Nicknamed “Batman” for its black and blue colors, this GMT-Master II was the first Rolex to wear a two-color Cerachrom bezel. For the frequent flyer with a playful side, it turns every layover into a quiet superhero moment.

Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Set against a black dial, bold Maxi hour markers and hands keep the time easy to read at a glance. Carved from 904L Oystersteel, the 40mm Oyster case carries the broad, muscular lugs of the Super Case. Finished with polished center links, the Oyster bracelet closes on an Oysterlock clasp with an Easylink extension of about 5mm.

Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, date, and GMT. The screw-down Triplock crown on the right side of the case winds the self-winding caliber 3186, which holds about 48 hours of power. Pulled fully out, the crown stops the seconds hand and sets the minute hand and the blue GMT hand to home time on the 24-hour bezel. One notch in, it jumps the local hour hand in single hours with the date following along, so land the date on yesterday and carry it past midnight onto today. Screwed back down, the crown helps seal the case for 100 meters of water resistance.

Comes as a full set, boxed with warranty documentation

Retired once its successor took over, this reference remains the original Batman that every later version answers to. For the collector who prefers firsts to sequels, it makes a natural cornerstone for a sports watch collection.
