1977 Rolex GMT Master MK3 Radial Dial Ref. 1675
The Rolex GMT Master Ref.1675 has been manufactured from 1960 until 1979 in gilt and matte dial versions. The matte dials started off in 1967 with the MK1 dial variant. This watch is from the early MK3 batch from ca.1977 and features the rare Radial dial. On this dial variant the minute track has longer lines, hence the lume plots are positioned more towards the center of the dial. This particular piece is in very nice vintage condition and retains a great dial. A very collectible GMT, actually the only one which is noticeably different from the other matte dial variations.

Brief History
Rolex GMT-Master
The GMT Master was launched in 1954 and designed in collaboration with Pan American Airways, with an extra 24h hour hand and bi-color bezel that allowed pilots to track two time zones across day and night. The GMT Master is characterised by an automatic movement and the iconic dual-colour bezel that represents each of the 24 hours in a day.
