Description
GMT Master II 116710LN: A New Generation of Rolex Travel Watches.
The case is Rolex’s more substantial, more impressive Super Case. This case is pretty squared off and it doesn’t have the Oyster Case’s curvature. The sides of the case are quite perpendicular, which is something those who are used to Rolex cases with more ergonomics will have to get accustomed to.
The watch wears super comfortably. It has a 40mm diameter, with a reasonable thickness of 12.1mm considering it has a rotating bezel. The lug to lug measurement is a clean 48.5mm, increasing to 51mm if you include the solid end-links in the measurement.
The bezel of the GMT-Master II is where Rolex’s superior quality really comes into play. It’s made from Cerachrom, a patented hard, corrosion-resistant ceramic manufactured by Rolex.
Cerachrom was first introduced in 2005 with the GMT Master II models, one of which was the 116710LN.
Rolex has come a long way from their historical practices. The bracelet on the GMT Master II 116710 doesn’t use hollow end links or center links. There’s no longer a stamped clasp. The bracelet is more luxurious and elegant than ever. So much so that it would essentially be blasphemy to even consider putting the case on a strap. Although, if you wish to, the spacing of the lugs is 20mm.
It has contrasting center polished links with satin outer links and polished flanks. It’s a charming finish, which represents the superior quality of the GMT, as part of Rolex’s impressive arsenal.
