Rolex Vintage GMT Master "Pepsi Bezel" SS C. 1971 Mark I

The Rolex 1675 GMT Master marries the innovative legacy of Rolex's jet age tool watches with a distinctive aesthetic that has earned enduring reverence among collectors. Its signature red and blue 'Pepsi' bezel immediately signals its pedigree and practical intent, designed for aviators navigating multiple time zones. The black matte Mark I "Long E" dial, accented by iconic luminous hour markers and hands, offers unmistakable vintage character enhanced by warm patina over time. Driven by an automatic movement, the 1675 was among the earliest models to feature the revered microstella 1565 and later 1575 calibers, admired for their robustness and pioneering engineering. The comfortable stainless steel case and classic Oyster bracelet underscore a utilitarian sophistication. More than a mid-century travel companion, the 1675 GMT Master stands today as an essential reference point for both historical significance and enduring style. The bi-directional 24-hour bezel with red and blue aluminum "Pepsi" insert is a distinctly recognizable feature, with this example showing light fading. The date at 3 o'clock features the original silvered "open 6 & 9" date wheel. 2.8M serial (circa 1971). Excellent Condition with Rolex box and booklet.
