Instead of dressing up as a caped crusader, we prefer to go the adult route and wear the original Rolex Batman watch. With some superpowers, the Rolex GMT-Master II 116710BLNR is the first Batman version of the replica Rolex GMT-Master II, one of the most coveted Rolex sports watches available today. Join us as we unveil the mystery of this black and blue high-tech GMT watch.
The Rolex GMT-Master II 116710BLNR flew into the limelight in 2013 to the delight of Rolex fans everywhere. It quickly earned the nickname “Batman” among Rolex enthusiasts because of its blue and black ceramic bezel that sits atop a 40mm stainless steel case.
The two-tone bezel did surprise many, as fake Rolex had always insisted that it was impossible to make a two-tone ceramic bezel from a single piece of ceramic. However, Rolex achieved this – and, of course, patented the process. After all, the masters never really gave away their secrets!
Another surprising detail is the choice of bezel colour, as copy Rolex had never put black and blue together before. The GMT-Master and GMT-Master II series have black bezels, blue and red bezels, black and red bezels, and even brown and gold bezels, but the Batman GMT-Master II 116710BLNR marks the Rolex’s first combination of black and blue. Interestingly, BLNR stands for “Bleu Noir”, French for “blue and black”. I’m sure you’ll agree that these colours are a match made in heaven for this ultra-modern GMT watch.
Remember, because the GMT hand on the GMT-Master II is set independently of the centre hand (unlike the GMT-Master I model), the Ref. 116710BLNR can display three time zones instead of just two, like the original Rolex GMT-Master replica watches from the 1950s, making it the This makes it the ideal companion to combat jet lag during travel.
The Rolex GMT-Master II 116710BLNR stays securely on your wrist thanks to the new stainless steel Oyster bracelet with its completely solid links and stronger Oyster folding clasp. There’s even an Easylink comfort extension link if you need to lengthen the strap by about 5 mm to fit your Batsuit.
With that in mind, the fake Rolex GMT-Master II 116710BLNR is no longer in production. After the discontinuation of the reference 116710BLNR, Batman is back, and Rolex has updated its famous black and blue GMT-Master II and replaced it with the updated reference 126710BLNR. If you are lucky enough to own the Rolex GMT-Master II 116710BLNR, wear it proudly this Batman Day and flaunt the fact that you are part of the exclusive Rolex League.
