The Rolex GMT-Master II “Bruce Wayne” is one of the newest additions to the collection of modern Rolex icons. The nickname refers to the watch’s distinctive grey-and-black Cerachrom bezel, a colour combination that has led collectors to associate it with Batman’s alter ego, Bruce Wayne. The watch is officially the Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 126710GRNR, introduced in 2024 and offered with the Oyster or Jubilee bracelet. Its muted grey-and-black bezel gives the watch a more understated appearance than the famous blue-and-black “Batman” or red-and-blue “Pepsi”, while retaining the instantly recognisable GMT-Master II design. The 40mm Oystersteel case, black dial and green GMT hand complete a modern and highly versatile Rolex configuration.

The Bruce Wayne is powered by Rolex’s calibre 3285, a self-winding mechanical movement with a GMT function that allows the wearer to read two time zones simultaneously. Like other contemporary GMT-Master II models, it features Rolex’s patented Chronergy escapement and offers approximately 70 hours of power reserve. The combination of practical functionality, modern technology and distinctive aesthetics has quickly established the 126710GRNR as one of the most desirable contemporary GMT-Master II references. While its history is still relatively short compared with legendary references such as the 1675 Pepsi or 16710 Coke, its connection to the Batman family of Rolex nicknames and its unmistakable grey-and-black bezel have given the Bruce Wayne strong collector appeal. For Crown Exchange, the 126710GRNR Bruce Wayne deserves recognition as one of the modern Rolex Icons.
