Rolex GMT Master II, 116710LN

The Rolex GMT was originally designed in partnership with Pan Am Airways and issued to crew on the long haul flights. GMT stands for Greenwich Mean Time and the watch was unique at the time as it enabled flight crews to read different time zones at a glance.The current 116710 GMT Master II watches were introduced in 2007 incorporating a number of technical changes from its predecessor, the 16710. These included the Parachrom hairspring, for better timekeeping, a more robust bracelet and clasp. Most notable was the introduction of the scratch and fade resistant ceramic bezel.This Rolex GMT Master II is in excellent condition, worn on only a handful of times, and is supplied with the original boxes, Rolex warranty card, instruction booklet, original receipt of sale and swing tags. Some Rolex seals still visible on the inner deployment clasp.Purchased directly from Charles Fox jewellers of Bournemouth in May 2014.
