I \"Long E\" Dial","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Rolex GMT is the jet-setting icon of the Rolex sports watch family. The history of this sophisticated, versatile style dates back to 1954, when Rolex received a request from Pan Am to create a technical pilot's watch that could indicate two time zones simultaneously. As advances in aviation made transcontinental flights commercially available, Pan Am needed a watch that could be issued to its crews on long-haul international flights.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGMT stands for Greenwich Mean Time - the time zone that regulates world clocks and is required for all aviation planning and schedules. The Rolex GMT Master has a fourth 24-hour hand that directly displays the same time zone as the standard 12-hour hand, but on a 24-hour scale. The edition of this GMT hand enabled crews to set the watch to GMT or another time zone and, using the rotating 24-hour scale bezel, correct the offset to display a second time zone on the 24-hour scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis feature is just as useful today, allowing the modern traveler to easily keep track of their home time zone, no matter how far they may have journeyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"47%\"\u003eStock #\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"2%\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"47%\"\u003eRLXGMT1675-69\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRolex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGMT-Master\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1675\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSerial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19XXXXX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMen's\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatte Black \"Mk.

I “Long E” dial remains in exceptional vintage condition, displaying only nominal age and presenting beautifully. Minor clipping is visible along the outer minute track at 6 o’clock, a common characteristic of matte Rolex dials from this era, though it has little impact on the dial’s overall appearance. The tritium lume plots have developed a warm cream patina. The original tritium hands have aged to closely match the dial, with slightly darker patina along their edges, providing a slightly more dramatic appearance. Under UV light inspection, neither the dial nor the hands exhibits lume degradation. The original metallic date wheel features the correct “closed” 6 and 9 numerals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eACCESSORIES \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNone.
