Introduced in the late 1980s, the 16700 preserved the original spirit of the GMT-Master that was first developed for Pan Am pilots in the 1950s, designed to track multiple time zones during long-haul flights. The iconic red and blue “Pepsi” bezel quickly became one of the most recognisable designs in the watch world and remains a favourite among collectors today. With its balanced 40mm proportions and timeless design, the 16700 represents a beautiful bridge between vintage charm and modern reliability — a classic travel companion that continues to age gracefully decades on.
