about the watch
Designed to display the time in two time zones simultaneously during intercontinental flights, the Rolex GMT Master 16710 is a legendary pilot's watch known beyond watch enthusiasts for its timeless design and historical significance. With its black insert, stainless steel case and bracelet, and black dial, this timepiece embodies all the iconic features of a GMT.
This reference 16710 also features technical improvements such as a luminova dial and hands, being one of the first batch to sport the "Swiss Made" marking at 6 o'clock. As we like to say, neo-vintage watches are often a good mix, offering the strength and precision of a modern watch while retaining the aesthetics and wearability of the vintages.
This particular piece is entirely original and in excellent condition. It was sold circa 2000 in Hong Kong. It's a perfect addition and a fantastic start to any collection of Rolex sports models. The black insert is not the most common, although but is more subtle and discreet than the Pepsi or Coke inserts, adding a little originality to this beautiful piece. But for those who enjoy a change, this piece is perfect, being delivered with a service Pepsi insert which can be easily swapped, making it a different watch. The watch is delivered with its original set, conferring great collector's value on this splendid GMT.
The case has a lot of material and sharp edges. The buckle and bracelet are in excellent condition too. The bracelet is the original one, reference 78790, with solid endlinks. It has no stretch.
The watch comes with its original box, guarantee papers and some accessories.
The movement is the original caliber 3185, which runs perfectly well. The watch is still waterproof, although we do not recommend swimming with the watch.
