Specialist note

The present watch is a variation of the iconic GMT-Master reference 1675. It feature the so-called “Long E” dial, defined, unsurprisingly, by the E of Rolex longer than what later found. These dials were the first featuring white graphics, after the discontinuation of the gilt dials. They can be found on watches produced circa between 1966 and the early 70s.
