Vintage Rolex Love: The Rolex GMT-Master 1675

Originally created in 1954 for Pan Am Airlines, the Rolex GMT-Master has gone though a variety of touch ups throughout its years in production. Spanning one of the longest runs in Rolex manufacturing history, and marking its place as the first Rolex sports model to be featured on an Rolex Oyster Bracelet and Rolex Jubilee Bracelet, the GMT-Master 1675 has gained popularity in the Rolex vintage world.

Purchasing your very own vintage Rolex watch can be a very exciting time in your life, but fun aside its important to know your facts to protect yourself against the less genuine sellers out there.

Here are some helpful hints to look out for…

Identifying markers to watch out for to date your GMT Master 1675:

• Acrylic crystal glass
• Tritium indexes
• Pointed crown guards with a chapter ring
• Rounded crown guards
• New print on the dial bearing, “superlative chronometer officially certified”
• Small triangle on the second time zone hand
• Big triangle on the second time zone hand
• Different dial printing after the extra hour changed
• Guilt or white indexes on the dial
• Longer indexes on the dial
• No quickset date

Although this model was in production for so many years, and its on the easier side of vintage models to find, it has become a very sought after item. Today, many collectors prefer a more faded bezel and index color, so as to help capture the true vintage feeling of an aged Rolex.

Need to spice things up with your Rolex GMT-Master?

Opt out the original Rolex Bracelet for something different, like a rubber watch strap.
