This marked the first time that a steel Rolex \u201cPepsi\u201d came equipped with a Cerachrom bezel, in addition to the new-generation Caliber 3285 movement. Beyond the Pepsi bezel, this\u00a0new Rolex GMT-Master II offered another surprise: a steel\u00a0Jubilee bracelet last seen in the GMT-Master line decades back.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">In 2021, Rolex announced that the GMT-Master II 126710 BLRO Pepsi would also be available with a three-link Oyster bracelet.

He owns an off-catalog ref. 116659 SABR in a white gold finish. The initials &#8220;SABR&#8221; in the model number translate to &#8220;SAphirs\u201d and \u201cBRillants&#8221; in French, indicating that this watch is covered in precious gems.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Particularly, the ref. 116659 SABR has a unidirectional rotating bezel with 36 sapphires and 12 diamonds. Rolex cleverly chose lighter sapphires for the first nine stones, followed by darker ones, to mimic the hash marks on conventional Submariner bezels. The 10-minute intervals and 0 marker on the bezel are also indicated by diamonds, while the sunburst blue dial with lume-filled hour markers balances out the lavish design. <em>Photos from Phillips and Antonela Roccuzzo on Instagram<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table class=\"mcnDividerBlock\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody class=\"mcnDividerBlockOuter\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"mcnDividerBlockInner\">\n<table class=\"mcnDividerContent\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF;

The chronograph complication consists of a 60-minute and 12-hour mono-counter, while the self-winding Caliber CH 28-520 C\/522 at its heart offers a 55-hour power reserve.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Flyback Chronograph Date adds the flyback function, which allows the wearer to restart the timer while the chronograph is running. This watch comes with a gradient brown dial, and while the watch is originally worn on an alligator leather band, Leo swapped that out for a sportier green rubber aftermarket strap. <em>Photos from Lionel Messi on Instagram<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table class=\"mcnDividerBlock\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody class=\"mcnDividerBlockOuter\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"mcnDividerBlockInner\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF;
