The Rolex GMT-Master II 116710BLNR quickly earned itself the nickname "Batman" due to its black and blue Cerachrom bezel. Meanwhile, the combination of black and blue represents new territory for Rolex itself. The division is quite logical if you understand it as a differentiation between day and night hours, as with Coke and Pepsi. However, if you are unsure whether the blue and black bezel is too striking and whether you should buy a Rolex Batman 116710BLNR, we advise you to go for the basic variant, the 116710LN.
Let's go into a little more detail and illustrate how Rolex mastered the sharp, flawless transitions of the bezel. The process is patented by Rolex, so the broad steps are known, but the details will probably forever remain a closely guarded secret. What we do know is this: The bezel is first given the blue colour, while the black is added later. In the process, the part of the bezel that remains blue is covered, while the uncovered half is chemically treated. In a PVD process, the 24-hour graduation engraved in the bezel is then covered with a fine layer of platinum, giving it shine and depth. The transition between the two halves is precise and perfectly balanced. One of the most beautiful experiences you can have with the Rolex Batman is to see how it adapts to different lighting conditions. In direct sunlight, the blue of the 116710BLNR Batman shines bright and bold, while in partial shade it fades into a soft violet. In scarce lighting, the entire bezel appears almost black.
Timepiece of perfection
The new movement makes the Batman slightly larger than the old GMT-Master models with the calibre 3185. The case is rather average at 40 mm, but gains presence and compactness with the Super Case. The Rolex 116710BLNR is best worn as an everyday watch, but its classic look also makes it appropriate in a business casual setting. Offered as standard on the Oyster bracelet with Easy Link, Rolex introduced a new variant of the BLNR at Baselworld 2019 equipped with Jubilé bracelet - the GMT-Master II 126710BLNR.
