Aside from their excellent craftsmanship and iconic designs, Rolex watches have become world-famous for their nickname-based taxonomy. While other brands do have their own nicknamed models as well, the Crown\u2019s watches \u2013 and avid collectors \u2013 have taken it to the mainstream. Even non-collectors would be familiar with a Pepsi or a Batman.<\/p>\n

Of course, only a few of these monikers are part of official Rolex literature. They\u2019re simply the work of very passionate watch aficionados. If you\u2019re looking to join this community, or consider yourself part of it, here are 40 Rolex nicknames you need to know.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Batman<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The Rolex GMT-Master<\/a> II ref 116710 BLNR. The \u201cBatman\u201d was the first watch to come with a single, solid ceramic bezel in a two-color finish \u2013 a feat once thought of as impossible. Released in 2013, the watch got its Dark Knight-inspired nickname because of its blue and black colorway. This particular model comes with an Oyster bracelet. In 2018, Rolex updated the blue-black GMT-Master II with a new movement and a Jubilee bracelet, and this model was christened the “Batgirl” by watch collectors.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Introduced in 1933, and produced until twenty years after, the\u00a0“Bubbleback” is nicknamed for its\u00a0protruding case that resembles a bubble.

Paul Newman<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The Paul Newman is characterized by its exotic dial with blocky indices in the sub-registers, eccentric Arabic numerals, and vibrant flashes of color. The watch got the nickname because the legendary actor wore at least two Daytonas with these dials.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

The “Smurf” refers to the ref 116619LB Rolex Submariner released in 2009. It was the first ever Rolex Submariner to be made in 18k white gold, and it features a lacquered blue dial and matching bezel.\u00a0The Smurf gained its nickname because its bright white gold finish and the hue\u00a0of its dial and bezel insert are reminiscent of the cartoon character. In 2020, the Smurf was discontinued to make way for the new 18k white gold Submariner (ref 126619LB) which fans have dubbed the “Cookie Monster” because of its blue bezel and black dial that remind one of the Sesame Street mascot.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
