Description
Against the sophisticated black dial of this 40mm stainless steel GMT-Master II, the iconic blue and red “Pepsi” bezel creates a striking contrast that has captivated collectors since its original 1955 debut. The 126710BLRO represents Rolex’s modern interpretation of this beloved dual-time traveler, now equipped with the robust Caliber 3285 movement and featuring a bidirectional rotatable Cerachrom bezel in ceramic. The nickname “Pepsi” emerged from the watch community’s affection for the patriotic red and blue colorway that mirrors the famous soft drink’s brand colors, making this configuration one of the most recognizable sports watches in horological history.
