Comic-Con International, a gathering for fiction enthusiasts, celebrated its 50th anniversary this past week. Let’s take a look at these Rolex models whose nick names derive from iconic comic book characters.

The Hulk

Green is a color that is no stranger to Rolex brand association. The “Hulk” made its debut in 2010 to mark the 60th anniversary of the Submariner. This model marks the first time Rolex released a dial that was neither black nor blue. With a sunburst metallic dial and cerachrom bezel insert that match in color, this all green timepiece is evocative of its superhero counterpart.

With its bank vault case and cast in 904L proprietary steel blend (as opposed to the industry-standard 316L stainless) paired with an Oyster bracelet with solid links – this indestructible time piece truly is incredible.

Neither Mark Ruffalo, Edward Norton, nor Eric Bana have been spotted sporting this well known Rolex model, it should be noted that Robert Downey J.R. (also known as Tony Stark or Iron Man to some) proudly showcases the “Hulk” in his personal watch collection.

The Batman

With a cerachrom bezel in both black and blue it’s no surprise on why this GMT-Master II is named after a certain brooding Dark Knight. This was the first model from Rolex to feature two colors on a ceramic bezel. As legendary as Bruce Wayne, the Batman is a sought after model especially after being discontinued.

Those on the waitlist may have been delighted to hear that at Baselworld 2019, Rolex debuted the new Batman 126710BLNR (Previous model’s reference 116710BLNR). The newer reference is fitted with the new generation Rolex movement. Calibre 3285 offers up to 70 hours of movement when fully wound, twenty more hours than the previous model.

The release of the new Batman marks the beginning of Rolex transforming the GMT-Master II into a more cohesive collection. As of 2019 all models will have a bi-colored ceramic bezel.
