Footnotes

The Rolex GMT was launched in 1954 after the Transatlantic Airways company asked Rolex to produce a watch useful for their pilots. It quickly gained favour among the Pan-Am executives and the business jet-set community as a whole.

Offered continuously since its introduction with relatively little modification it is perhaps, along with the Submariner, the most classic Rolex 'tool' watch made. The reference 1675 began production 80 years ago in 1960. This was the first GMT Master reference to feature protective crown guards as well as the smaller triangular tip on the second hour hand. The current example features a highly attractive gilt dial.

Examples of the immense popularity and timeless style of the model are evident with steel GMT Master watches being worn on the wrist of actors and actresses such as Honor Blackman as 'Pussy Galore' in the 1964 movie Goldfinger, Tom Selleck as the Ferrari driving 'Thomas Magnum' in the 1980s television series Magnum PI (series 2-4) and more recently on the wrist of Ben Affleck in the 2014 movie Gone Girl.
