The Rolex GMT-Master reference 1675 is one of the longest-running and most historically
significant references in the entire Rolex catalog. Produced from 1959 through 1980—
a remarkable 21-year run — the 1675 was the GMT-Master that introduced the crown
guards that have defined Rolex sports watches ever since, and the model worn by 
pilots, jet-setters, and travelers throughout the golden age of intercontinental
aviation. This 1967 example carries the matte black dial that succeeded the earlier
gilt/glossy dials during the mid-1960s transition period — a moment in Rolex history
that produced some of the most desirable vintage examples in collecting today. The
40mm stainless steel Oyster case is paired with the bidirectional rotating aluminum
bezel insert (in Pepsi red-and-blue or all-black depending on configuration) and
the original Oyster bracelet. The matte black dial features white-printed indices
and applied luminous tritium hour markers (now aged to warm patina), white Mercedes
hands, and the namesake central 24-hour GMT hand for tracking a second time zone.
Powered by the Rolex Caliber 1575 self-winding chronometer movement, beating at 
19,800 vibrations per hour, the 1675 was the first GMT-Master to add a quickset 
date function and the hacking-seconds feature was added to the 1575 starting in 
1971. Acrylic crystal, screw-down crown, water resistance approximately 50 meters.
Pre-owned.
