Rolex GMT Master II Batman 116710BLNR

The Rolex GMT-Master II 116710LN is one of the most important modern Rolex sports watches, representing a pivotal moment in the evolution of the GMT-Master lineage. Introduced in 2007 and discontinued in 2019, it was the first stainless steel GMT-Master II to feature Rolex’s scratch-resistant Cerachrom ceramic bezel, replacing the aluminum inserts that had defined previous generations. Its monochromatic black bezel and black dial gave the watch a clean, versatile appearance that could transition effortlessly from international travel to everyday wear. Measuring 40mm in Oystersteel, the reference also introduced the "Super Case" design, featuring broader lugs and crown guards that gave the watch a more substantial wrist presence while maintaining the classic GMT-Master proportions.

Powering the 116710LN is Rolex’s in-house Caliber 3186, a COSC-certified automatic movement featuring an independently adjustable local hour hand and a 24-hour GMT hand for tracking multiple time zones. The movement incorporates Rolex’s Parachrom hairspring for enhanced resistance to shocks and magnetic fields, while offering the reliability and precision that have made the GMT-Master a favorite among pilots, travelers, and collectors alike. Distinctive details such as the green GMT hand and matching green "GMT-Master II" text on the dial set this reference apart from earlier GMT models and have become signature traits of the 116710LN. The watch was exclusively offered on the Oyster bracelet with polished center links and an Easylink comfort extension system, further emphasizing its blend of sport and luxury.

What makes the 116710LN especially desirable today is its unique place in Rolex history. It remains the last GMT-Master II ever produced with an all-black bezel, as Rolex shifted toward two-color Cerachrom inserts such as the Batman, Pepsi, and Bruce Wayne after its discontinuation. For many collectors, it represents the perfect bridge between vintage GMT-Master references and the modern ceramic-bezel era, combining contemporary materials with a timeless, understated aesthetic. As appreciation for discontinued Rolex sports models continues to grow, the 116710LN has earned a reputation as one of the most versatile and collectible GMT-Master references ever made—a watch equally admired for its historical significance, everyday practicality, and enduring design.
