Under the condition of modern international lifestyle, intercontinental travel is increasingly popular, and mechanical watches with multiple time zone indication function are quite popular. Among them, GMT dual time function can only display two time zones, and UNIVERSAL time function can simultaneously display 24 universal time zones. It was Louis Cottier (1894-1966), the super watchmaker of the last century, who patented the world time design of the middle ring in the 1930s. This was a unique mechanism for visually displaying time not only in local time, but in all the other 24 major time zones on Earth - the so-called "world time".

No.2 Rolex Steel Pepsi Red blue Ring five bead Chain Greenwich type II 126710BLRO-0001
Rolex's dual-time watches have a long history. The original GMT-Master Ref.6542 was designed by Rolex in 1954 at the request of Pan Am Airways, which needed a watch to display a second time zone for its pilots to use on Boeing 707 planes that spaned multiple time zones.
Rolex's solution was to provide a fourth hand that rotated every 24 small turns and displayed a second time zone on the rotating bezel (the experience with rotating bezels came from the 1953 introduction of the Ref.6202 turn-o-graph). The bezel is divided into red and blue and is decorated with 24-hour numbers. The red and blue color scheme resembles the Pepsi logo, hence the name Pepsi Circle.
The GmT-Master II (Model 116719BLNO) is a platinum red and blue GMT-Master II (model 116719BLNO). In 2018, Rolex finally released the ceramic red and blue GMT-Master III 126710BLRO-0001 in refined steel.
The new Pepsi Ring brings a new watch chain, the new Jubilee commemorative watch chain - the first time Rolex has paired Oysterclasp with a Jubilee five bead chain. Obviously the five-bead chain is softer and more comfortable to wear. The Oysterlock fold-out safety clasp also comes with a Rolex Easylink 5mm extension bar that allows the wearer to accurately adjust the strap length.
