The Rolex GMT‑Master II with its black and blue Cerachrom bezel is affectionately known as the Rolex Batman. Designed for travellers and professionals, it blends everyday robustness with signature style. Browse our selection of second hand Rolex GMT‑Master II Batman models online, reserve for collection, or visit us in store for hands‑on advice. Every piece is carefully inspected and fully authenticated by our team, with expert servicing available for long‑term ownership.
The black/blue bezel gives the Rolex GMT‑Master II Batman its nickname and helps distinguish day (blue) and night (black) hours. Crafted in corrosion‑resistant Oystersteel with a scratch‑resistant Cerachrom insert, it’s built for real‑world wear. A 24‑hour hand and bidirectional bezel let you read two time zones at a glance, and a third by rotating the bezel. On the Oyster bracelet, the Easylink 5 mm comfort extension allows quick on‑wrist adjustment. Water resistance is typically 100 metres, and modern variants offer a long power reserve. Earlier references such as 116710BLNR used calibre 3186, while later 126710BLNR models feature calibre 3285 with an extended reserve. Explore more in our pre‑owned Rolex collection.
A practical yet fashionable choice for global travellers, the Rolex GMT‑Master II Batman is prized by collectors for its distinctive bezel and everyday versatility. While the Batman is associated with the classic Oyster bracelet, the Jubilee‑bracelet variant is often nicknamed the Rolex Batgirl. Early Batman releases from 2013 are increasingly sought after on the secondary market and are sometimes referred to as ‘vintage Rolex Batman’ by enthusiasts. Condition, service history and completeness (box and papers) all influence desirability and value.
Whether you’re buying your first Rolex Batman or adding to a collection, consider:
• Reference and movement: 116710BLNR vs 126710BLNR - design updates and calibre differences may matter to you.
• Bracelet style: Oyster for a sportier look; Jubilee for a dressier feel (often referred to as Batgirl).
• Condition and provenance: original box/papers, documented servicing, and minimal polish help preserve value.
• Daily wear factors: wrist fit (40 mm case), bezel/action condition, and bracelet stretch.
