- Soda watches | Pepsi Bezel Watches - "As you may have guessed, Pepsi bezel watches don’t actually have anything to do with cola - that’s just an affectionate nickname given to the color scheme since it happens to mimic the look of one of the world’s most famous brands. The true reason for the red and blue bezel is actually more practical (and cooler). As the Jet Age took off, so to speak, in the early 1950s, long-haul international flights were becoming more commonplace. So Pan Am approached Rolex about creating a watch for their pilots that could display two different timezones simultaneously during such flights. Rolex responded with the original GMT Master in 1955."
