Rolex GMT-Master II 126710BLRO "Pepsi" Unboxing Video

An unboxing video of the Rolex GMT-Master II reference 126710BLRO nicknamed "Pepsi".
It was easily one of the two most talked-about new watches at Baselworld 2018. Finally, there is once again a Pepsi-bezel GMT-Master in steel.
The distinctive red and blue bezel has been the signature element of the GMT-Master ever since the release of the very first model, reference 6542, in 1955, although it's not clear who was the first to call it a "Pepsi" bezel.

The new model has the Cerachrom Pepsi bezel that debuted on the white gold model in 2014, which offers quite a bit technically vs. the aluminum bezel – it's for all intents and purposes scratchproof, and the colors won't fade over time.
The new steel Pepsi uses the latest version of the GMT movement: caliber 3285, which replaces the cal. 3186 used in the last aluminum bezel version.
In addition to better resistance to magnetism, the greater efficiency of the escapement produces a significantly longer power reserve: while the 3186 has a 48 hour running time, the 3285 offers 70 hours. In terms of accuracy, however, both movements are controlled to the same standard: ± 2 seconds per day.
Rolex began their newest generation of high-performance in-house made movements inside the Day-Date 40 watch, as well as the use of their latest generation of watch case production techniques. The new cases are very well finished and do indeed make for a slightly better experience than the outgoing generation of GMT-Master II watches.

The purpose of the two colors on the rotating bezel on a 24-hour GMT watch is to designate day and night hours for the second timezone. Since then, Rolex has experimented with a variety of single and two-tone bezels on GMT-Master watches. The most recent was the blue and black bezel on the steel 116710BLNR. Why didn’t they go straight to a red and blue bezel to begin with?
Rolex also took the GMT-Master II 126710BLRO launch as an opportunity to reintroduce the jubilee-style bracelet back into their sport watch collection. Recently offered for the Rolex Datejust 41 models in steel and gold, the GMT-Master II 126710BLRO’s jubilee bracelet is in all-steel and comes with a matching Oysterlock folding deployant clasp. This isn’t the first time a GMT-Master II watch has been available on such a bracelet – but it is the first time among the modern era of Rolex sport watches.
