Description

The Vintage Pepsi - This incredible GMT Master 1675 is full or character. The case is fat and strong featuring beautiful bevels on the lugs even after more than 50 years. The flawless dial has taken on a beautiful patina on the lumes, I would say a strong Vanilla color. The original fat font insert has taken on a degrading light blue color with a copper colored lower part adding a lot to the character of this GMT. To round it up and make it even more attractive, this watch comes with its box and papers as a nice collector's set.

THE GMT-MASTER 1955

The GMT-Master was developed to meet the specific needs of airline pilots. It became the official watch of several airlines, among them the famous Pan American World Airways, better known as Pan Am. Its most distinguishing visual feature was the two-tone bezel which marked daytime from nighttime hours.

THE FIRST TRANSCONTINENTAL FLIGHTS

As intercontinental travel developed in the 1950s, airliners began to fly swiftly across several successive time zones. For the first time it became important to know the time in various places in the world, simultaneously. It was the dawn of the jet age, and Rolex responded with a watch to match the spirit of the times.
