The Watch
It all starts with a request from the former airline Pan-Am for a proper pilot watch that was capable of displaying an extra timezone. A watch that would be useful for pilots on transatlantic flights, adding an extra timezone would make this timepiece perfect. Pan-Am inquired at Rolex, and they came up with the GMT-Master. A watch with chronometer specifications aswell as displaying an additional timezone.
The Rolex GMT Master 1675 was launched in 1959. The watch was made in stainless steel and topped with the characteristic Pepsi bezel, the ref. 1675 is one of the most sought-after vintage Rolex tool watches today. Produced from 1959 until 1980, the GMT-Master 1675 was one of the longest running references in Rolex’s history.
