GMT-Master II Pepsi
The Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi pairs a red-and-blue bezel with one of watchmaking’s most useful travel functions: a local-hour hand you can move independently as you cross time zones. The colors divide day from night on the 24-hour scale, but they also give this otherwise businesslike steel Rolex its unmistakable character.
Introduced in 2018, the 126710BLRO brought the ceramic Pepsi bezel to stainless steel, initially on a Jubilee bracelet; an Oyster option followed in 2021. That choice matters on the wrist: Jubilee feels supple and visually intricate, while Oyster gives the watch a quieter, more utilitarian look. Both have an Easylink extension for a little extra room.
The 3285 lets the seconds keep running while you adjust the local hour, preserving your reference time. When handling one, try that adjustment across midnight—the date follows the local-hour hand in both directions—and make sure the 24-hour bezel turns cleanly through its clicks.
What owners love
- The independently adjustable local-hour hand is genuinely useful when travelling: you can change the hour without stopping the watch or disturbing the minutes, while the GMT hand stays on home time.
- On the Jubilee bracelet, it feels supple and comfortable rather than bulky for a 40mm watch. The Easylink extension is handy when your wrist swells, without needing to resize the bracelet.
- The red-and-blue bezel gives it personality even with an otherwise straightforward black dial. Owners often enjoy how the ceramic colours change character between indoor light and sunshine.
Common Criticisms
- The ceramic Pepsi colours aren't always the crisp red and blue people expect: the red can look pinkish and the blue can lean purple in some lighting. Some owners love that variation; others wish the colours stayed closer to the older aluminium Pepsi inserts.
- The polished clasp picks up visible hairlines quickly in ordinary desk use. It's a recurring irritation for owners who otherwise find the bracelet very comfortable.
