Why on Earth would Rolex create a brown bezel GMT?

For the same reason Porsche brought us brown 911s, only 40 years later.

I've seen one up close and personal. It really works. It's a striking and handsome combination. I personally wouldn't go there but thank goodness there are designers/makers who have the balls to do something different.

Rolex is not RACIST! Brown is beautiful!

There may be a thread of truth in the above statement.

US Patent Application US 2015/0307406 describes in detail how the Pepsi Bezel was made. Reading the text also gives clues to other developments.

When using Copper or Selenium as a red colorant, one can achieve lovely reds. However, if something is "off" during the firing process (e.g., the atmosphere, a contaminant, incorrect percentages, etc.) one can produce a "liver" brown.

I think "chocolate" is a lighter shade and infinitely more attractive as an adjective.

I would be curious to see a side-by-side of the CHNR and Platona to compare the browns.

To each their own.
