Retired by Rolex at Watches and Wonders 2026, the “Pepsi” GMT-Master II carries the jet-age spirit first made for Pan Am pilots in the 1950s. Picture Leonardo DiCaprio in his Pan Am uniform in Catch Me If You Can, then picture this icon on the wrist of any collector who lives for the next boarding call.

Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Cut from a real meteorite, the dial shows a crisscross crystal pattern formed inside an ancient asteroid over millions of years, so no two are alike. Carved from solid 18k white gold, the 40mm case mixes mirror-polished flanks with brushed lug tops. Draped across the wrist, the Oyster bracelet pairs polished center links with brushed outer links and wears with a satisfying heft.

Functions include hours, minutes, hacking seconds, date, a 24-hour GMT hand, and a rotating 24-hour bezel. Sitting at 3 o’clock, the Triplock screw-down crown winds the Calibre 3285 when unscrewed to position one and turned clockwise. Pulled to position three, it stops the seconds hand and turns the minute, hour, and red 24-hour GMT hands together to set home time first. Pushed back to position two, it jumps the local hour hand forward or back one hour at a time, and the date follows along. Spinning both ways, the blue and red ceramic bezel lets the red hand read another time zone, a color combo Captain America would salute.

Comes as a complete set, double-boxed with green inner box, cream outer box, Rolex warranty card, card wallet, Guarantee Manual, and green Rolex seal hang tag.

Life moves pretty fast, as Ferris Bueller warned, and retired legends like the “Pepsi” move even faster. For the traveler who wants the boldest take on an icon, it might be time to start boarding.
