Originally produced in 1954 as a tool watch for pilots, the current reference was introduced when Rolex recognized the demand for a dressier dual time zone watch targeted at the stylish international traveller.
This example features a 'nipple dial', found on certain GMT-Master and Submariner models, whereby the yellow gold hour markers protrude from the dial slightly. 'Nipple dials' can be found on the previous reference (1675) but later evolved to larger luminous indexes with narrower yellow gold surrounds.
