The famous red-and-blue rotating GMT bezel, which appeared on the very first GMT-Master watch in 1955, inspired the model’s nickname, “Pepsi”. Not only did the two colors look great, they have a practical application too. The red area on the bezel represents daylight hours and blue is for night hours.
