In 1954, Rolex introduced the GMT-Master to meet the needs of pilots requiring a 24-hour time display for specific time zones. The Rolex GMT-Master II, a revolutionary evolution, features a new caliber enabling swift hour hand adjustments forward or backward in one-hour increments. This innovation ensures the continuous movement of the minute hand, enhancing the watch’s efficiency and accuracy. The Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 126710BLNR, a highlight of 2019, updates the immensely popular and recently discontinued black and blue “Batman” version from the previous generation. Recognized as the “Batman” for its distinctive black and blue bezel, and alternatively as “Batgirl” with the Jubilee bracelet, it inherits advancements from the previous year, including the caliber 3285 with an increased power reserve of 70 hours and the patented cerachrom bezel. This bezel, crafted from a single piece of blue ceramic with black color subsequently applied, is a patented feature. Notably, the numerals on the two-tone bezel are coated with a thin layer of platinum. The GMT-Master II, presented here in its latest iteration and remains in truly remarkable conditions. This sought-after example is considered a classic collectible in the realm of watches.
