Rolex GMT-Master 1675 Pepsi

One of our favourite series in the long line of GMT’s, the 1675 embodies all that is great about vintage GMT’s. It can’t help but evoke dreams of vast intercontinental trips during the golden age of air travel. This particular reference is the one that springs to most peoples mind when they think of the GMT, with it's blue and red 'Pepsi' bezel, matte dial and classically proportioned case.

This particular example hails from circa-1978 and features the original MKV tritium matte dial in spectacular condition. Plots are full with minimal degradation and a lovely creamy patina. Hands are matching, with the seconds hand slightly lighter in colour. Date wheel is silver, with open 6's and 9's.

Bezel looks to be original, has a lovely fade, especially on the lower half.

The case is nicely preserved. Has been polished, but retains thick lugs. Serial is clear between the lugs, 5481XXX .

Comes equipped on a 78360 Oyster bracelet with 458 endlinks. Has 10 links, and stretch is very minimal for its age. Date code on the clasp is H, which is circa-1983.

Serviced history is unknown. Currently running around +13 secs per day at 283 degrees of amplitude at time of writing.

No box or papers. Comes with Watch Vault cleaning cloth and Watch Vault travel pod.
