The main difference between the ones produced and in the 60s and those in the 70s is that the radial dials are no longer gilt, but with a matt base. CIRCA 1960.Īfter the very short production period in the early 60s of this dial, the radial configuration was taken up by Rolex in the second half of the 70s. The following pictures of some fabulous 1675 Gmt Masters we traded in the past show some of the dials appeared during the production of this reference. The dial, even to non-expert eyes, is the one that undergoes the most obvious changes : from the gilt chapter ring dials with OCC writing and then COSC to the ones with open minute track and finally to white graphics MATT dials. In this long period of time it has been continually subject to several slight restyling to some of its components (dial, movement, bracelet ecc) which testify Rolex’s continuous will to innovate its products both on an aesthetic and technical level in order to meet the latest customers needs and to technologically keep up with competitors. Reference 1675 remained in production for almost 20 years, until around 1979. The main differences between 65 are the aluminium bezel, the more performing and precise caliber and the renewed case design. Reference 1675 is the worthy successor of the legendary 6542, the previous GMT model in Rolex production.
