Rolex GMT-Master ii 40mm
126710BLRO

The Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 126710BLRO, better known as the “Pepsi”, is one of the most recognisable modern Rolex sports watches. This Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi pairs a 40mm Oystersteel case with a black dial. On top sits the iconic red-and-blue ceramic bezel. That colour combination has been part of the GMT-Master story for decades.

Design of the Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi

The red-and-blue bezel is instantly familiar to watch lovers around the world. Originally, the two colours helped pilots tell day hours from night hours. Today, they simply give the watch a bold and cheerful personality. The ceramic insert also resists scratches and fading, so it stays bright for years.

This example sits on the sportier three-link Oyster bracelet. Compared with the dressier Jubilee, it gives the watch a cleaner and more purposeful look. In addition, the Oyster bracelet feels solid and secure on the wrist.

Movement and features

Inside beats Rolex’s automatic Calibre 3285. It offers a true GMT function, so you can move the local hour hand on its own. At the same time, the 24-hour hand keeps track of home time. The movement also delivers roughly 70 hours of power reserve.

A sapphire crystal with a Cyclops lens makes the date easy to read. Furthermore, 100m water resistance means daily wear and a quick swim are no problem. In short, it has all the practicality you would expect from a modern GMT-Master II.

Why choose this Pepsi GMT

This example comes with its original Rolex box and is fitted to the Oyster bracelet. Overall, the 126710BLRO remains one of the most distinctive GMT configurations Rolex has ever made.
