The Sensei's take
At an eye-watering price of $999,999, the Mk II Watches Key West (1001) is built for those who have money to burn and are chasing exclusivity over performance, especially given its mediocre Sensei Score of 5.0/10. With no standout specifications to justify the cost, this watch seems more like a statement piece than a functional timepiece. Unless you're an avid watch collector with deep pockets seeking the ultimate luxury status symbol without concern for value, I'd skip on this one.

The Mk II Key West GMT is the result of a shared endeavor to re-capture the glory days of airline travel through the first GMT watch. Originally the brainchild of Pan American Airways, the GMT watch was co-developed by the legendary airline with Rolex SA¹. We partnered with collectors, forumers, and our customers to develop this modern interpretation of the iconic vintage design. The six versions consist of 2 bezel and 3 dial variants. The black & gold 2 and the white & gold 2 dial versions were manufactured using a technique resurrected from near extinction. The last dial variant employs a functional matte black and white print 3 finish that is a hallmark of tool watches.
