ABOUT THIS WATCH
The first Rolex with a second time zone was launched in 1954 under the reference Rolex GMT-Master 6542. This watch was developed in collaboration with the American airline Pan Am to meet the needs of pilots who crossed several time zones in a single trip.
The model reference 1675, introduced in 1959, marked the beginning of a long reign, as it was produced until 1980. During the course of its production, this model was fitted with various types of dial, which were classified according to different 'Mark' grades. Our model is equipped with a Mark 5B dial, distinguished by a narrower, taller Rolex logo than previous versions, and by a singular typography.
The caliber 1575 has a balance speed of 19,800 vph, a power reserve of 48 hours and is not equipped with a quick date-setting function, an improvement that will arrive with the next generation of the caliber 3075. The use of caliber 1575 is recognizable by the order of the hands on the dial, with the GMT hand placed below the hour hand.
