The GMT Master is Rolex’s signature pilot’s watch, complete with dual-time capabilities. It came to market in 1955, with ref. 1675 following shortly after in 1959. It’s one of the most sought-after vintage Rolex watches on the secondary market because it’s instantly recognizable with its 24-hour bezel and dedicated GMT hand. The Rolex 1675 was also notably the first GMT Master to use crown guards. Rolex initially used glossy dials in the 1675 until around 1966 and switched to matte dials. This circa 1978 example is in overall lovely condition. This watch has what collectors refer to as a Mark 5 dial and the defining characteristic of this is the tall coronet and the placement of the “M” in “Master” over the “C” in chronometer, it divides the C and H. We love the combination of the marshmallow lume and the uniquely faded bezel. If you are in the market for a GMT with character this one is worth considering! Shop Rolex GMT Master Collection
