Rolex 1675/3 GMT Master "Root Beer" SS / 18K YG Brown Dial Circa. 1972

The Rolex 1675/3 GMT‑Master, affectionately known as the “Rootbeer,” is a two‑tone classic produced from around 1970 through 1980. It pairs a robust 39 mm stainless steel case with warm 18 k yellow gold accents, crowned by a rich brown “nipple” dial that ages into a velvety brown‑purple patina. Powering this vintage icon is the reliable Rolex Caliber 1575 automatic movement, complete with GMT and date functions, a COSC chronometer rating, and hacking seconds introduced mid‑production. Its acrylic crystal and bi‑directional brown‑and‑gold bezel evoke the charm of vintage tool watches, while the gilt printing and gold hands underscore its luxury heritage. With a lug‑to‑lug length of approximately 47.5 mm and a case thickness near 13 mm, the 1675/3 strikes a balanced presence on the wrist. Collectors prize it for its distinctive aesthetic, historical significance as the first two‑tone “Rootbeer,” and the enduring robustness of its movement and construction. Excellent Condition with EWC leather travel pouch. This watch was just fully serviced.
