This morning I went through and read the accompanying "Reference Points" article to this video....Hodinkee did a remarkable job with this, it's definetely worth a read when you have some time.

Unfortunately, from the article text:

"In 2019, Rolex released its follow-up to the original stainless steel Batman. Like the 126710BLRO Pepsi of the year before, the new Batman features the upgraded cal. 3285 automatic movement with Chronergy escapement and 70 hours of power reserve. The Batman, having caught on in 2013, was here to stay as a new color combo specific to the GMT-Master II. In being paired with a Jubilee bracelet, the new Batman, which was now also nicknamed the "Batgirl," signaled that there might be a system of rules in place regarding the pairing of bracelets with GMT-Master II watches."
