Rolex GMT Master II White Gold Meteorite Luminous Dial Red/Blue Ceramic Bezel Oyster Bracelet 126719BLRO

The GMT-Master, launched in 1955, was initially developed as a navigation instrument for professionals crisscrossing the globe and to show the time in two different time zones simultaneously. Heir to the original model, the GMT-Master II was launched in 1982, with a Unworn movement that made it easy to use. It’s a combination of splendid functionality, robustness, and instantly recognizable aesthetic that has attracted an enormous number of world travelers.
Coke or Pepsi is a matter of taste as individual tastes always differ. Rolex made a version that had a GMT bezel in red and black, called “Coke,”. Later the first GMT-Master from 1955 bore the red-and-blue scale for the 24-hour display, and hence it was nicknamed “Pepsi.” The Unworn Pepsi GMT-Master II represents the reincarnation of the classic in its original form.
The colors were used to distinguish between the day and night times of the second time zone. The Pan American Airways requested this, and other specs. In addition to having the aura of a pilot’s watch, the high level of recognition of the Coke and Pepsi colored bezel contributed to the GMT-Master II’s popularity.
