This new-generation of GMT brought about a whole host of changes to Rolex\u2019s iconic pilot\u2019s watch collection. Some of these changes included Rolex\u2019s first Cerachrom ceramic bezel, Rolex\u2019s first GMT \u201cmaxi dial\u201d with larger hour markers and broader Mercedes-style hands, and Rolex\u2019s first \u201csuper case.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/GMT_116713_5D3_7810-2-Edit-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Super Case\" class=\"wp-image-35141\" title=\"Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 116713LN\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/GMT_116713_5D3_7810-2-Edit-copy.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/GMT_116713_5D3_7810-2-Edit-copy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/GMT_116713_5D3_7810-2-Edit-copy-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/GMT_116713_5D3_7810-2-Edit-copy-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/GMT_116713_5D3_7810-2-Edit-copy-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the case size of the then-new GMT-Master II ref. 116718 measured 40mm like its predecessors, the case silhouette was much broader thanks to fatter lugs, a wider bezel, and a thicker overall profile. Therefore, this type of case is referred to as the Rolex \u201csuper case\u201d to differentiate it from older Oyster Professional cases that have the same diameter measurement but a less bulky build. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soon after the launch of the yellow gold version of the new GMT-Master II, Rolex introduced other material options such as the two-tone GMT-Master II ref. 116713, the white gold GMT-Master II ref. 116719, and the stainless steel GMT-Master II ref. 116710. Regardless of the different materials used in their construction, all of these models sport the Rolex super case. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1349\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Sub_16610_5D3_3448-Edit-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Super Case\" class=\"wp-image-35142\" title=\"Rolex Submariner ref. 116610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Sub_16610_5D3_3448-Edit-copy.jpg 1349w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Sub_16610_5D3_3448-Edit-copy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Sub_16610_5D3_3448-Edit-copy-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Sub_16610_5D3_3448-Edit-copy-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Sub_16610_5D3_3448-Edit-copy-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1349px) 100vw, 1349px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Rolex Rolled Out the Super Case To The Submariner in 2008<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2008, Rolex presented the newest generation of their Submariner dive watch. There were two models initially released, both gold: the white gold Submariner ref. 116619 and the yellow gold Submariner ref. 116618.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet again, these two watches retained the official 40mm case size of older Submariner references. However, just like the new GMT-Master II models, the new Submariner watches featured beefier super cases &#8211; along with Cerachrom ceramic bezels and maxi dials. The following year, the two-tone Submariner ref. 116613 joined the catalog, followed by the stainless steel Submariner ref. 116610 a year later.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/GMT_116710_5D3_0073-3-Edit-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Super Case\" class=\"wp-image-35143\" title=\"Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 116710BLNR\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/GMT_116710_5D3_0073-3-Edit-copy.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/GMT_116710_5D3_0073-3-Edit-copy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/GMT_116710_5D3_0073-3-Edit-copy-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/GMT_116710_5D3_0073-3-Edit-copy-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/GMT_116710_5D3_0073-3-Edit-copy-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Rolex Super Case vs. Rolex Classic Case<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rolex\u2019s approach to the super case design was a way for the company to answer the trend for larger men\u2019s watches without having to increase the official measurements over that 40mm size the brand favors so much. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you hold a GMT-Master II (or Submariner) with a classic case next to a GMT-Master II (or Submariner) with a super case, the differences are immediately evident.
