As the second generation of Rolex’s dual time-zone wristwatch, the 1675 made its debut in 1960 and enjoyed nearly two decades of continuous production. Needless to say, this reference rooted in aviation was an instant success thanks to a big case which was the first to feature crown guards and a more durable Aluminum bezel.
Although world-timers and GMT watches were not groundbreaking innovations at that time, Rolex took a remarkably innovative and straightforward approach in response. They cleverly introduced a red pointer hand that completed one revolution per day. That way, a simple adjustment to the bezel would allow the wearer to read the time in two different locations at a glance.
The present example, with its “Pointed Crown Guards” case and “Swiss only” dial is undoubtedly as attractive as it is elusive.
Please read the condition report carefully and refer to the high-resolution pictures to help you assess the overall condition of the watch.
