Reference 1675 is the successor to the first GMT-Master ever created, reference 6542. The watch was made in response to Pan American Airways', also known as Pan AM, increased number of transatlantic flights. The dual time wristwatch is able to tell the time in two different time zones, which was supposed to help pilots from jetlag.
Reference 1675 was introduced in 1960. This example, tracing back to 1961, is one of the earliest examples and remains in superb condition.
