GMT Master 16700 Pepsi Tritium N Series

  The Rolex GMT-Master Ref. 16700 with an N-series serial number dates the watch's production to approximately 1991. This specific reference is highly regarded by collectors as the last of the "original" GMT-Master line before the model was fully superseded by the GMT-Master II.

• Production Era: The 16700 reference was produced from roughly 1988 to 1999.

• Dial & Lume: Features a black dial with white gold surrounds on the hour markers. As an N-series from the early '90s, it uses tritium luminescence, typically indicated by "SWISS-T<25" at the bottom of the dial.

• Pepsi Bezel: The iconic red and blue aluminum bidirectional bezel insert.

• Movement: Uses the Caliber 3175 movement. Unlike the GMT-Master II (Ref. 16710), the 24-hour hand on the 16700 is not independent; you must rotate the bezel to track a second time zone.

• Quickset Date: Despite being a non-independent GMT, the 16700 features a convenient quickset date function, which the newer 16710 of the same era lacked.
