Celebrities Who Love the Rolex GMT Master

Rolex Pepsi as seen on Sylvester Stallone

The inaugural Rolex GMT-Master was the Pepsi, which many already know was named such because of its blue and red bezel. Not only is the bezel attractive, it comes in handy too in telling daytime (red) and nighttime (blue) – making it a favorite not just among Pan Am pilots but also NASA astronauts and the US Air Force.

Rolex Rootbeer as seen on Clint Eastwood

The Rolex Rootbeer probably has the most number of nicknames among GMT-Master watches. There’s the “Nipple Dial”, for the gold nipple hour markered models, “Clint Eastwood” for the ref 16753 which happens to be the legendary actor’s favorite, and the less common “Tiger Eye” for its resemblance to the precious gold and brown stone.

The 2018 Rolex GMT Master II releases have made their first celebrity appearances. Here they are on the wrists of Ellen DeGeneres (Rolex GMT Master II Pepsi ref 126710 BLRO), and Mark Wahlberg (Rolex GMT Master II Everose Rolesor).

Rolex Coke as seen on Drew Barrymore

Completing the round-up of soda-nicknamed GMT-Master watches is the Rolex Coke, named such because it matches the colors of a Coca-Cola bottle. The red and black combination gives it a stronger presence than the all-black bezel, but it is versatile nonetheless.
