The Rolex GMT-Master 16750 Pepsi super clone recreates the vintage steel GMT-Master of the 1980s with a faded red-and-blue bezel insert, a matte black dial with cream-tone luminous plots and a red arrow-tipped 24-hour hand, all on a 40 mm case and a five-link Jubilee bracelet. It is the Pepsi before ceramic: softer colours, a warmer dial and the slim period proportions that the modern GMT-Master II no longer has.

Rolex GMT-Master 16750 Pepsi: Design and Movement

The red-and-blue bezel was the first colour scheme of the GMT-Master, created so that pilots could tell day hours from night hours at a glance: blue for the night half of the 24-hour scale, red for the day half. On the 16750, which sits between the original 1675 and the later 16700, the insert is aluminium, and over the years the sun fades it from deep colours to the washed-out blue and wine red that collectors now look for. This super clone reproduces that faded look from new, so the watch reads as a period piece rather than a modern ceramic GMT.

The red arrow hand makes one turn every 24 hours and points to home time on the bezel scale. Turning the bi-directional bezel shifts that scale, which is how a second time zone was read on the vintage watch. The matte dial with warm lume plots and the polished center links of the Jubilee bracelet complete the 1980s look.

Super Clone vs Genuine GMT-Master 16750

The super clone reproduces the 40 mm steel case, the faded Pepsi insert, the matte dial with aged-look lume and the Jubilee bracelet. The honest differences: the genuine 16750 runs the Rolex Cal. 3075 with a quickset date, while our clone movement’s calibre is unverified, so we do not quote a power reserve; the genuine watch was rated to 100 m, the super clone to 50 m; and a genuine 16750 Pepsi is a collector’s watch whose price depends on condition and on how its insert has faded, while the super clone costs $649.
