As the successor to the first GMT-Master reference 6542, reference 1675 was launched in 1960 using a metallic bezel insert that replaced the fragile Bakelite bezels used in the 6542 models. The present example from 1963 features a glossy dial with silvered text and beautiful caramel-colored hour markers. The bezel has faded to an even, light shade of blue and red, and the case has great definition in the lugs. The early case features attractive pointed crown guards known as “Cornino”.Fitted with its original, expandable Oyster riveted bracelet and accompanied by its original box, it is a highly wearable and practical vintage sports Rolex for a collector.
