Vintage 1997 Rolex GMT-Master Chuck Yeager Sound Barrier Print Advertisement
Approximately 9 x 12 inches.
This vintage 1997 Rolex GMT-Master advertisement features General Chuck Yeager — the first man to break the sound barrier — standing before an F-15 fighter jet in full flight gear, celebrating the 50th anniversary of that legendary 1947 achievement. One of the most storied celebrity endorsements in watch advertising history, this original print ad pairs Yeager's unmatched aviation legacy with the iconic red-and-blue 'Pepsi' bezel GMT-Master, quoting him directly: 'I wore one when I broke the sound barrier in '47 and I still do today.' A must-have collectible ad for Rolex enthusiasts, aviation collectors, and admirers of mid-century American heroism.
