The Rolex GMT-Master as we know it today began to take shape with model ref. 1675. Many avid fans of this reference consider it to be one of the most significant editions of the GMT-Master ever created, because it introduced us to many of the key features of this model, including the 40 mm case and crown guards introduced to the GMT with this very reference. The 21 years of production (1959-1980) witnessed its evolution that affected, without distorting, the entire watch.
However, it is the dial that boasts the most interesting variations.

Initially, Ref. 1675 featured a shiny gold dial with gold text called Gilt, which was replaced over time by a matte dial with white text in the mid-1960s, called Matt. From there, several additional dial variants were made, including polished dials with or without a seconds ring and several matte dial variants classified into different “Marks” from Mark 0 to Mark 6.

The GMT we present for sale features the rare and highly sought-after Mark 3 Radial dial. The Radial dial is distinguished by the size and position of the hour markers rather than differences in font like many other GMT 1675 dials . Compared to other editions of the GMT-Master 1675, the hour markers are smaller and are located closer to the center of the dial. The Radial dial is also called the “mini dial” and is among the most recognizable and desirable 1675 dial variants because it has a slightly different aesthetic than the others.
Radial dials are found on GMT-Master 1675s produced in the mid- to late 1970s with serial numbers ranging from about 4.1 to 5.4 million.

Rolex produced this edition of the GMT-Master for only a very few years (1976-1977), making the GMT radial dial even rarer.

If you are looking for a quintessential vintage GMT-Master with an exciting story to tell, you can’t beat the Mark 3 Radial dial ref. 1675.

It has the retro aesthetic that many collectors are looking for, but with an added touch, thanks to the Radial dial.
