the bezel of a watch can deteriorate when exposed to sunlight,

chlorinated water and scratches. this is why the bezel of the rolex

gmt-master ii is made from an extremely hard ceramic material. it has

excellent corrosion-resistant properties, its colour is not affected

by ultraviolet rays and it is virtually scratch-proof. to inscribe

numerals on this hardest of materials, rolex even developed and

patented a unique process: the numerals are carved before the

ceramic hardens, the entire bezel is covered with gold, atom

by atom, and then polished until only the gold in the numerals

remains, permanently. it takes 40 hours to produce a ceramic bezel.

even a rolex has to suffer to be beautiful.
