With the increase of transatlantic flights in the 1960s, watch manufacturers realized the importance of dual time zone watches also called GMT. Introduced in 1969, the reference 2446C GMT was part of these new watches designed for pilots and jet set glitterali. The 24 hours bi-directional bezel offers a very clear readability to the wearer with the blue and red sector being clearly divided per hour.

Manufactured in 1972, the present example is the third execution reference 2446C GMT with plain steel hands, big sub registers, fluted pushers and plain caseback. Interestingly, there is no tritium symbol on the dial. Not only is this timepiece in exceptional condition but is also accompanied by its original box, hang tag, back sticker and the rarely seen original instruction leaflet.

Even though this very attractive Pepsi GMT is a tool watch, its flamboyant and attractive look is an invitation to go back to an alluring period where travelling was not just functional but also an adventure in itself.
