The history of the Rolex GMT-Master debuted with a collaboration with the now defunct Pan American Airways, the first model was released in 1954-1955 and given to the crew on the long-haul flights. The major feature was the second time zone (GMT) with dedicated hand giving time on the rotatable red & blue bezel that had a 24-hour display, hence the “Pepsi” nickname.<\/p>\n

The model became quickly popular as a pilot’s watch and very recognisable among international world travellers.
\nVarious upgrades and metal variations were released over the years such as bi-color, full gold but the most famous remain the steel versions nicknamed respectively; Coke due to its red\/black bezel, model that is discontinued today, Pepsi for the red\/blue bezel and Batman for the blue & black bezel model.<\/p>\n

*The famous Genevian watchmaker stays loyal to his iconic design and shapes but adds always \u00ab the ingredient \u00bb to give it this magical touch!<\/p>\n

This piece has the signature monobloc case of 40mm but this time in white gold and the bi-directional bezel in red & blue ceramic. It features an hypnotizing meteorite dial with shades from silver to grey that gives a gorgeous and mystery look to the whole watch. Luminescent hours markers and hands make this dial even more “out of this world”! The central hands indicates the local hours & minutes while the red hand is the second timezone indicator. The local or home time can be easily changed by the screw-down crown. The date is as usual visible at 3 o\u2019clock with the \u00ab loop \u00bb effect to facilitate the reading.<\/p>\n

The self-winding movement with a power-reserve of 70-hours is protected by the white gold monobloc armor for more efficiency and to avoid any alien elements to penetrate this space.<\/p>\n

A white gold Oyster bracelet with Oysterlock clasp will fix this superb timepiece around lucky wrists.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
