OUR SELECTION OF straps FOR THE ROLEX GMT MASTER PEPSI

The GMT Master has been one of the most iconic timepieces in Rolex collections for over six decades, alongside the Submariner. From its launch in 1954, the GMT-Master has been distinguished by its famous red and blue 24-hour graduated rotating bezel, symbolizing day and night.

Both sophisticated and sporty, but also robust and refined, this watch was originally designed for Pan-Am captains: equipped with an additional hand that circled the dial in 24 hours, it allowed airline pilots on intercontinental flights, which were booming at the time, to read the time in two time zones simultaneously, hence its name: GMT Master, the acronym GMT meaning Greenwich Mean Time.

As a reminder, the term GMT was replaced in 1972 by the abbreviation UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), however, many watch brands as well as most watch enthusiasts continue to use the abbreviation GMT to refer to dual time zone watches.

Very quickly, the Rolex GMT Master was adopted not only by pilots, but also by businessmen and then by the stars of the time. From Robert Redford to Tom Selleck and Dustin Hoffman… Its success has never waned since.

Over the years, the model has obviously evolved… but in small steps, as is always the case with Rolex. Reference 1675 was followed by reference 16750 , then the GMT Master II reference 16710 , and the GMT Master II reference 116719 BLRO in white gold…

Originally, the GMT-Master's bezel disc was made of transparent blue and red plexiglass. However, deemed too fragile, Rolex quickly abandoned these bezels, switching in 1959 with the ref. 1675 to anodized aluminum bezels, which often develop a beautiful patina today. This watch was produced until the late 1970s . It is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after vintage Rolex "Professional" watches on the market.
