SUMMARY

Launched at Baselworld 2018 to the excitement of enthusiasts and collectors, the ref. 126710BLRO marked the return of the iconic ‘Pepsi’ GMT-Master II after years of absence. Rolex introduced several significant updates, including a revised case, a “Cerachrom” ceramic bezel, and a new movement. The 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 a Jubilee bracelet with an Oysterlock safety clasp, and an inbuilt Easylink extension - providing 5mm of tool-free adjustment.
