Considered\u00a0<em>the\u00a0<\/em>emblematic GMT-Master, it was produced from 1959 to 1980, enjoying one of the longest runs in Rolex\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"text-align: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;\">True to form with Rolex, 1675 models were given subtle, incremental changes throughout its 20-year history \u2013 meaning there is no shortage of models out there to explore. Let\u2019s check them out.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">br<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">br<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table class=\"mcnTextBlock\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" valign=\"top\">\n<table class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"mcnTextContent\" valign=\"top\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #006699;\"><strong>WHY THIS WATCH MATTERS<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p align=\"justify\">The 1675 is the second generation of the Rolex GMT-Master, replacing the first model, ref 6542.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p align=\"justify\">Integral changes were made to the 1675 \u2013 first was the introduction of crown guards and second was replacing the fragile radium Bakelite bezel with an aluminum insert \u2013 both making the watch robust enough for daily wear.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;\">These improvements, along with its sheer beauty, made the 1675 popular. Along the way, Rolex introduced a succession of variations in dials, hands, and other features, making the 1675 a model that\u2019s quite fun to get lost in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table class=\"mcnTextBlock\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" valign=\"top\">\n<table class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"mcnTextContent\" valign=\"top\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #006699;\"><strong>VARIATIONS OF THE 1675<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p align=\"justify\">Luckily, despite the vast number of variations among 1675 models, they are well documented and it is generally easy to place the date of your desired model if you know what you are looking for.

The pointed crown, often called \u201cEl Cornino\u201d because of its resemblance to horns, can be seen in earlier models and until the mid-1960s.
