RolexGMT Master

Developed in 1955 as a navigational and dual time-zone aid for globe-trotting pilots, the Rolex GMT-Master is an icon of the technical watch world. This Ref. 1675 from 1966 in stainless-steel presents an opportunity to own an increasingly rare Rolex with US Army provenance.

This example of a Rolex GMT-Master reference 1675 features a gilt dial with 24-hour hand, date window and a rotatable 24-hour scale Pepsi bezel. Secured to the wrist with the original steel Rolex Jubilee bracelet.

Its 40mm diameter, 13mm thickness and 20mm lug width make for a robust, handsome, vintage silhouette when worn. Enhanced by its eye-catching tritium lume plots that still glow faintly in low light conditions.

Powered by its original COSC certified automatic calibre 1565 movement, this GMT-Master is not only a collectors opportunity, it remains a capable and accurate timepiece for frequent flyers or world travellers.

Originally purchased in 1966 via a US Military ‘base exchange’ in the Azores, this military Rolex GMT-Master is in worn, vintage condition. It comes with its original box and papers to further enhance its significant charm.
