Photographed alongside Khrushchev with two Rolexes on at once — by the usual telling, one on Havana time and one on Moscow time. The GMT-Master was built to do that job with a single extra hand.
On the wrist: A GMT-Master and a Submariner, worn together

The watches above are the closest references in the bezelga catalogue, not the pieces that were on the wrist — those are named in each entry. Nothing here implies that Fidel Castro endorsed anything, and no photographs of anyone are reproduced: every page on bezelga uses our own drawings of the watches.
