Actor Harold Perrineau was in Los Angeles this week for the SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversations. He was seen on stage wearing a Rolex Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II with the coveted red-and-blue Cerachrom bidirectional bezel that gives this watch its nickname “Pepsi.” The distinctive two-tone bezel has been a signature element since the original GMT-Master was introduced in 1954. This watch is extremely intuitive to use as the 24-hour hand indicates home reference time and the hours and minutes indicate local time. The hour hand can be moved forward or backward independently of the minute and second hands, allowing travelers to change the time zone without losing precision. A new white gold model costs about $46,000, while a vintage model costs about $30,000.

First created in the 1980s, the watch gets its name from its ultra-flexible strap, which was inspired by the fluid movement of a panther. Other Cartier details include a silver-plated dial with black Roman numerals, blued sword-shaped hands and a crown set with a synthetic blue spinel. The Panthère models are mostly powered by quartz movements and this model costs $5,700.
