The Rolex maison itself, established in 1905, has a rich heritage defined by innovation and a commitment to quality.

The Rolex GMT-Master was first introduced in 1954, specifically designed to meet the needs of Pan Am pilots for transcontinental flights. With its dual timezone function, the watch allowed pilots to keep track of both their home and destination times. Over the years, the GMT-Master evolved, culminating in the 16750, which incorporated various technical advancements while retaining the classic elements that made the model beloved.

The 16750 is distinguished by its vibrant Pepsi bezel and classic black dial, exuding a timeless aesthetic that resonates with both vintage charm and sports functionality. Its stainless steel case is not only robust but also crafted to withstand the rigors of daily wear, while the Caliber 3075 movement ensures precision and reliability. The self-winding mechanism and quickset date feature enhance its practical appeal, making it suitable for both casual and formal occasions.

One notable user of the Rolex GMT-Master, though primarily associated with earlier models, is jazz legend Miles Davis, who was known to embrace the watch’s adventurous spirit and practicality. The GMT-Master line has also been favored by pilots and astronauts, including members of the Apollo missions.
