The Rolex GMT-Master II reference 126710BLRO pairs an Oystersteel case and black dial with the red-and-blue bezel collectors call “Pepsi.” Its defining practical feature is a 24-hour hand for tracking a second time zone while the local hour hand can be set independently. Rolex lists calibre 3285 and an approximately 70-hour power reserve. This is a specification-led review: firsthand wear, comfort and performance testing are not established here.

What is the Rolex Pepsi GMT-Master II 126710BLRO?

126710BLRO is the reference number for an Oystersteel GMT-Master II with a 40 mm case, black dial and red-and-blue two-colour Cerachrom bezel insert. “Pepsi” is a collector nickname for that color combination, not the formal model name used in Rolex’s brochure. The reference number matters because other GMT-Master II versions can share the family name while differing in materials, bezel colors or configuration.

Rolex’s official reference brochure identifies this reference in a Jubilee-bracelet configuration. Rolex’s GMT-Master II collection description says the model family is offered with Oyster or Jubilee bracelets; that family-level statement does not establish that every bracelet is available for every reference, market or production date.

How the GMT function works

The arrow-tipped 24-hour hand makes one revolution around the dial in 24 hours, while the regular hour hand indicates local time. Set the 24-hour hand to a second time zone and use the bezel’s 24-hour scale to read it; the bezel rotates in either direction, allowing the displayed second time zone to be offset from the hand’s reference.

#1 Best Overall
Rolex, Pre-loved Pepsi GMT Master II 16710 40MM, Black
  • Pre-Loved Condition: Excellent; Light scratching and tarnishing throughout hardware
  • Made in Switzerland
  • Flip-lock clasp
  • Signature upon delivery required

The practical advantage is that the local hour hand can be adjusted independently when changing time zones without stopping the watch or losing the 24-hour hand’s reference time. Rolex’s brochure also specifies an instantaneous date and stop-seconds, which lets the seconds hand stop when setting the time.

Movement and specifications

Specification 126710BLRO
Case 40 mm, Oystersteel
Dial Black
Bezel Bidirectional rotatable bezel with two-colour 24-hour Cerachrom insert
Movement Rolex calibre 3285, self-winding
Power reserve Approximately 70 hours, as stated by Rolex; not an independent test result
Functions stated by Rolex Second time zone, independent rapid-setting of the hour hand, instantaneous date, stop-seconds and 24-hour display
Bracelet in the exact reference brochure Five-piece Jubilee bracelet with Oysterlock safety clasp and Easylink 5 mm comfort extension

The case, movement and bracelet details above come from Rolex’s reference brochure; Rolex’s collection page explains the GMT hand, rotating bezel and calibre 3285. The approximately 70-hour figure is the manufacturer’s stated reserve, not a measured result for an individual watch.

Jubilee or Oyster: what should buyers compare?

The exact reference brochure documents a Jubilee bracelet. Rolex describes the Oyster as a three-piece-link bracelet and Jubilee as a five-piece-link bracelet across the GMT-Master II family, but does not establish in these sources that both are offered on every 126710BLRO in every market or production period. When considering a particular watch, verify its actual bracelet, reference details and provenance rather than assuming a configuration from a general collection page.

CADISEN Pagani Design GMT Fully Automatic Mechanical Men's Watch 40MM Date 100M Waterproof Stainless Steel Submersible Rotating Ceramic Bezel Men's Sports Watch PD-1662(Blue red)
  • Pagani Design 1662 Men's Watch: Pagani Design GMT features a black dial, two-tone ceramic bezel, independent 24-hour hand and 24-hour scale bidirectional rotating outer ring, which can display the time in two time zones at the same time: the date display on the simple design dial creates a simple, high-quality appearance. (Note that the bezel of the red series is not made of ceramic)
  • Self-winding Automatic Movement: Reliable performance requires daily wear (8+ hours) or 20-30 manual crown winds (clockwise rotation to kickstart). The watch is built with 316L stainless steel case (durable and anti-corrosion) and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective convex lens (effectively reducing glare, protecting dial from scratches), merging durability with modern style for long-term use
  • Clear reading: Like all professional watches, the GMT watch is equipped with a self-luminous display to ensure excellent readability anywhere, even in the dark. The large hands and simple hour markers - triangle, circle, rectangle - are filled with luminous material, emitting a long-lasting glow.
  • 100M/10Bar/10ATM Water Resistant: Adopts classic screw-down crown with double waterproofing system (shoulders on both sides integrated into center case), tested by professional precision instruments for reliable water resistance. Suitable for swimming and diving. Cooperating with the luminescent hands and markers, it can meet the needs of low-light or underwater use, ensuring clear reading in various environments
  • Satisfaction Guarantee: We will replace your product within 60 days without any questions; Pagani watch quality issues warranty for 1 year, 24-hour customer service, if you encounter any quality problems, please contact us immediately and we will do our best to solve the problem.

Choosing between bracelet styles is partly a matter of appearance and personal comfort. There is no firsthand comparison of fit here, so a buyer who can do so should try the specific watch and bracelet on wrist. The brochure specifies an Oysterlock safety clasp and Easylink 5 mm comfort extension for its Jubilee configuration.

Is the steel Pepsi discontinued?

As of the sources checked for this review, the evidence points to a reported halt in further deliveries, not a direct Rolex announcement. WatchPro USA reported on March 2, 2026, that authorized dealers had confirmed Rolex told them there would be no further deliveries of the steel red-and-blue Pepsi GMT-Master II. That is attributed trade reporting rather than an official Rolex statement.

Rolex’s 2026 new-watches catalogue page is a place to check current official listings, but the material available for this review does not itself announce that reference 126710BLRO has been discontinued. Catalogue listings, dealer stock and waitlists can change, so confirm the status in your market with Rolex or an authorized retailer. A report of no further deliveries does not establish that all remaining retailer or pre-owned inventory has disappeared.

Is the 126710BLRO worth buying?

Its clearest case is for someone who wants a steel GMT-Master II with the red-and-blue bezel, a useful independently adjustable local hour hand and Rolex’s stated approximately 70-hour reserve. Whether it is worth the outlay depends on the actual price, condition, configuration and provenance of the watch being considered. A current retail price, market-specific tax, authenticated pre-owned value and inventory level were not established for this review, so no price or value premium can be responsibly stated.

Before committing, compare the exact watch with other GMT-Master II references on bezel and material, bracelet, case size, movement, time-zone operation, purchase route and verified price. Ask for documentation and a clear account of service and ownership history, especially when buying outside an authorized retailer. No seller, listing or authentication service has been verified here.
