Why This Watch Matters The GMT-Master is one of the most iconic watches of all time; Here is a beautiful two-tone example with black dial and bezel. The Full Story Rolex launched the GMT-Master in 1954 in order to give pilots a watch that could read two time zones. Rolex has offered the GMT in various configurations over the years. The present example is a reference 16753 from 1980 cased in two-tone stainless steel and gold. This model has the iconic “nipple" dial in black with gold text. This watch also features an all-black bezel insert adding to the overall black and gold motif of the watch. Powering this watch is the caliber 3075, which has a quick-set date function. The GMT-Master in two-tone is an all around great watch that can be dressed up or down for any occasion.
