The Rolex GMT-Master II 16710 “Coke” is the discontinued steel GMT-Master II that
defined the model from 1989 through 2007 — and the last GMT-Master II ever produced
with the classic aluminum bezel insert before the ceramic Cerachrom era arrived 
with the 116710LN in 2007. The Coke nickname references the red-and-black bezel 
configuration that this reference was famously available in (alongside the Pepsi
red-and-blue and the all-black variants), and across nearly two decades of production
the 16710 became the GMT-Master II of choice for pilots, airline crews, and frequent
travelers who needed to track a second time zone in a robust steel case. The 40mm
Oystersteel Oyster case is paired with the bidirectional rotating black-and-red 
aluminum bezel insert that gives the Coke its identity, and the matching Oyster 
bracelet with Fliplock extension. The glossy black dial features applied luminous
hour markers (tritium in earlier production transitioning to Super-LumiNova around
2000), Mercedes hands, the central 24-hour GMT hand for tracking a second time zone,
and the cyclops-magnified date at 3 o’clock. Powered by the in-house Rolex Caliber
3185 in early production and the upgraded Caliber 3186 with blue Parachrom hairspring
in later years, the 16710 beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a 48-hour power
reserve and Superlative Chronometer certification. Sapphire crystal, 100 meters 
water resistance. Pre-owned.
