Hands-On: The Rolex Sky-Dweller 2020 On The Oysterflex Bracelet - HODINKEE

The GMT-Master II has a long history of use as a practical traveling aid, and it's also done time on innumerable pilots' wrists and astronauts' wrists. The Sky-Dweller, on the other hand, is unabashedly a luxury watch – 42mm in diameter, exceedingly extroverted in design. It's a watch that makes no bones about announcing itself, especially in gold. There is a steel version, with a white-gold bezel, with which I spent A Week On The Wrist back in 2018, but that's about as proletariat as the Sky-Dweller gets (it is currently listed at $14,800, which seems surprisingly affordable for a Sky-Dweller, relatively speaking). I actually had an opportunity to travel with the watch (on a quick trip to London and back) and found it, despite its complexity and the somewhat unintuitive-at-first nature of the Ring Command bezel, very easy to use and fun as hell to wear, to boot. As a working travel watch, though, I thought I'd still probably just rather use a GMT-Master II, which even on a bracelet, flies a little more under the radar.
