Rolex GMT-Master II Steel 116710LN - 2019

Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 116710LN (Steel, 2019)

The Rolex GMT-Master II with reference 116710LN from 2019 holds a very special place in the history of modern Rolex sports watches. When it was launched in 2007, it ushered in a new era: it was the very first GMT-Master II with the patented Cerachrom-Ceramic bezel and the distinctive Supercase. The abbreviation “LN” stands for Lunette Noire (black bezel) and gives this icon of pilot watches a wonderfully monochrome, elegant appearance. The year 2019 marks the final production year of this legendary reference – making a piece from 2019 the absolute last chance to own the perfect black GMT classic from the dawn of the Ceramic era.

• The groundbreaking Cerachrom-Ceramic bezel: The defining visual feature is the bidirectional rotating bezel made of scratch-resistant, ultraviolet-resistant black Ceramic. The recessed 24-hour numerals and graduations are coated with a fine platinum layer using the PVD process, providing a spectacular, subtle shine and lasting legibility.

• The green GMT statement on the dial: As a subtle but extremely coveted eye-catcher, the green 24-hour hand stands out on the deep black dial. Matching this, the “GMT-Master II” inscription is rendered in the characteristic Rolex green – an exclusive trademark that gives this reference a distinctive touch.

• Perfectly proportioned presence (Oyster case): The 40 mm case made of extremely corrosion-resistant Oystersteel (904L Steel) impresses with its robust lugs and solid crown guard. Thanks to its slim design and curved edges, the watch still fits excellently on any wrist.

• Three time zones at a glance: With the combination of the independently adjustable main hour hand (local time), the green 24-hour hand (home time), and the rotating 24-hour bezel, up to three different time zones can be read simultaneously with ease – the ultimate tool for globetrotters and frequent travelers.

• The unshakable manufacture caliber 3186: Inside works the proven automatic caliber 3186 movement. It is equipped with the paramagnetic blue Parachrom Breguet hairspring, which is insensitive to shocks and magnetic fields. The movement is certified as a Superlative Chronometer (-2/+2 seconds per day) and offers a power reserve of approximately 48 hours.

• Scratch-resistant Sapphire Crystal with Cyclops lens: The face of the watch is protected by a highly resistant Sapphire Crystal. At 3 o’clock is the iconic Rolex magnifying lens, which enlarges the Date by two and a half times for flawless legibility in everyday life.

• Uncompromising everyday suitability: Equipped with the triple Triplock winding crown and a hermetically screwed case back, the GMT-Master II is guaranteed waterproof to a depth of 100 meters (10 ATM). The blue Chromalight luminescent material ensures excellent legibility at night.

• The sporty-elegant Oyster bracelet: This classic is worn on the three-link Oystersteel bracelet, whose center links are highly polished and outer links are satin-finished. It is secured by the Oysterlock safety folding clasp with the practical Easylink system, which allows the bracelet to be extended by 5 mm in no time.

• The coveted finale of a legend (2019 edition): As a model from the very last production year 2019, the Ref. 116710LN enjoys absolute cult status. It combines the timeless elegance of a purely black sports watch with the historical significance of the brand’s first Ceramic model – an extremely value-stable and sought-after collector’s piece for connoisseurs.
