Notes
The Rolex Ref. 1675 GMT Master was originally designed for Pan Am crews and frequent travellers. It features a rotating bezel of bright red and blue
(red for day time and blue for night time), as well as an arrow-tipped hand to indicate the local time zone. Its production period lasted more than 20 years
(from 1959 to 1980), which in a way proved its popularity across generations. People are obsessed with its innovative technical functions and impressive
designs and have a tireless interest in digging all major or minor changes of versions. The current example comes with gold indexes and lacquer dial, an
original “small triangle” 24-hour hand, and all luminous indexes and hands showing nice neon green under UV lighting.
