SUMMARY 

Launched at Baselworld 2018 to the excitement of watch enthusiasts and collectors globally, the reference 126710BLRO marked the return of the iconic blue and red-bezelled ‘Pepsi’ GMT-Master II after years of absence. Upon its launch, Rolex introduced several significant updates, including a revised case, a ‘Cerachrom’ ceramic bezel, and a new movement; the brand’s in-house developed COSC-certified 3285 calibre. This watch’s case measures 40mm in diameter and wears more substantially than its stated dimensions thanks to the large squared-off lugs synonymous with modern Rolex design. The lacquered black dial has been carried over from the previous generation, but the hands and hour markers have increased in size. Attached to the case is the Jubilee bracelet with an Oysterlock safety clasp, and an inbuilt Easylink extension; a Rolex-patented innovation, which provides 5mm of tool-free adjustment.
