Rolex GMT Master II 126710BLRO Pepsi Jubilee

Overview 

The Rolex GMT-Master II 126710BLRO, affectionately known as the “Pepsi,” stands as one of the most iconic watches in Rolex's lineup, blending timeless design with modern functionality. Introduced in 2018, this reference revived the beloved red and blue bezel, reminiscent of the classic GMT-Master watches from the 1950s. The distinctive two-tone bezel, crafted in Cerachrom ceramic, is scratch-resistant and fade-proof, ensuring it retains its vibrant colors over time. The red-and-blue combination not only serves as a signature aesthetic feature but also allows for easy reading of a second time zone, a key function of the GMT-Master line.

The 126710BLRO’s 40mm Oystersteel case balances durability with wearability, making it suitable for a wide range of wrist sizes. Its polished center links on the Jubilee bracelet add a touch of refinement, contrasting with the robust, sporty look of the watch. The Jubilee bracelet, originally designed in 1945, offers exceptional comfort and is often considered a more refined choice compared to the Oyster bracelet, lending a dressy feel to the sporty GMT. The Oysterlock clasp with the Easylink extension system also ensures a secure fit and the ability to adjust for optimal comfort.

The dial of the 126710BLRO is simple yet functional, with a high-contrast black background and white hour markers, enhancing readability in various lighting conditions. The iconic Mercedes hands, along with the bright red GMT hand, make tracking multiple time zones straightforward and intuitive. Rolex’s Chromalight display ensures excellent visibility in low light, with a blue glow that lasts throughout the night. The practical design elements, paired with Rolex’s attention to detail, make this watch a reliable travel companion or everyday timepiece.

Powering the 126710BLRO is Rolex’s Calibre 3285, a high-performance movement designed for precision and durability. The movement incorporates a Parachrom hairspring and Chronergy escapement, which together increase resistance to shocks and magnetic fields. With a 70-hour power reserve, the watch is capable of maintaining time accuracy even after a few days of rest. The 126710BLRO captures the spirit of adventure and the brand's commitment to innovation, making it a sought-after piece for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the heritage and functionality of the GMT-Master series.
