The 5-digit ceramic era splits cleanly by dial-and-bezel identity rather than by mechanical variation.

* Black bezel, steel: [[Reference:116710LN|116710LN]]. One dial configuration — glossy black with a green "GMT-Master II" signature line and a green 24-hour hand. Two documented commission runs sit outside standard production: a Sultanate of Oman piece (Sotheby's, circa 2010) with the Khanjar dagger engraved on the caseback and a Khimji Ramdas retailer stamp on the papers, and a 123-piece batch made for personnel associated with the Royal Navy's Westland Sea King helicopter, numbered against the Sea King engraving and the motto "Fear God Honour the King" and sold only to Sea King-associated buyers rather than through normal retail.

* Blue-black bezel, steel: [[Reference:116710BLNR|116710BLNR]]. One dial configuration — the 116710LN dial minus the green signature line, with a blue 24-hour hand. The Batman is a bezel variant of the 116710LN rather than a separate case platform.

* Red-blue bezel, white gold: [[Reference:116719BLRO|116719BLRO]]. Two dial configurations by production window — black lacquer -0001 (2014-2018), matte blue -0002 (2018-2019). Same case, same bezel, same movement across both.

* Black bezel, yellow gold Rolesor: [[Reference:116713LN|116713LN]]. Single gloss-black dial configuration. Narrowest branch in the family — no sub-variants.

* Black bezel, solid yellow gold: [[Reference:116718LN|116718LN]]. Two parallel dial configurations across the run — standard black and green anniversary. Sotheby's tracks the green as the collector variant; the black is the steadier seller.

The Rootbeer colour scheme sat the ceramic era out. The brown-and-gold dial-and-bezel pairing that ran through the 1970s 1675/3, [[Reference:16753|16753]], and [[Reference:16758|16758]] did not survive into Cerachrom. Rolex did not bring Rootbeer back to the GMT-Master II until the 6-digit [[Reference:126711CHNR|126711CHNR]] and [[Reference:126715CHNR|126715CHNR]] in 2018, by which point the gold side had shifted from yellow to Everose.
