Rolex GMT Master II 116710BLNR
The Rolex GMT-Master II 116710BLNR, affectionately known as the “Batman,” is a timepiece that seamlessly blends the world of luxury watchmaking with practical functionality. First introduced in 2013, the “Batman” quickly became one of the most sought-after models in Rolex’s lineup, thanks to its distinctive black and blue ceramic bezel and its dual time zone functionality, making it an ideal watch for frequent travelers and global explorers.
At the heart of the 116710BLNR is the iconic 40mm Oystersteel case, crafted from Rolex’s exclusive 904L stainless steel, which is renowned for its superior resistance to corrosion and its ability to maintain a lustrous finish. This robust case, combined with the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and the Triplock screw-down crown, ensures the watch’s durability and water resistance up to 100 meters.
One of the standout features of this model is the Cerachrom bezel insert, made from high-tech ceramic in a striking blue and black color combination—representing day and night. The bi-directional rotating bezel is engraved with a 24-hour scale, allowing the wearer to track an additional time zone using the distinctive GMT hand. The blue and black Cerachrom bezel is virtually scratch-proof and resistant to fading, ensuring that the watch maintains its vibrant look over time.
The dial of the GMT-Master II 116710BLNR is classic Rolex, featuring a sleek black background with bold, highly legible Chromalight hour markers and hands that emit a long-lasting blue luminescence in low-light conditions. The GMT hand, highlighted by a blue arrow tip, works in conjunction with the bezel to display a second time zone, making this timepiece invaluable for those who travel across multiple time zones. The date window at 3 o’clock is magnified by Rolex’s signature Cyclops lens, offering easy and clear date reading.
Powering the 116710BLNR is the Rolex Calibre 3186, a self-winding mechanical movement that is known for its precision and reliability. This COSC-certified chronometer movement is equipped with a Parachrom hairspring, offering excellent resistance to shocks and magnetic fields. The Calibre 3186 allows for independent adjustment of the hour hand, enabling the wearer to change local time without affecting the home time—perfect for travelers who frequently cross time zones. With a power reserve of approximately 48 hours, this movement guarantees optimal performance and accuracy.
The watch is paired with the iconic Oyster bracelet, crafted from solid Oystersteel. Known for its durability and comfort, the Oyster bracelet features a combination of polished center links and brushed outer links, enhancing its luxurious yet sporty appearance. The bracelet is fitted with the Oysterlock clasp, which prevents accidental opening, and the Easylink 5mm comfort extension, allowing for quick and easy adjustments to ensure a perfect fit throughout the day.
The Rolex GMT-Master II 116710BLNR “Batman” with an Oyster bracelet is not just a tool for global travelers—it is a symbol of style, precision, and innovation. Whether worn for business or leisure, this timepiece effortlessly combines functionality with a timeless aesthetic, making it one of the most recognizable and beloved models in the Rolex catalog.
Please note: The crystal has a small mark on the cyclops. We do not recommend replacing the crystal as it is original to the watch and the scratch does not detract from the overall wear. The insert is free from any major imperfections warranting replacemet.
