Why choose this model?
A modern classic.
This reference reinterprets the legendary “Pepsi” design in robust Oystersteel with a two-tone Cerachrom bezel in red and blue — made from high-tech ceramic, scratchproof and impervious to fading.
Travel functionality perfected.
Powered by the in-house Calibre 3285, the GMT-Master II allows independent hour adjustment without stopping the movement, letting travellers easily switch between local and home time.

Heritage and collectability.
The “Pepsi” bezel is deeply tied to Rolex’s aviation history and remains one of the most emblematic combinations in watchmaking. Its enduring popularity and limited availability make this reference highly desirable among collectors.
Value and longevity.
Owing to strong global demand and controlled production, the 126710BLRO consistently maintains its market value. It represents both a practical travel companion and a secure long-term investment.
