Rolex GMT Master One of the most anticipated new releases of this year is the Rolex GMT Master. In the 1950s Rolex invented the GMT dual time-zone, most notably the red and blue “Pepsi” version that saw the bezel divided with two colours to represent the separate hemispheres. Rolex then began to adopt ceramic bezels and left the Pepsi colour scheme only for its white gold watch, to the detriment of all the steel lovers. This year, Rolex finally brought back the Pepsi GMT in steel that’s finished with a sturdy Jubilee bracelet. Issue 32 2018 The Art of Luxury 113
