Description
Few watches carry as much history as the Rolex GMT-Master, first created in 1955 for Pan Am pilots who needed to track two time zones at once. Its red and blue bezel, affectionately nicknamed the “Pepsi,” originally helped distinguish day from night hours, and it has since become one of the most iconic colourways in watchmaking. The Reference 16710 is a celebrated modern classic, produced from 1989 to 2007, with a 40mm stainless steel case, a bidirectional rotating bezel with an aluminium insert, and a crisp black dial with luminous hour markers. Its independently adjustable hour hand and red 24-hour GMT hand allow the wearer to follow up to three time zones simultaneously. Paired with the robust Oyster bracelet and finished with a Cyclops-magnified date at 3 o’clock, the 16710 remains a favourite among collectors and travellers alike, prized as the last GMT-Master II of its era with a traditional aluminium bezel.
