Rolex GMT-Master II "Pepsi" (126710BLRO)

The Rolex GMT-Master II 126710BLRO — nicknamed the 'Pepsi' for its red-and-blue Cerachrom bezel — is the current-production, 40mm Oystersteel GMT tool watch built around the in-house Calibre 3285. Cazador has zero verified price observations, so no market range can be published. Its differential: it is the current steel Oyster-bracelet GMT-Master II wearing the red/blue two-tone Cerachrom bezel.

History

The Rolex GMT-Master II 126710BLRO carries the nickname 'Pepsi,' the collector shorthand applied to GMT-Master watches wearing a red-and-blue bicolor bezel [UNVERIFIED: the exact history, dating, and origin of the red/blue color association are not part of the manufacturer specs used as source data].

What is documented for the 126710BLRO is its current specification: a 40mm Oystersteel case built around the in-house Calibre 3285, engineered around Rolex's Chronergy escapement. The movement delivers approximately 70 hours of power reserve and carries Rolex's Superlative Chronometer certification.

The bezel is the defining visual signature of this reference: a bidirectional, 24-hour graduated Cerachrom ceramic insert split between red and blue halves. The GMT function itself is resolved through an independently adjustable 24-hour hand.

The black dial sits beneath a sapphire crystal fitted with the Cyclops lens over the date window, and the case is water resistant to 100 meters. The bracelet is the three-link Oyster, closed with the Oysterlock clasp.

Cazador's source data does not include a launch year for this exact configuration, so no date is stated here [UNVERIFIED]. As of this writing, the 126710BLRO remains part of Rolex's current catalog and in active production, with no discontinuation announced.
