Rolexs legendary multi-time-zone sports watches.
The bespoke black DLC treatment completely changes the character of the familiar 40mm Oyster case. The black Cerachrom bezel almost disappears into the architecture of the watch, while the luminous markers and hands emerge dramatically from the pure black dial. It is stealthy without becoming anonymous. You immediately know it is a GMT-Master II, but equally immediately realize this is not a Rolex that came out of the ordinary catalog.
Underneath the darkness remains the engineering that made the GMT-Master II an icon: Rolexs manufacture automatic Superlative Chronometer movement, independently readable GMT indication, bidirectional 24-hour bezel, Triplock screw-down crown and legendary Oyster construction.
And this is where the Pro Hunter becomes seriously interesting to the collector. The GMT-Master II is already one of Rolexs great Professional icons, but this Pro Hunter Tribute Stealth Military DLC IX interpretation was created in a strictly limited series of only 100 pieces, giving an already legendary platform an entirely different level of exclusivity. The pure black stealth execution, contrasted by the unmistakable Anniversary Green GMT hand, gives this edition an identity all its own while preserving the character of the Rolex beneath it. With only 100 examples produced, this is the kind of specialized Pro Hunter creation that rarely surfaces and becomes increasingly difficult to replace as individual pieces disappear into private collections. For the collector who appreciates the GMT-Master II but also seeks rarity, individuality and an important limited Pro Hunter execution, this is an exceptionally elusive version of an undisputed Rolex icon.
