Item Details
Description
Launched in 1954, the GMT-Master was and still is a watch that captures the true Rolex spirit. The GMT Master was originally designed in collaboration with PanAm Airlines and constructed with pilots in mind; allowing one to quickly tell two different time zones simultaneously.
This beautiful ref 1675 from the early 70’s has a brown and gold color scheme, hence the nickname "Root Beer" or sometimes "Eye of the Tiger". It’s gorgeous coloring has caused this watch to become quite the collectors piece and the pristine acrylic crystal really allows you to enjoy it in all its splendor.
The “root beer†bi-tone bezel version on this watch is particularly striking and ever so slightly faded. Not to mention that it’s not as common as the single color bezel, both of which were an option when purchasing new back in the day.
Typical of the ref 1675, this watch has a matte brown dial and distinctively shaped raised tritium & gold "nipple" hour markers which are responsible for the nickname given to this dial version.
Powered by Rolex’s automatic 1570 movement, the 24-hour hand is not independently adjustable nor does the date have a quickset function.
This two-tone model is indeed very reminiscent of the 1970s, but in a good way – with visually striking colors seldom used in Rolex tool watches.
The watch comes with original box and Rolex warranty papers on top of it’s original two-tone jubilee bracelet. Note that the bracelet has significant stretch and should be reconditioned.
