Rolex GMT Master 1675/3 Root Beer - Papers
two-tone GMT - warm look - punched papers
SoldThe first Rolex GMT Master was introduced in the 1950s and fascinated watch lovers with its GMT function, which was super innovative back then. Thanks to its 24-hour hand and rotating 24-hour bezel, the wearer could read time in two different time zones simultaneously. The GMT was very popular with long-distance pilots, which is why it went down in history as THE pilot's watch. Today it is an absolute cult watch that is still being produced.
The 4 digit vintage GMT reference 1675 was made between ca. 1959 and 1980. In addition to the pure stainless steel version (Ref. 1675/0), there was also a solid gold (Ref. 1675/8) and a two-tone steel-gold version offered here (Ref. 1675/3). The last two were rarer and more exclusive.
This GMT-Master has a brown dial whose colors are reminiscent of the American trend drink "Root Beer" - hence the nickname. The dial is also known as the "Nipple Dial" because of the applied hour markers with yellow gold borders. Overall, the watch has a very harmonious and warm look, not least due to the beautiful caramel-chocolate bezel.
The GMT is accompanied by the original chronometer certificate punched with the watch's serial number. There is also the original hangtag labeled with the appropriate serial number.
