First introduced in 1954 with the reference 6542, the GMT-Master was developed to meet the needs of Pan Am pilots, enabling them to track multiple time zones during transatlantic flights. The GMT-Master II, introduced in 1983, brought a crucial mechanical advancement: the independently adjustable hour hand, allowing the wearer to set local time without stopping the seconds hand or altering the minute and 24-hour hands. The present reference 16 710, crafted from stainless steel, is a pleasant example of this celebrated lineage. The 40mm Oyster case is paired with a matching stainless steel Oyster bracelet, while its black dial features applied luminescent hour markers and the signature red arrow-tipped 24-hour hand, all designed for optimal legibility. The bidirectional rotating bezel, calibrated for 24 hours, sports the iconic blue and red aluminum insert, known among collectors as the “Pepsi” bezel, a hallmark design synonymous with the GMT-Master’s storied past. Offered with its original Rolex Warranty, this reference 16 710, combines functional innovation with timeless aesthetic appeal.
