The Global Appeal of the Rolex GMT-Master II Ref 16710

Rolex GMT-Master II 16710

Rolex began the original GMT-Master line in 1954, giving pilots and aviation professionals a practical timepiece. Its ability to display two time zones turned the watch into a critical flight-planning tool and gave pilots the ability to stay on schedule.

By 1982, Rolex moved on to the next iteration of the iconic watch, the Rolex GMT-Master II. Rolex released the Ref 16710 in 1989, replacing the first GMT-Master II watch. The second reference for the new line became a staple in Rolex's collection until it ceased production in 2007.

The Birth of the Ref 16710

Many consider this Rolex stainless-steel watch the model that cemented the GMT-Master II design language. The Swiss watchmaker produced it much longer than its predecessor, offering subtle design changes and refinements to make it one of the most well-known in the line.

Like the previous model, this timepiece features a 40-millimeter stainless-steel case. While not targeted to underwater divers like the Submariner, this GMT-Master II is sporting the standard Oyster case. It remains water-resistant to depths of 100 meters.

One core change of the Ref 16710 is the watch profile. Rolex designed this model to be slightly slimmer. The differences are subtle, but the Ref 16710 is more streamlined and has flatter lugs.

A More Capable Movement

The Rolex GMT-Master II line brought significant changes over the older pilot-focused watches. Although the original GMT-Master collection could display two time zones, the GMT-Master II could display three.

The Ref 16710 uses Rolex's Caliber 3185 movement. Key features of this movement include:

  • 31 jewels
  • 28,800 bph frequency
  • 50 hours of power reserve
  • Independently adjustable GMT hand
  • Instant date change
  • Quick date correction
  • Glucydur balance with Kif Elastor anti-shock system

Design

This Rolex stainless-steel watch is available in a few different colors. However, each one contains the same dial. The Ref 16710 has a black background with the signature hour-marker shapes. Depending on the year of production, the lumes can be Tritium, Luminova, or Superluminova. You'll also find Rolex's Mercedes-style hour hand, a dedicated GMT hand in red, and a date window at the 3:00 position.

Covering the face is sapphire crystal glass. Rolex also uses the magnifying Cyclops lens over the date window.

Where the Ref 16710 gets its distinct style is on the bezels. This timepiece uses an aluminum bidirectional bezel with a 24-hour scale. Moving the bezel lets you use the independent GMT hand to see the third time zone display.

The bezels on the Rolex GMT-Master II watches are available with a two-tone colorway to reference day and night hours. You can get the Ref 16710 in three styles:

  • Black and red "Coke" bezel
  • Blue and red "Pepsi" bezel
  • All-black bezel

These colors typically came with the standard three-link Oyster bracelet. However, some models also had the Oyster bracelet with the Oysterlock or the Rolex stainless-steel Jubilee bracelet.

    Excellent timepiece, premium quality and name. It’s a game changer. I deserve the best, don’t you?

    It takes over 1 year to this watch. That tells you when the watch is finished that it is perfect. I proudly wear my GMT.
