Rolex GMT-Master II « Pepsi »

Description

• The modern Pan-Am icon

The Rolex GMT-Master II, reference 126710BLRO, affectionately known as "Pepsi", is an exceptional timepiece with a rich history that embodies the spirit of adventure and exploration.

The GMT-Master range was first introduced in 1954 in collaboration with Pan American Airways. Designed for professional pilots, the GMT-Master enabled them to follow two time zones simultaneously, an essential feature when navigating through several international destinations. The original model, reference 6542, featured a red and blue bakelite bezel, laying the foundations for the iconic Pepsi colour palette.

Our reference 126710BLRO, demonstrates Rolex's commitment to innovation and timeless design. Released in 2018, this model features a 904L steel Oyster case and bracelet (from 2021), paired with the iconic red and blue ceramic Pepsi bezel. The red and blue ceramic insert is not only a nod to the GMT-Master's aeronautical roots, but also illustrates Rolex's mastery of materials engineering, offering exceptional durability and colour retention.

The watch is equipped with the Rolex calibre 3285, a movement that has set the industry standard for precision and reliability. The GMT function allows the wearer to track two time zones simultaneously, making it an essential tool for travellers and professionals alike.

Embark on a journey with this horological treasure that transcends time zones and embodies the essence of Rolex's unrivalled craftsmanship. This December 2024 example is in unworn condition and comes with its full set.
