Cal.1570 FF480/78363 Clasp Code B
Accessories: Main unit only
COMING SOON!

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's called beer, it's not actually beer, but a non-alcoholic, spicy carbonated drink that's popular in the US , and the can is apparently a similar 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 final dial in the sunray/applied dial series.

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 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 luminous material is all tritium.

The hands have an exquisite aging and a good atmosphere.
The luminous condition is also good.

The dial has some small scratches that are not very noticeable,
It is kept in relatively good condition.

The insert is also an important point!!
This particular model is equipped with a lovely brown gold insert and is highly recommended!!

What do you think?
This beautiful faded vintage look is truly charming!

A wonderful insert that complements the brown dial perfectly!
Inserts like these are hard to find.

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 thick and in excellent condition.

The lug feet are thick and the edges are well-standing!

Buckle clasp code is "B"

The vintage bracelet is in good condition with only slight wear!

Wrist shot!!
This model is really stylish and tasteful!
The sunray dial and applied crown mark are beautiful!
