The 1675 is peak vintage GMT-Master. Its 21-year production run means there's variety to chase - gilt, matte, tritium, later crown guards. My favorite era is the mid-70s matte-dial Pepsi with modest patina. On the wrist at 40mm it wears smaller than modern GMTs, and the flat, unpolished tritium markers give the whole thing a lived-in warmth modern references can't replicate.

Peak vintage GMT. My matte-dial Pepsi has developed the kind of even tritium patina that just can't be faked. On the wrist at 40mm it wears smaller than modern GMTs - refreshing. Only issue with these now is condition and price, and both are becoming a challenge. Still worth every dollar if you find the right one.
