Notes

The present watch is an exceedingly rare hybrid version of the celebrated “GMT-Master” reference 1675, combining elements of the late 1950s Ref. 6542 series, most notably the missing crown guards, the batonhands (named concord and thought to be produced initially for the US market) and the small tip on the 24-hour hand, and the newly introduced reference 1675 with the matt brown dial (so-called “bicchierini” by Italian collectors) and the metal insert to the bezel.
