Rolex GMT-Master 16578 Black Dial and Bezel – 18K Yellow Gold Jubilee Bracelet – Rolex Warranty

ROLEX GMT-MASTER 16578 BLACK DIAL AND BEZEL – 18K YELLOW GOLD JUBILEE BRACELET – ROLEX WARRANTY

The GMT has been a fundamental piece in the Rolex product line ever since its introduction in 1954. Originally, the wristwatch was designed in collaboration with Pan American World Airways (an airline, which filed for bankruptcy in 1991 and was partially bought by Delta Airlines). In the 1950’s, the aviation industry gained more and more popularity and pilots and their crew started to take more long-distance flights than ever before. This was the reason Rolex introduced the GMT Master for Pan Am. The bezel (24 hours indication) was an innovative key feature that allowed the wearer to simultaneously reference two different time zones. The fourth hand (24-hour display) enables the wearer to set the watch to any time zone for the main time view, then set the rotatable 24-hour scale bezel to a second time zone. For the ones who didn’t know, GMT stands for “Greenwich Mean Time”
The reference 16758 was first introduced in 1980 shortly after the Ref. 16750 and was in production until 1988. Both the 16758 and 16750 featured the updated Cal. 3075 quick set date movement, but the 16758 included further advancements as well.
