Second-generation GMT-Master two-tone model "Ref. 1675/3 Root Beer"

This is the first model of the GMT-Master combination, produced from around 1970 to around 1979.
From the first combination model (brown dial),
The watch features a popular brown and gold two-tone bezel.
This model (brown gold x brown) is called Root Beer overseas.
Although it is called beer, it is not beer, but a non-alcoholic spicy carbonated drink that is popular in the United States .
The cans seem to be the same color.

I have the impression that the Ref. 1675/3 has become less and less common recently.
Prices are also on the rise for specimens in particularly good condition.

By the way, the Ref. 1675/3 Root Beer is made of 18K gold with an applied crown mark,
The Ref. 16753 Root Beer has a printed crown mark.

Basically, the Ref. 1675/3 has a matte dial,
This is the rarely seen final dial of the sunray/applied dial.

The most distinctive feature of this model is the barnacle dial.

"Barnacles"
GMT-Master and Submariner models manufactured from the 1960s to the 1980s
Present spire-shaped upright indexes.
It is commonly called the "barnacle dial" because it looks like a barnacle on a shell.
Overseas, it is also called a "nipple dial."

The luminous material is all tritium.

The condition of the luminous hands is good.
The burnt feeling is slightly thinner than the index luminous one,
The atmosphere is not particularly affected.

The discoloration typical of sunray dials is very slight.
The dial is also in good condition.

The brown dial changes shade depending on the angle of the light.
This is an outstanding piece with a beautiful barnacle index that matches perfectly.

The brown gold insert is also in good condition and matches the period.
It's a beautiful color.

There are some scratches from use, but the case and bracelet are in good condition!

The middle case is in the condition you see here!
The case is in excellent condition with no noticeable wear.

The lug legs are also thick and sturdy.
