GMT-Master 1675 - MK1 Matte Dial - Watch Only - 1969

A genuinely honest example of the long-loved Rolex GMT-Master 1675, presenting with its MK1 matte black dial, faded black bezel insert. This is a watch that wears its history openly - exactly the kind of vintage Rolex that rewards close inspection.

Condition:

• Honest case with softened bevels and visible age - consistent with a watch that has been worn and lived with
• MK1 matte dial has been relumed
• Bezel insert faded to a uniform warm tone

The 1675 is the GMT-Master that defined the reference for two decades of production, and an early-1.9M-serial matte-dial example like this captures the transition era where Rolex moved from gilt gloss dials to the matte tritium look that would carry the model through the 1970s.
