Rubber B produces custom rubber watch bands for timepieces from a variety of leading global watchmakers, including Rolex, Tudor, and Panerai, as well as several others. Our complete product catalog features straps in a plethora of different colors, textures, and styles, and each one of our watch bands is made solely from 100% vulcanized rubber.
The superhero genre of movies has radically changed viewing habits over the last decade and a half. This can even be seen in the nicknames of Rolex watches, such as “Batman” and the “Hulk.” Therefore, we thought it would be an excellent idea to run a Batman vs. Hulk feature.
Though Batman vs. Hulk will never happen in a comic book, as they are owned by different publishers, Rubber B can certainly compare the watches to one another, as we have in prior entries of this series. Both timepieces will be evaluated on the merits of both their technical specifications and their design style.
It is important to note that, for the purposes of this comparison, the most current iteration of each watch that is available are the versions that we will be using for this piece.
What Are The Technical Specifications of the Batman Watch?
The “Batman” watch is actually a Rolex-GMT Master II, which measures 40 mm. It is powered by the 3285 caliber, which is perpetual, mechanical, and self-winding. While those features tend to be standard fare for a Rolex watch, the additional GMT complication that is available here is not.
This timepiece has a power reserve of up to 70 hours, which is on the longer end of luxury watches currently available on the market. It also has a water resistance of 330 feet, which is appropriate for a watch that is not considered a dive watch.

How Does the Batman Watch Fare Aesthetically?
The Batman watch received its affectionate nickname due to its coloring, which is comprised of a solid black dial and a black and blue rotating bezel. These colors have long been associated with the Caped Crusader, so it stands to reason that people would immediately make this association.
The watch has cool, polished professionalism to it, not unlike its namesake character. It is versatile enough to be worn in casual situations as well as professional ones without being out of place.
What Are The Technical Specifications of the Hulk Watch?
The “Hulk” watch, which is actually a Rolex submariner piece, remains one of the most sought-after Rolex watches available on the market today. Additionally, the watch was discontinued several years ago, which has only served to make it more popular among avid collectors.
The Hulk measures in at 40 mm, which is in keeping with the other watch in this comparison. It runs off of the 3135 caliber, which is perpetual, mechanical, and self-winding. It has a power reserve of 50 hours, which is a good deal less than Batman. It is worth noting, however, that this watch is older than the newest Batman model by several years and has not since been updated.

One place that it does exceed the Batman is when their respective water resistance levels are compared. This watch is water-resistant for up to 1,000 feet, which is to be expected for a Rolex-made dive watch.
How Does the Hulk Watch Rate in Terms of Its Design Style?
The Hulk’s green dial and green rotatable bezel have basically become legendary within the horological community. This watch received the nickname almost immediately, and it is one of the few that Rolex has attempted to embrace at any point in time. Its eye-popping color pattern means that this watch is probably best worn for casual situations.
What Are Our Final Thoughts on Batman vs Hulk?
These two watches are hard to compare, mainly because one was discontinued several years ago (and costs almost $20,000 more to purchase as a result.) Ultimately, if you’re looking for technical excellence and a restrained style, the Batman is the best fit. If you’re looking to make a statement, the Hulk will certainly do just that.
