Rolex GMT Master II

The Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 126710BLRO is an iconic modern interpretation of Rolex’s legendary travel watch, instantly recognisable by its vivid red-and-blue Cerachrom ceramic bezel, traditionally known as the “Pepsi” colourway, which provides a striking contrast against the crisp black dial and highly legible white-gold hour markers and hands. Crafted in corrosion-resistant Oystersteel, the watch measures a versatile 40 mm and features the robust Oyster case, screw-down crown and caseback, sapphire crystal with Cyclops lens over the date, and a bidirectionally rotating 24-hour bezel that works in conjunction with the distinctive red 24-hour hand to display a second time zone. Inside is Rolex’s Calibre 3285, a sophisticated automatic movement operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offering approximately 70 hours of power reserve, while its Chronergy escapement, blue Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers contribute to the watch’s precision, resistance and reliability; the movement is certified as a Superlative Chronometer. Particularly desirable in this configuration, the watch is presented on the three-link Oyster bracelet, which gives the otherwise colourful GMT-Master II a more purposeful and sporty character than the traditional Jubilee bracelet, while its Oysterlock clasp and Easylink extension provide secure fastening and convenient adjustment. The combination of the historic Pepsi bezel, contemporary ceramic technology, Oystersteel construction and Oyster bracelet makes the 126710BLRO an exceptionally versatile and collectible GMT, equally at home as a daily luxury sports watch or as a significant modern Rolex reference.
