From the brand: The Rolex GMT-Master was originally designed for Pan Am pilots in the 1950s and continues to be a flagship model for Rolex to this day. The reference 1675 was introduced in 1959 and remained in production until 1980.
This is a very nice Fuchsia 1675 featuring a 1.8M serial number, dating to circa 1968. These bezels were born on watches featuring 1.8M and 1.9M serial range from circa 1968-1969. The case appears unpolished. There is a slightly wider lug width on this watch which we have seen in late 1960s GMTs. The aluminum bezel insert is very attractive. It is paired on a C&I Rolex stretch Rivet bracelet dating to 1970.
We do not know the service history, but it is running well. It recently passed a 3 bar water resistance test. The watch does not come with box and papers.
