The completely redesigned GMT Master II
was
presented in 2005 (only yellow gold: Ref.
16718 LN) and launched as
anniversary model (all green dial,
but later the black dial became an
option). At the Basel fair 2006 the
steel/yellow gold version (Ref. 116713LN) was introduced. A year later,
the Ref.
116710LN (steel only) was
shown at the same place.
Compared to it's predecessor (Ref.
16710), the
new watch features:
- Triplock crown as compared to the
twinlock
crown of the old GMTs.
- Anti-reflective cyclope lense.
- Green 24-hour hand.
- Maxi dial.
- Ceramic bezel (24-clicks compared to
120
clicks). Numbers are made out of gold
(gold, steel/gold versions) and
platiunum (steelversion).
- New bracelet: Polished center links, a
more
solid clasp (similar to the Daytona).
- New movement: 3186, no new features
but some
improvements:
- Hour hand is much smoother and
more precise
compared to the 3185.
- New hairspring (Parachrom Bleu),
which is
less sensitive to temperature
variations and less sensitive to
magnetic
fields. Made out of Niob and
Hafnium.
- Larger case.
- ROLEX engraving on the inner bezel
ring.
