There exists no better example of the Pepsi-bezel watch than Rolex’s own GMT Master. Whether you’re eyeing the reference 1675 and all of it’s glorious patina or the sharp-looking, thin-cased reference 16710, these watches wear as good as they look. But not many have $14,000 in extra cash to throw down on a watch that does nothing more than an Apple watch. Enter Vaer’s latest offering — the G2 Meridian GMT Watch.
Boasting a vintage-inspired 39mm case diameter and a beautiful Pepsi bezel that rivals the GMT Master itself, a bidirectional bezel, 150 meters of water resistance, and a brushed stainless steel case similar to the crown’s Oyster bracelet, you’ll get all of the best parts of Rolex’s ultimate travel watch at a fraction of the price. The best part? Vaer’s use of a Swiss Ronda quartz GMT movement allows the brand to keep the thickness of this watch down to a paltry 10.4mm — much thinner than the icon it emulates.
