about the watch

Designed to show the time in two different time zones simultaneously during intercontinental flights, the Rolex GMT Master is a legendary pilot’s watch known for its timeless design and historical significance. With its black dial, its famous red and blue “Pepsi” insert, stainless steel case and bracelet, this piece embodies all the iconic features of the first versions of the GMT Master. The 16700 reference, produced simultaneously with the 16710 reference, does not feature quick time adjustment but quick date adjustment, and fewer examples were produced.

This particular piece has all the characteristics of a future collector's item: an impeccable ‘Swiss Only’ dial, the famous Pepsi insert, its original box and papers, and an exceptional overall condition. Indeed, the watch sport a ‘Swiss Only’ dial where only the word ‘Swiss’ can be read at 6 o'clock. This feature is only visible on serial numbers A and U, representing a short production period (approximately one and a half years), making it a relatively rare attribute. In addition, the original Pepsi insert, with its elegant serif font, is flawless, adding charm and uniqueness to this timepiece.
As we like to say, neo-vintage watches perfectly combine vintage aesthetics with the durability and technology of modern watches.

The case has a lot of material and sharp edges. The buckle and bracelet are in excellent condition too. The Oyster bracelet is the original one and has no stretch.

The watch comes with its original box and outer box, warranty, Oyster booklet and red tag.

The movement is the original caliber 3175, which runs perfectly well.
