As the watch industry leader, Rolex has been loved by many watch fans with outstanding craftsmanship and technology, and the annual output exceeds 1 million, which also allows its sales to stabilize the swiss replica watches industry.
To this day, Rolex has been born in many classic series. Now we are based on the “Glinnie” as the topic to discuss the development history of “GMT-MASTER.”
The story started in 1954. At that time, it was difficult for airliners to calculate their destination time in different time zones, so the famous American international airline, Pan -American Airlines, found noob Rolex replica with the needs of pilots. I plan to design one to display two at the same time. This cooperation has led to the birth of GMT-Master.
The GMT-MASTER REF. 6542, designed for Pan-American Airlines employees for the first time, was already equipped with a classic “Pepsi” circle. The red represents the day, and the blue corresponds to the night. However, the bezel was made of plastic glass, which was easier to scrape. Later, in 1959 and 2005, they were replaced by oxidized metal aluminum and high-tech ceramics, respectively.
In 1959, Rolex launched a new GMT-Master Ref. 1675, which would continue until around 1980. Different from the previous generation, the crown cover is added, the case and the time label have also increased, and the two materials of stainless steel and 18CT gold are provided.
Ref. 1675 also experienced two crown cover versions. The first version was a crown cover, and the later iterated version was even more round, called a round crown cover.
In the early 1970s, the GMT-Master series added two new products. One is to introduce the two-color GMT-MASTER of steel and gold-a brown dial with a semi-brown and semi-gold bezel, and the other is the black dial with a black surface.
In the 1980s, Rolex began to launch a sapphire crystal and GMT-MASTER REF. 16750 with the function of the fast date settings.
In 1983, starting from Ref. 16760, GMT-Master was renamed GMT-MASTER II, and the most significant innovation originated from the GMT pointer and the bezel support independent settings. The thick case device, so the watch is also called “fat woman.”
In 1989, Rolex updated the GMT-Master II series, replaced by Ref. 16710 by REF. 16710. The new 3185 movements were used. The most significant difference was that the case became thinner. Love. Until 2007, this model was produced for 18 years.
