Notes
This classic Rolex GMT Master II is fitted with a pepsi bezel (as it was sold new) and was maufactured during the final years of this model's production and is presented in outstanding condition. Retailed in 2007 (with a Z serial), this example has undergone a full Rolex Service (UK) in July 2015 so is still under service warranty until July 2017. If you are looking for a new condition old style GMT this would really be hard to beat. Classic Pepsi GMTs are becoming incredibly collectable. The watch will be sold with original sale papers, service papers, instruction booklet and box.

History
Introduced in 1954 through a collaboration with Pan Am airways, the GMT Master was designed to measure two timezones. The red arrow hand indicates the second timezone which can be adjusted by rotating the bezel. In 1989 the GMT Master II was introduced with a quick set hour hand which could be adjusted as a timezone was crossed. The classic models were discontinued in 2007. Given the enormous length of the model’s history, this model has featured in many iconic films and on celebrities including: Clint Eastwood, Marlon Brando, Honor Blackman (as Pussy Galore), Bruce Reynolds, Tom Selleck (as Magnum PI), Che Guevera, Jackie Stewart and many NASA astronauts.
