About The Rolex GMT-Master Ref. 1675: The Rolex GMT-Master ref. 1675 is one of the defining vintage Rolex sport watch references. Introduced around 1959 and produced until around 1980, the 1675 became known for its rotating 24-hour bezel, additional GMT hand, and connection to international aviation and travel. The model was originally developed for pilots and travelers who needed to track a second time zone. Early 1960s examples such as this circa 1964 watch are especially desirable for their pointed crown guard case profile, gilt chapter ring dial, plastic crystal, aluminum Pepsi bezel insert, and period riveted Oyster bracelet. This example features a faded red-back Pepsi insert with the red tone aged toward orange / amber, giving the watch a distinctive vintage appearance. This GMT-Master offers a strong combination of period details and documentation, including its black gilt chapter ring dial, faded red-back Pepsi insert, pointed crown guard case, visible lug chamfers, original outer box, chronometer paperwork with matched movement serial number, Rolex brochure, and period Rolex 7206 riveted bracelet...
