Nicknamed “Sprite” for its green-and-black bezel palette, the 126720VTNR made history as the first Rolex with the crown positioned at nine o’clock instead of the traditional three. Designed for left-handed wearers or anyone who prefers the crown on the opposite side, this reference flips the entire case orientation — crown guards, date window and winding mechanism — without compromising the GMT-Master II’s core functionality or proportions.

The 126720VTNR Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
The mirrored case layout places the crown and crown guards at nine o’clock, with the date aperture following suit. The Cyclops magnifier sits on the left side of the crystal, creating a distinctive asymmetry that sets this reference apart from every other GMT-Master on display.
A green upper half and black lower half Cerachrom bezel tracks daytime and nighttime hours for the second timezone. On the black dial, Chromalight-filled indices and hands deliver strong blue luminescence after dark.
Available on Jubilee or Oyster bracelet depending on variant. See all left-handed and standard configurations in the GMT-Master collection.
Movement Options: Swiss vs Japanese
The left-handed crown layout does not affect movement choice:
- Swiss Automatic — 28,800 vph, roughly 70-hour power reserve. Independent GMT hand with quickset date, following the genuine Caliber 3285 architecture in a mirrored configuration.
- Japanese Automatic (Miyota) — 21,600 vph, around 42-hour reserve. Proven travel-ready movement with accessible servicing and strong daily accuracy.
Both include hacking seconds for easy synchronization.
