A Brief Overview Of The Rolex Nicknames Featured In This Video:
ROLEX PEPSI: Rolex released the first GMT Master in the 1950s, featuring a red and blue bezel to distinguish between day and night hours. The two-tone bezel has since become synonymous with the innovative pilot’s watch and is called the “Rolex Pepsi” after the famous soda.
ROLEX SMURF: is the white gold Submariner ref. 116619LB with a blue dial and bezel. The lustrous white metal finish, crisp white Chromalight hour markers, and vibrant blue dial and bezel resemble the adorable Belgian cartoon characters.
ROLEX COOKIE MONSTER: Rolex discontinued the Rolex Smurf ref. 116619LB in favor of the new model ref. 126619LB. It kept the same blue bezel but swapped the matching blue dial for black. This black and blue colorway has since earned the watch the nickname “Rolex Cookie Monster.” Some collectors also refer to it as the “Rolex Blueberry.”
ROLEX HULK: Ref. 116610LV was the first Submariner to sport a green ceramic bezel and a matching green dial. As a 5-digit model, it also features slightly larger crown guards and broader lugs than its 5-digit predecessors, leading to the Marvel-inspired nickname “Rolex Hulk.”
ROLEX BATMAN & BATGIRL: The Rolex Batman, ref. 116710BLNR was the first GMT Master II to feature a two-tone ceramic bezel and the first to sport a black and blue bezel. The darker bezel insert and accompanying blue GMT hand are reminiscent of the Dark Knight himself, hence the nickname “Rolex Batman.”
Ref. 116710BLNR was only ever produced on the three-link Oyster bracelet; however, when it was discontinued in favor of the current-production ref. 126710BLNR, the Oyster bracelet was swapped for the dressier 5-piece link Jubilee bracelet. This swap led to the nickname “Rolex Batgirl.” Today, ref. 126710BLNR is available on either the Oyster or Jubilee bracelet.
ROLEX ROOTBEER: is yet another Rolex GMT with a soda-inspired nickname. This time, it sports brown, gold, and cream hues reminiscent of Root Beer. Many variations of the Rolex Root Beer exist, including those with an aluminum bezel in either all-brown or two-tone, dials decorated with distinctive yellow gold nipple hour markers, and even a modern ceramic model with a black and brown ceramic bezel and Everose.
ROLEX PAUL NEWMAN: His wife gifted the beloved actor and racing enthusiast Paul Newman a Rolex Daytona around the late 1960s. He wore the watch religiously for the next several decades, forever cementing the iteration he wore as the “Rolex Paul Newman.” His watch had a white Panda dial with black sub-dials decorated with distinctive Art Deco numerals and square-tipped hashes. Other variations of the Daytona with these unusual sub-dials are also called Rolex Paul Newman watches. They include black or white dials and even stainless steel or gold metal finishes.
Rolex Steve McQueen: is the Rolex Explorer II ref. 1655. The inaugural model was released in the early 1970s and featured a vibrant orange arrow hand and a bezel with alternating numerals and hash marks. Curiously enough, McQueen was never known to wear the watch. Rather, the association is rumored to have originated from an advertising campaign from the 1970s.
Rolex President: To be considered a Rolex President, the watch must feature a President bracelet. It features rounded links and is exclusive to the Day-Date and select variations of the Lady-Datejust. The powerful nickname stems from the Day-Date’s appearance on many American Presidents’ wrists.
