Watch Spotting Ellen DeGeneres Wearing The New GMT Pepsi

November 26, 2022

Anyone who is part of the watch community will probably agree that watch spotting can be a really satisfying activity. I sometimes entertain myself by checking out the wrists of others on the tram or plane sitting next to me. You usually have a preconceived idea of what a wearer or an Omega guy looks like. These are perfect occasions to assure your theory about them. Not to mention, when you see a special piece, a limited edition or a cool vintage watch. All of a sudden, the guy who occupies the whole armrest next to you earns your respect. Watch spotting has another way too; watching movies and TV. Todays Full HD TVs allow you not only to see the watch crystal clear but also to pause the program while you take that screenshot for the watch forum. Thats what I did while watching Ellen on Jimmy Kimmel Live.That bracelet is a clear giveaway – Screen outtake from Jimmy Kimmel LiveEllen DeGeneresIf you ve been living under a rock for the past 25 years and have no idea who Ellen DeGeneres is let me bring you up to speed. She is one of the most influential women in television next to the likes of Oprah and Barbara Walters. Ellen is a stand-up comedian, actress, writer, producer, talk show host, LGBT activist just to name a few of her titles. The list goes on and on. She started her career doing stand-ups in the early 80s. By the end of the decade she was a known comedian and slowly film rolls found her too. She starred in movies such as the 1993 comedy, Coneheads. However, the biggest breakthrough was Ellens TV appearances. Her series Ellen ran for 4 seasons and since 2003 she is the host of her own talk show; The Ellen DeGeneres Show.Screen outtake from Jimmy Kimmel LiveWatch EnthusiastEllen has many loves that include animals, charity organizations and watches. She has been seen wearing a number of different models from the Swiss brand throughout her career. A celebrity wearing a watch? Wow, what a story, right? Wrong. Ellen does not only wear the latest and flashiest watches todays celebs would sport. She has a number of vintage models in her collection too. Which means she either has a great taste for the brand (we hope so) or someone hand selects those timepieces with a meticulous taste. Among others, she owns a vintage 1655 Explorer II, a number of vintage Daytonas (6263, 6241, 6265) a Yachtmaster with the Oysterflex rubber strap and a white gold Submariner. Just last week while appearing at Jimmy Kimmel Live promoting her new Netflix special Ellen was sporting the new GMT Master II (126710BLRO) Pepsi steel from 2018.Ellen wearing her vintage Daytona while fellow comedian Jerry Seinfeld is sporting a Breitling – Screen outtake from The Ellen DeGeneres Show126710BLRO novelties are always one of, if not, the most anticipated timepieces of the Baselworld show. Their booth is easily the most photographed exhibition stand in the show. As soon as the new novelties are out you literary have to wait minutes before you could get a glimpse of them in the booths display windows. This years showstopper was obviously the steel GMT-Master II Pepsi, a model , so far, only released as a white gold version on an Oyster bracelet. Of course, there are many vintage references in steel but since stopped producing the reference 16710 in 2007 there has been no Pepsi GMT. Until this year. The new GMT-Master II retails for $8.400 (in Germany). That is if you can get one. Well, apparently Ellen DeGeneres did. She added yet another iconic model to her epic collection and we could not be more jealous.For the website please click here.
