Rolex Vintage GMT-Master 1675 Faded Pepsi Bezel

Vintage Rolex GMT-Master 1675 - Faded Pepsi Bezel

By Paul Altieri

In production for over 20 years, the iconic 1675 was one of the more popular and noticeable timepieces manufactured by Rolex in the 1960’s and 1970’s. The 1675 was first introduced with a stunning, glossy, gilt dial, and was later changed to a matte dial in the late 1960s. The bezel insert shows how well engineered this watch was as a pilots companion, as tracking a second time zone became very simple with its 24 hour markings and easy-to-read GMT hand. This is a great example of a 1675 with nice patina, striking lines, stunning color, and beautiful functionality.

This 1968 example of a 1675 GMT has been recently polished and has clean lug bevels that shine well but it’s the bezel insert that takes center stage here. It is a remarkable “Pepsi,” red and blue insert that has faded to the highly desirable light silver/blue and faded red, giving it a stunning and unique appearance. The Mk 1 matte black dial is sharp and clear with patina to the hour markers and the hands match nicely. The swiss rivet oyster bracelet is strong and is completely intact. Strong case, strong dial, beautiful bezel, what’s not to love?
