About the Rolex 3285

It is the 3235 architecture with a 24-hour hand: the Chronergy escapement, the blue Parachrom hairspring, Paraflex shock absorbers, 31 jewels and a beat of 28,800 vph at 28.5 mm across, with the local hour hand jumping independently in one-hour steps so a traveller sets it without stopping the watch. Every one is a Superlative Chronometer, tested to two seconds a day after casing. The glossary explains the GMT distinction it sits on the "true" side of.

In the library it powers 17 GMT-Master II references of the 1267xx generation, the Pepsi and Batman in steel, the Everose Root Beer and the yellow gold, and 2 Explorer II 226570s of 2021 at 42 mm.

The 3186 is the 50-hour GMT movement it replaced, and the 9002 the Sky-Dweller's movement of the same generation.
