Rolex GMT-Master II „Pepsi“

Product detailed description

The Rolex GMT-Master II is one of Rolex’s most iconic sports models. The 16710, produced until 2007, is sought after by collectors for its classic proportions, slimmer case, and the ability to easily swap out the bezel. This particular example from 2006/2007 is exceptionally attractive because, in addition to the iconic red-and-blue “Pepsi” bezel, it also features two other original bezel inserts—a black one and a black-and-red “Coke” one. This makes it easy to adapt the watch’s look to different occasions, and it’s a feature that collectors are increasingly seeking out today.

The Oystersteel case has a diameter of 40 mm and is complemented by a bidirectional rotating 24-hour bezel, which in its standard configuration features the iconic red-and-blue “Pepsi” design. The package also includes black and black-and-red “Coke” bezels, allowing the watch’s appearance to be completely transformed in just a few minutes. The black dial with luminescent hour markers ensures excellent readability, while the red GMT hand allows you to track a second time zone. The date window at the 3 o’clock position is complemented by the iconic Cyclops lens. The watch is fitted with a steel Oyster bracelet and is water-resistant to 100 meters.

Inside, it is powered by the automatic Caliber 3185 or 3186, depending on the specific year of manufacture. Both in-house movements offer an independently adjustable hour hand, a GMT function for displaying a second time zone, and a power reserve of approximately 50 hours. Thanks to COSC certification, they are known for their precision, robust construction, and long service life, which has earned the 16710 a reputation as one of the best Rolex travel watches of its generation.

The Rolex GMT-Master II 16710 is one of the most sought-after modern vintage models from Rolex. The fact that this is a model from the very end of production, featuring all three iconic bezel variants—Pepsi, Coke, and Black—makes it an exceptionally attractive collector’s item that combines historical significance, everyday practicality, and timeless design.
