The Rolex GMT-Master II 16710 embodies the ultimate in travel-time functionality wrapped in timeless steel. Its 40mm stainless steel case features the classic bidirectional 24-hour bezel—here in all-black anodised aluminium—paired with a deep black dial, luminous hour markers and hands, and the signature extra GMT-hand for tracking a second time zone. At 3 o’clock the date aperture sits beneath Rolex’s Cyclops lens, while the Oyster bracelet and screw-down crown maintain durability and precision.
Produced between 1989 and 2007, the 16710 stands out for being the last series of GMT-Master II references to feature the slimmer five-digit case design and aluminium bezel insert. With its straightforward, tool-watch DNA and refined everyday utility, the 16710 remains a favourite among collectors seeking vintage charm with modern usability.

The Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 16710 represents a pinnacle in Rolex’s GMT lineage, offering dual-time functionality within a timeless 40 mm Oystersteel case. Produced from 1989 until 2007, this generation bridges vintage character and modern usability—complete with the iconic arrow-tip 24-hour hand and rotating 24-hour bezel for tracking a second time zone. Its black dial gives the reference a versatile, understated appeal that pairs effortlessly with the robust steel bracelet.
Visually, the black dial version of the 16710 emphasizes clarity and purpose. Broad luminous hour markers and Mercedes-style hands ensure legibility in all light conditions, while the date window at 3 o’clock, topped with Rolex’s signature Cyclops lens, maintains the brand’s functional heritage. The all-black bezel variant keeps the aesthetic streamlined and classic.
Under the sapphire crystal lies Rolex’s in-house automatic movement—initially the Caliber 3185 and later updated to 3186—which boasts approximately 50 hours of power reserve and independent hour-hand adjustment for local time changes. With its 100 m water resistance, robust build, and enduring design, the 16710 steel GMT-Master II remains a favorite among collectors who value both travel functionality and timeless sports watch aesthetics.
