Rolex GMT-Master II 116710LN — 2016

Reference 116710LN is the all-black GMT-Master II: the same 40 mm steel case and caliber as the two-tone Batman, with a single-colour black Cerachrom bezel. It replaced the aluminium-bezel 16710 in 2007 and ran until 2019, and it is the quieter of the modern GMT-Master IIs — the one that reads as a watch rather than an announcement.

Dealers often list this reference by its "green arrow" configuration, which is the descriptor carried over from the Chrono24 listing for this example.

The Caliber 3186

Caliber 3186 with a Parachrom hairspring, 31 jewels, and an independently adjustable 24-hour hand — the local hour jumps forward or back without stopping the movement, which is what makes a GMT-Master practical for travel rather than merely capable of it. Power reserve is approximately 48 hours.

What to Check

On a black Cerachrom bezel, check the platinum-filled numerals for even fill and the insert edge for chips. The 116710LN is easy to confuse with the earlier aluminium 16710 in photographs — ceramic has a distinct depth and does not fade, so a bezel showing any sun-fading is not this reference. Confirm the 24-hour hand jumps cleanly through a full rotation.
