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. 116713 LN) was introduced. A year later, the Ref. 116710 LN (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.

Until now, the only bezel color available is black. Maybe in the future we'll see again a Pepsi model. According to rumours, Rolex is working on the twocolored bezel, but the combination of the different ceramiccolors seems to be the hurdle.
