Why This Watch Matters The reference 16750 represents a great compromise between tradition and modernity, as it combined a quick-set date with the beloved plexiglass crystal that makes the matte dial of the GMT-Master looks so nice. The Full Story The reference 16750 is virtually identical to the former reference 1675, except that it offers a newer movement with higher beat and quick-set date. So you still get the thin case, the matte dial, and the old school plexi that we loved from the 1675, except that the new reference is mechanically superior. And the Pepsi bezel still looks killer, offering one of the most intuitive readings of a second timezone that you could experience. This explains why this watch remains a favorite of frequent travelers; it is not only sweet to look at, but tells you promptly and easily what time it is at home. Add a bit of patina, and you are all set.

Moreover, this reference 16750 shows a really nice dial, where the lume has taken a really nice patina that matches that of the handset. The bezel insert is in great condition, as it was most likely replaced in the past. The Oyster bracelet was added later, and comes without stretch. The GMT movement works flawlessly, and allows for the always convenient quick-set date.
