Key Product Information
The Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 126710BLRO, known affectionately as the “Pepsi”, is one of the most recognisable and sought-after models in the Rolex line-up. It features a 40 mm Oyster case crafted in robust Oystersteel, ensuring durability and a refined finish. The bidirectional 24-hour bezel showcases the famous red and blue Cerachrom ceramic insert, with moulded numerals and graduations, designed for exceptional legibility and resistance to fading. A sleek black dial with Chromalight luminescence provides excellent readability in low-light conditions. Powering the watch is the in-house Calibre 3285 automatic movement, offering a 70-hour power reserve, a Chronergy escapement, and Rolex’s Superlative Chronometer certification for precision and reliability. The model was originally released on a Jubilee bracelet, though it later became available on the Oyster bracelet, giving buyers a choice of aesthetic and comfort. With its monobloc middle case, screw-down crown and case back, the watch also delivers water resistance to 100 metres.
Key Brand Information
Rolex has built an unrivalled reputation for crafting timepieces that combine technical mastery with timeless design. The GMT-Master collection was first developed in the 1950s in partnership with Pan American Airways to serve the needs of long-haul pilots navigating multiple time zones. The “Pepsi” bezel, with its distinctive red and blue colourway, quickly became an icon and remains a highly desirable feature among collectors. The 126710BLRO, introduced in 2018, represented a landmark moment, being the first stainless steel GMT-Master II to feature the red and blue Cerachrom bezel. It blends Rolex’s historic design language with modern engineering, making it a watch that appeals equally to connoisseurs and frequent travellers.
