This replica GMT-Master 126720VTNR introduced a detail no previous Rolex had offered: the crown positioned on the left side of the case at 9 o’clock. Known among collectors as the “Destro” or left-handed configuration, the 126720VTNR launched in 2022 and immediately became one of the most talked-about references in the GMT-Master II range. The green-and-black ceramic bezel earned the “Sprite” nickname, continuing the tradition of soda-inspired color codes within the collection.

Build Details

• Case diameter: 40mm
• Crown position: left side (9 o’clock)
• Bezel: green and black ceramic bi-directional (“Sprite”)

The left-crown layout flips the entire wearing experience. Date window moves to 9 o’clock, the crown guard architecture mirrors itself, and the overall case symmetry shifts. Functionally identical to a standard GMT-Master, the ergonomic change suits left-wrist wearers who find a right-side crown digging into the back of their hand.

What Collectors Notice

The Sprite bezel uses the same ceramic technology found across modern GMT-Master references, but the green half reads darker than you might expect, closer to forest green than lime. Under artificial light, the green and black halves nearly merge. In daylight, the contrast emerges sharply. Compare this against the 116713LN two-tone version for a different approach to green within the GMT-Master lineup. The Destro crown adds a conversation point that standard right-crown references cannot match.

This vs Other Versions

Among current-production GMT-Master references, the 126720VTNR stands alone with its mirrored case layout. No other model in the current catalog uses a left-side crown. That exclusivity, combined with the distinctive green-black bezel, positions the Sprite as a collector piece rather than a conservative daily wearer. The Oystersteel construction keeps it firmly in the tool-watch category despite the unusual configuration. For anyone who wants a gmt master ii that genuinely looks different on the wrist, the left-crown format delivers exactly that. This replica GMT-Master 126720VTNR captures that unconventional layout in full detail.
