When the Pan-Am company needed a watch that could display multiple time zones simultaneously Rolex was able to deliver. Having a watch that kept good time was a necessity for pilots in those days. Pan-Am pilots were not the only men in the air wearing these watches, however. NASA, US Air Force pilots and traveling business people all adopted the watch.
Throughout history celebrities have been spotted wearing the Rolex GMT. Tom Selleck wore a Pepsi bezel GMT when he played Magnum P.I. Gonzo author Hunter S. Thompson would wear two GMTs. One showed the time in Havana, the other in Moscow. Jack Swigert wore one on Apollo 13, and Ed Mitchell during the Apollo 14 moon.
This 2004 Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 16710 with the iconic Pepsi bezel (red/blue) represents a perfect blend of classic style and modern refinement. This year marked the introduction of the no-hole case, giving the watch a sleeker, more contemporary look while enhancing durability. Inside beats the trusted Caliber 3185, offering smooth, reliable GMT functionality with an independently adjustable 24-hour hand. This GMT II, ref.16710, is in stunning condition, complete with its full set and a needle pepsi bezel.
