Case Material: Oystersteel
Dial: Black with Blue GMT Hand

Power Reserve: Approximately 48 Hours

Why the 116710BLNR "Original Batman" is Special
The 116710BLNR is a landmark in Rolex’s history. Before its release in 2013, many believed a two-tone ceramic bezel was technically impossible. Rolex proved the skeptics wrong by creating a patented process to chemically alter half the bezel from blue to black before it was fired.
This 2014 model represents the "OG" Batman configuration: the Oystersteel case paired exclusively with the Oyster bracelet. While the newer 126xxx generation introduced the Jubilee, many purists still prefer the Oyster for its sportier, more tool-watch aesthetic. Powered by the legendary Calibre 3186—the same movement found in late-model 16710s—this watch is a tank. Because it has been recently polished to an excellent standard, it offers the visual experience of a much newer watch while retaining the charm of a decade-old modern classic.
