Rolex GMT-Master II (Batman)

The story

Introduced in 2019, the Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 126710BLNR continued the blue-and-black ceramic bezel design of its predecessor with a newer movement generation. Its automatic calibre 3285 offers approximately 70 hours of power reserve and an independently adjustable local-hour hand, allowing the wearer to change time zones without interrupting the minutes or seconds. The bidirectional Cerachrom bezel, graduated over 24 hours, works with the arrow-tipped GMT hand to keep a reference time close at hand. This 2022 example pairs a black dial with a 40 mm steel case and the three-link Oyster bracelet, an option Rolex added to this reference in 2021. The bracelet gives the watch a purposeful visual balance, while the blue half of the bezel brings a measured contrast to the dark dial. Presented in excellent condition, it is a travel watch whose practical appeal extends well beyond the departure lounge: a glance at the wrist can connect the hour here with the hour at home. Offered as a Full Set with box and papers, it suits a collector seeking this Oyster configuration or a wearer looking for an everyday companion, ready to mark familiar routines and journeys still to come. Available to view by appointment.
