Produced for nearly two decades, it was the last GMT-Master II to feature an aluminum bezel insert before the brand transitioned to ceramic. This 1997 example hails from the late-1990s chapter of that long production run, featuring a slimmer and more refined case than its \"Fat Lady\" predecessor. The black and red \"Coke\" bezel configuration is one of the most recognizable and sought-after variants, offering a bold and functional aesthetic that defined an entire era of travel watches.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn Exceptionally Sharp Example\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis watch stands out for its physical state.

As noted, the case and dial are all in excellent shape. The \"Coke\" bezel insert shows a gentle touch of sun fading on the red section, ever so slightly shifting towards a subtle pinkish tone, which adds a layer of authentic vintage character. The Oyster bracelet is also in very good condition. For a watch approaching the three-decade mark, this piece presents with confidence and integrity. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Perfect Bridge Between Eras\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe 16710 is the definitive choice for someone who wants the classic proportions and feel of a vintage GMT with the reliability of a more modern watch.
