The Rolex 16700 GMT-Master Watch
Production Years:
The Rolex GMT-Master 16700 was first put into production 1988 alongside the GMT-Master II. The 16700 would continue production until 1999.
Defining Features:
Of course, the blue and red bezel of the 16700 is a quintessential defining feature. Though the colours were meant to represent the collaboration between Rolex and Pan American Airlines, the Rolex community quickly dubbed this timepiece the “Pepsi” instead.
The dual-time zone functionality is a classic feature of the GMT-Master. This model comes in a nicely sized 40mm stainless steel case and stylish stainless steel bracelet. This is also the only GMT-Master with a sapphire crystal. It is equipped with an automatic 3175 movement. In short, if you prefer the GMT-Master over the GMT-Master II, this is the most modern version of the timepiece you can find.
About Rolex Model Number 16700
Of all the Rolex watches one could choose, it’s hard to argue with the purchase of a GMT-Master with the Pepsi colouring. This is easily one of Rolex’s most popular timepieces, as this particular reference marks the end of an era.
The GMT-Master was so popular that Rolex decided to introduce a new reference while the GMT-Master II had already been in production. Though the GMT-Master was eventually removed from Rolex’s production entirely, it’s impressive that Rolex continued to release it for so long, and it’s a testament to its popularity. Though there are certainly other colours of the GMT-Master, the blue and red Pepsi bezel seems to stand out most in the conversation.
