The GMT-Master II 'Sprite' is Rolex's left-handed take on its traveler's watch: the winding crown sits at 9 o'clock and the date with Cyclops lens sits at 9 o'clock too, with the green-and-black Cerachrom bezel split so the green half marks daytime hours. It runs the in-house Calibre 3285 with a 70-hour power reserve, a paramagnetic Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers, and it is water resistant to 100 meters on a steel Oyster bracelet with Oysterlock clasp and Easylink extension. It suits left-handed wearers and collectors who want a GMT that stands apart from the Pepsi and Batman versions, though it is a large, heavy steel watch and the left-hand layout divides opinion. Against a standard right-handed GMT-Master II it offers the same movement and build in a rarer configuration, and it competes with other steel GMTs on specification rather than on complication count.

Owners and reviewers treat the Sprite as a well-built GMT with a genuinely useful left-hand layout, and most praise the movement, bezel and bracelet. The main complaints are its size and weight and the divisive green-and-black colorway.
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II is a left-handed model in Oystersteel with a black dial and an Oyster bracelet. Its bidirectional rotatable 24-hour bezel has a two-color green and black Cerachrom ceramic insert with moulded numerals and graduations. The dial has a Chromalight display.
Besides the hour, minute and seconds hands, an arrow-tipped hand circles the dial once every 24 hours. Together with the 24-hour bezel, it shows a second time zone. The watch also has an instantaneous date display under a Cyclops lens, and a stop-seconds function.
The 40 mm Oystersteel case has a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a screw-down winding crown with the Triplock triple waterproofness system. The movement is the Calibre 3285, a self-winding mechanical movement with a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. The three-piece solid-link Oyster bracelet closes with a folding Oysterlock safety clasp with an Easylink 5 mm comfort extension link.
