The first Rolex GMT Masters adorned with their red and blue "Pepsi" bezels were developed in collaboration with the airline Pan Am Airways in the 1950s who wanted a watch capable of simultaneously displaying different time zones. Various improvements and slight aesthetic modifications over decades led to the creation of the GMT Master II in 1983. The reference 116710BLNR released in 2013, brought a major aesthetic change, it was nicknamed "Batman" because of its blue and black bezel.
