The Rolex GMT-Master, famously known as the “Pepsi” due to its red and blue bezel, made its debut in 1955. Originally designed for Pan Am pilots to track multiple time zones, it quickly gained popularity beyond aviation circles. The red and blue bezel was not just a stylistic choice; it also served a functional purpose, allowing wearers to distinguish between day and night hours. Over the years, Rolex has released several iterations of the Pepsi, each incorporating advancements in watchmaking technology and design. In 2018, Rolex unveiled the GMT-Master II “Pepsi” with a Cerachrom ceramic bezel, offering improved durability and resistance to fading. This modern Pepsi pays homage to its heritage while embodying Rolex’s commitment to innovation and precision craftsmanship. Today, the Rolex GMT-Master II “Pepsi” remains an iconic timepiece sought after by collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.
