{"title":"Rolex Pepsi GMT-Master II Watches","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pepsi is the Rolex GMT-Master II with the red and blue bezel, BLRO in Rolex's own color code. The pairing goes back to the original GMT-Master in 1955, when a red and blue insert split the 24-hour scale into daylight and night hours for Pan Am flight crews. Rolex carried the combination forward ever since, most recently as the steel 126710BLRO on the Jubilee bracelet and the white gold 126719BLRO.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRolex discontinued the Pepsi in 2026. The white gold 126719BLRO came off the catalog in April, which took the meteorite dial and the midnight blue lacquer dial out of production with it, and the steel 126710BLRO went the same year. White gold examples trade from the high $40,000s, with meteorite dials running well above that. Every Pepsi we list is authenticated in-house by our watchmakers in New York before it reaches this page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMeteorite never photographs the way it reads in person. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/book-appointment?source=Collection_Page\"\u003eBook time to see one →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collection-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat is the Rolex Pepsi?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003ePepsi is what collectors call the red and blue bezel on a GMT-Master II. Rolex codes that combination BLRO and has never used the nickname itself. The name came straight from the soda. The most recent generation ran as the steel 126710BLRO and the white gold 126719BLRO.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eIs the Rolex Pepsi discontinued?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes. Rolex removed the white gold 126719BLRO from its catalog in April 2026, and the steel 126710BLRO was discontinued the same year. Both the meteorite and the midnight blue lacquer dial went out of production with the white gold reference.

Both are the same GMT-Master II case and the same movement. The Pepsi bezel is red and blue, coded BLRO. The Batman bezel is blue and black, coded BLNR.

Rolex refers to the bezel only by its color code, BLRO.
