Generic GMT-Style Wristwatch with Red and Blue 'Pepsi' Bezel

This is a stainless steel wristwatch designed in the style of a traditional GMT diving or pilot's watch. The most prominent physical characteristic is the bi-color rotating bezel in red and blue, often referred to in horology as a 'Pepsi' bezel. The watch features a black dial with non-numerical hour markers, including a triangular index at the 12 o'clock position and circular indices elsewhere. It is paired with a multi-link stainless steel bracelet commonly known as a 'Jubilee' style, which is characteristic of mid-20th-century luxury sports watches. The case appears to be approximately 40-42mm in diameter. Crucial for identification, the dial is notably 'sterile,' meaning it lacks brand names, logos, or Swiss-made text, which typically indicates a generic homage watch, a kit build, or a replica rather than a luxury heritage piece. The hands appear to include a 'Mercedes' style hour hand and a thin seconds hand. Visible condition issues include surface scratches and scuffing on the polished center links of the bracelet and the side of the case, consistent with regular wear. The alignment of the triangle on the bezel does not perfectly line up with the 12 o'clock marker, suggesting lower manufacturing tolerances. The crown is large and guarded by integrated case shoulders. This item represents a modern 'homage' style likely produced within the last 10 years, utilizing mass-produced components to mimic the aesthetic of a classic Rolex GMT-Master II without the associated branding.
