GMT MASTER에 대하여. GMT master

The 16750 followed the 1675, introducing the quickset feature. With this change, the order of the hands got changed:

• • 1675: GMT/Hour/Minute/Second
• 16750: Hour/GMT/Minute/Second

Two different variants of the dial:

• Matt, without white gold indexes - rare.
• Glossy, with white gold indexes (identical to the newer GMTs). Rolex switched the dial during production (approx. serial 9XXXXXX / 1986). This dial was first introduced without 'Date'-imprint, later versions show this imprint. During service, many matt dials got replaced by glossy ones.

• Ref. 16753 steel/yellow gold (Oysterbracelet 78363, Jubilébracelet 62523)
• Ref. 16758 yellow gold (Leather or Oysterbracelet 7206/8, Jubilébracelet 6311/8); sapphire crystal

The Ref. 16760 is the first GMT Master II.

It is nicknamed Fat Lady because of it's extra thick case.

First GMT with white gold indices borders and sapphire crystal, steel was the only option.

Was only offered with the red/black bezel, which was also a new combination.

With the new caliber 3085 the 24-hour hand became Independently adjustable. The seconds hand only stopped when the crown was pulled all the way out -> accurate time could be kept while setting the watch.

Extra large crown gards.
