Rolex GMT-Master II 116710 BLNR AKA “The Batman”

The Rolex GMT Master II is a watch with a light and dark side, just like the Dark Knight himself. The Batman moniker is perfect for this reboot of Rolex's classic pilot's watch. It would be ideal for Bruce Wayne's split lifestyle. Smart enough to be worn with a dress shirt for a board meeting and tough enough to withstand an encounter with a Gotham City super villain, this 40 mm luxury timepiece has a showstopper feature. It's the first watch with a one-piece bi-colour ceramic bezel that's both scratch and fade-resistant.
The blue half of the bezel changes shade with the light. In the sunlight, you get a vibrant blue that's almost dazzling. If you're in neutral daylight, the blue tones down to a rich cornflower shade. In dim and dark spaces, it tones right down to darkest Prussian Blue. And the black? Well, that's got more depth to it than the deepest, darkest abyss. The blue half naturally segues into the black; lending the watch an air of subtle mystery. Bruce Wayne to a tee.
The bi-colour ceramic bezel has highly prominent engraved numerals and is set against Rolex 's signature black dial, giving the whole watch a classic masculine look and feel. The sapphire crystal has a Cyclops lens over the date for greater visibility. A nice at-a-glance touch. Speaking of visibility, the electric blue lume Rolex have added to the GMT-Master II is every bit as striking as the bezel.
Let's go behind the dial to the caliber 3186 automatic movement. The Rolex GMT Master II can display different time zones via a 24-hour hand, a bi-directional rotatable bezel, and conventional hour and minute hands. Which is exactly what you want when you're stepping off a plane and heading straight for your next meeting. But you will always know what time it is at home. Setting the time is a simple enough task thanks to the fact that you can isolate the hour hand and move it back and forth with the screw-down Triplock winding crown. And if you do happen to be on a covert mission to fight crime, the Parachrom hairspring can handle any sudden jolts or temperature changes. The movement also has a 48-hour power reserve.
The case is in 904L stainless steel, and is water resistant to 100 m (300 feet). The bracelet is also in 904L stainless steel. Rolex's handsome triple-link band sits comfortably around the wrist, and is securely held in place by the folding Oysterlock clasp. The 5 mm Easylink extension allows for greater comfort in hot conditions or changes in altitude. Ideal if, like Bruce, you spend a lot of time in the air.
The Rolex GMT Master II has the level of comfort you get from the perennially popular Rolex Datejust. It's a genuine pleasure to wear and walks the line between business and pleasure brilliantly. If you do happen to be Batman (no one has ever seen you in the same room, right?), this was made especially for you.
