Rolex GMT-Master Ref. 1675 Mk.1
Straight Facts
The Rolex GMT-Master is one of the most historic and iconic watches the brand ever produced. Although there is a long lineage of this model, the first pieces were commissioned by Pan American World Airways in the early 50’s for their fleet of pilots who needed access to different time zones. These early pieces were too fragile and delicate for the actual life of a pilot and therefor in 1959 the reference 1675 was introduced. This reference features a larger case as well as crown-guards and an aluminum “Pepsi” bezel insert. This specific example, produced in 1972 features a thick and even case, and a minty MK. 1 dial with wonderful patina. Not to mention that the fat font Pepsi insert that gives just the right amount of vintage charm. All original and in stunning condition, I couldn’t be happier to offer this piece in the Watch Shop!
*Some marks or spots on the dial are reflections or dust on the crystal and are due to high intensity strobe lighting used while photographing. They are not actually on the watch or visible in natural lighting.
