Description: Vintage Rolex GMT-Master 1675 Pepsi
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.
It was very common for Rolex to change and update watches when they come in for routine service and that is exactly what happened to this watch. These all serviced up examples offer a great value and are ideal for daily wearers. This watch has “T Swiss < 25” at the bottom which typically signifies tritium lume, but these dials actually have luminova style luminescent material so they will still glow. These “all serviced up” watches offer the perfect blend of modern and vintage all wrapped into one.
