Description
Rolex GMT-Master 1675 - Black Matte Dial - ‘Pepsi’ Bezel
The GMT-Master has been a cornerstone of Rolex’s collection since its debut in 1954. Developed in collaboration with Pan American World Airways, it was created in response to the rapid growth of the aviation industry during the 1950s. As long-distance air travel became increasingly common, pilots and crew needed a reliable tool to track multiple time zones simultaneously. Rolex met this demand with the launch of the now-iconic GMT-Master. Its signature feature—a rotating 24-hour bezel paired with a fourth hand that circles the dial once every 24 hours—enabled users to easily read the time in two time zones at once. This groundbreaking functionality established the GMT-Master as an essential instrument for professional aviators and a pioneering innovation in travel watches.
A major evolution came in 1959 with the introduction of reference 1675, which succeeded the original 6542. This new model brought notable enhancements, including crown guards, a sturdier case, and an updated movement. Remaining in production for over two decades, the 1675 is one of the longest-running and most celebrated references in the GMT-Master lineage.
This example, produced in 1977, features the fourth and final generation of the matte dial, which replaced the earlier ‘gilt’ version. It is paired with the iconic red-and-blue ‘Pepsi’ bezel and the sportier Oyster bracelet.
Well-preserved, the matte dial retains its original beauty, while the luminous material on the hands and hour markers has aged to a warm, creamy hue. Notably, the 'Pepsi' bezel insert features a vivid and practically unaltered red lower half, while the upper blue half displays a gentle fade.
In very good condition, this timepiece presents an excellent opportunity to own one of Rolex’s most historically significant models—available now.
