Rolex GMT-Master Steel II 116710LN - 2012

Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 116710LN

The Rolex GMT-Master II with reference 116710LN from 2012 is a modern milestone in the history of professional pilot watches. At its launch, this reference set new standards for Rolex sports models: it was the very first GMT-Master model with the scratch-resistant Cerachrom-Ceramic bezel and the powerful Supercase. The abbreviation “LN” (Lunette Noire) stands for the deep black bezel insert, giving the watch an extremely elegant, monochrome aesthetic. As a model from 2012, this GMT-Master II comes from the heyday of this era and embodies the perfect combination of timeless luxury, functional engineering, and indestructible everyday suitability.

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

• The green GMT statement on the dial: As a charming and 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 – the exclusive trademark of this reference.

• Prominent Oyster case (Supercase): The 40 mm case made of extremely corrosion-resistant Oystersteel (904L stainless steel) impresses with its distinctive lugs and solid crown guard. Despite its powerful presence, the watch fits excellently on any wrist thanks to its curved flanks.

• 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 dial is protected by a highly resistant Sapphire Crystal. At 3 o’clock, the iconic Rolex lens magnifies the Date by two and a half times for flawless legibility in everyday life.

• Uncompromising everyday suitability: Equipped with the triple-locked 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 satin-finished. It is secured by the Oysterlock safety clasp with the practical Easylink system, allowing the bracelet to be extended by 5 mm in no time.

• A timeless collector’s classic (vintage 2012): A specimen of Ref. 116710LN from 2012 represents the unmistakable charm of Rolex’s ceramic pioneering era. Since this model is no longer produced today, the black GMT classic is among the most sought-after and value-stable sports watches of the brand.
