Rolex GMT-Master II 116710LN – 2012

Rolex GMT-Master II – Reference 116710LN

The Reference 116710LN (Lunette Noire) is a milestone in the history of Rolex. At its launch, it revolutionized the GMT series through the use of state-of-the-art materials and more substantial proportions. As the first GMT-Master II in stainless steel with a Ceramic bezel, it marks the transition from the classic tool watch look to the modern luxury sports watch.

• The Ceramic bezel: The most distinctive feature is the deep black, bidirectional rotating bezel made of scratch-resistant Cerachrom Ceramic. The engraved numerals are coated with a fine layer of platinum, ensuring lasting shine and perfect legibility.

• The “Super Case”: The 40 mm Oystersteel case impresses with wider lugs and a prominent crown guard. Combined with the “Maxi Dial” – larger indices and broader hands – the watch appears significantly more present on the wrist than its five-digit predecessors.

• The green accent: A special detail of this reference is the green GMT hand and the matching green “GMT-Master II” inscription on the dial. This splash of color gives the otherwise monochrome design a distinctive touch.

• Caliber 3186: Inside works the highly precise manufacture movement with the blue Parachrom hairspring, which is insensitive to magnetic fields and temperature fluctuations. The independently adjustable hour hand allows effortless setting of a second time zone while traveling.

• Comfort upgrade: The Oyster bracelet features polished center links and the solid Oysterlock safety clasp including the practical Easylink extension system.

The Rolex 116710LN is the perfect choice for purists who appreciate the classic Black of a GMT-Master but do not want to forgo the technical superiority and robustness of the modern Ceramic generation.
