Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 16710 “Night Flight” – A Vintage Timepiece for Global Travelers and Airline Pilots

“To master time is to master the world.” This phrase perfectly captures the spirit of the Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 16710 — an iconic watch designed to accompany airline pilots and intercontinental travelers with elegance, precision, and functionality. Available pre-owned in excellent condition at Mostra in Aix-en-Provence, complete with original box and papers, this exceptional timepiece is a symbol of Swiss craftsmanship and the refined art of travel.

Introduced in the 1980s, the reference 16710 is a modern evolution of the original GMT-Master, born in the 1950s to meet the needs of Pan Am pilots. Equipped with a black 24-hour rotating bezel and the famous red GMT hand, it allows for the simultaneous display of two time zones — or even three with skill — making it the ideal tool for professionals on the move and seasoned globetrotters. Visually, the GMT-Master II 16710 “Night Flight” stands out with its understated, functional design. Its 40 mm stainless steel case offers perfect wrist presence and comfort, adapting seamlessly from airport lounges to international boardrooms. The black bezel evokes the calm of night flights, while the classic aesthetic has made this model highly sought-after among collectors and vintage watch enthusiasts.

Technically, it is powered by the reliable Rolex Caliber 3185 — an automatic movement with 31 jewels beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour. Fitted with a Parachrom hairspring, it is resistant to shocks and temperature variations. Its independently adjustable hour hand allows quick and effortless time zone changes without stopping the watch — an essential feature for those constantly crossing borders. This Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 16710 is offered as a full set by Mostra. It includes the original Rolex box, original papers, and a Mostra authenticity certificate, providing you with complete peace of mind. Every watch we offer is thoroughly inspected by our team of horological experts to ensure authenticity, functionality, and excellent condition.
