The GMT-Master has a long-standing history in watches made for aviation. As a brand known for its innovative and pioneering spirit, Rolex introduced the GMT-Master in 1955, designed to fit the needs of air pilots, ship captains, business travelers, and members of the armed forces. Fitted with a bi-directional rotating bezel with 24-hour markings, the GMT-Master could simultaneously tell the time in two places, making it a perfect tool as the world entered the age of intercontinental travel. In 1959, Rolex released an updated version of the GMT-Master with a more robust design – the ref. 1675 with a metallic bezel insert and Twinlock crown guards. Up until 1966, the ref. 1675 was produced with a glossy black dial. The present example is fitted with the highly desirable glossy dial variant and preserved in excellent condition and accompanied with its original guarantee, purchase invoice and accessories. The “Pepsi” bezel has developed an attractive patina due to aging and maintains all its vintage charm, robustness, and reliability. The GMT-Master is truly a timepiece that stands the test of time and a perfect companion for any occasion.
