Notes
Our example of the Rolex GMT Master II 1670 is presented in excellent condition and features a flip lock folding clasp and black and red 'coke' bezel. Our example exhibits signs of use although the stretch to the bracelet has some stretch. Our example comes with box, 'your Rolex' booklet and green wallet, as well as Rolex UK service centre papers dated 2004 and 2007, so some polishing is to be expected. We have reviewed additionally and our example operates satisfactorily. The original papers are absent. Representing outstanding value for money given the rise in value of all GMTs.

History
Introduced in 1954 through a collaboration with Pan Am airways, the GMT Master was designed to measure two timezones. The red arrow hand indicates the second timezone which can be adjusted by rotating the bezel. In 1989 the GMT Master II was introduced with a quick set hour hand which could be adjusted as a timezone was crossed. The classic models were discontinued in 2007. Given the enormous length of the model’s history, this model has featured in many iconic films and on celebrities including: Clint Eastwood, Marlon Brando, Honor Blackman (as Pussy galore), Bruce Reynolds, Tom Selleck (as Magnum PI), Che Guevera, Jackie Stewart and many NASA astronauts.
