Rolex GMT Master II, 116710BLNR

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 has the long awaited bicolour black and blue ceramic bezel. This watch has never been worn, still has all the protective stickers intact and has the added benefit of the new 5 year Rolex warranty. It is supplied with the original boxes, both swing tags, instruction book and Rolex warranty card.
