Rolex and Cortina Watch invite visitors to embark on a horological voyage at Time Zone to Time Zone, an exclusive exhibition at Paragon Level 1 Main Atrium that will run from 24 October to 2 November 2025. Dedicated to the iconic Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master, the showcase celebrates one of the world’s most recognisable timekeeping tools—one that has since grown into an enduring symbol of exploration and connection since its unveil in 1955.

Designed to meet the needs of the emerging jet-set community, the GMT-Master was designed for easy timetelling by people who traversed continents and crossed time zones. Distinguished by its two-colour, 24-hour graduated bezel, and its ability to display a second time zone, the watch quickly became the preferred companion for pilots, travellers, and adventurers.
