A side-by-side comparison video between the Rolex GMT-Master II 116710BLNR VS 126710BLNR. The 116710BLNR is also nicknamed "Rolex Batman" and the most recent reference 126710BLNR has, by some collectors started to be called "Rolex Batgirl".

In Baselworld 2013, Rolex unveiled a new steel Rolex GMT-Master II with a blue and black ceramic bezel – the Ref. 116710BLNR (BLNR for bleu/noir). It was easily one of the stars at last year’s show.

The new Rolex GMT-Master II 126710BLNR was released at Baselworld 2019 and is similar to the previous reference, but features a few visual and technical differences. The most notable visual difference is the fact that it now comes on a Jubilee bracelet rather than an Oyster bracelet, making it less sporty and more elegant. The watch still maintains the most eye-catching detail which is the blue and black ceramic bezel, which people have come to love about this model.

The watch has a steel case, a black dial with a blue GMT hand and a bi-color ceramic bezel, mixing black for the nighttime hours and blue for the daytime hours. On the new reference, the case has been slightly redesigned, mainly due to the integration of the new end-links. The redesign only affects the lugs, which appear a bit shorter and more curved. The dimensions of the 126710BLNR are exactly the same as the now-discontinued 116710BLNR, with a 40mm case and a height of 12.5mm – typical proportions for a Rolex sports watch.
The bracelet has been updated on this new GMT-Master II Batman, which is now equipped with the 5-link Jubilee bracelet. Supple, extremely well-executed, comfortable on the wrist, the bracelet that is usually reserved for dress watches has been slightly modified with the launch of 126710BLRO and now features a solid folding buckle with Oysterlock and 5mm Easylink extension (like most sports models). This bracelet gives the new Batman some more elegance and a different appeal on the wrist.

As for the dial, no updates compared to the previous version, expect the addition of a small crown logo between “Swiss” and “Made”, indicating the presence of a new movement. The 126710BLNR follows in the steps of last year’s model and is fitted with calibre 3285. Part of Rolex’s new generation of movements, it features a more efficient escapement and gear train, a longer power reserve (70 hours vs. 48 hours previously) and a new variable-inertia balance wheel. The movement is certified Superlative Chronometer and comes with a 5-year warranty.
