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, testifies to Rolex's commitment to innovation and timeless design. Released in 2018, this model has a case and a Jubilee bracelet in 904L steel, paired with the famous Pepsi bezel in red and blue ceramic. 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.
