The Rolex Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II "Pepsi" Ref. 126710BLRO is a legendary tool watch that blends timeless design with modern Rolex innovation. Nicknamed the “Pepsi” for its distinctive red and blue Cerachrom bezel, this timepiece is a direct nod to the original GMT-Masters worn by Pan Am pilots in the 1950s. The LC100 designation means it was originally purchased in Germany, a minor detail that can hold significance for collectors who track regional variants.

The 126710BLRO features a 40mm Oystersteel case known for its corrosion resistance and durability. It is paired with a classic five-link Jubilee bracelet that adds elegance and comfort, secured by a folding Oysterlock safety clasp with Easylink extension. The bi-directional 24-hour bezel, crafted in scratch-resistant ceramic, is both vibrant and functional—used in combination with the dedicated GMT hand to track a second time zone, a key feature for international travelers.

This model is powered by the Rolex Calibre 3285, a self-winding movement that delivers unmatched precision, a 70-hour power reserve, and Parachrom hairspring for anti-magnetic and shock-resistant performance. The movement also incorporates the Chronergy escapement, which improves efficiency and stability.

The black dial offers perfect contrast with Chromalight-filled hour markers and Mercedes-style hands, ensuring legibility in all conditions. This reference maintains the perfect blend of heritage and modern Rolex technology, making it one of the most sought-after GMT models in the world today.
