Rolex’s most colorful sports model is GMT-MASTER, the Greenwich type. Greenwich’s most prominent features are its lively and changeable appearance, slim figure, and lust. Rolex replica swiss.
Greenwich’s design was originally intended to meet the needs of pilots. The outer ring is designed in two colors: half is red to indicate daytime, and the other half is blue to symbolize nighttime.
The GMT needle is bright red (green and blue are added later), and the outer ring, in the early stage, is a half-red and half-blue contrasting design to enhance the visual effect. Due to jet lag, GMT was also designed to meet the needs of aviation pilots. In addition to the average local time, the 24-hour hand can accurately display the difference between day and night. It can also cooperate with the rotating outer ring to quickly calculate the second time zone.
In addition to the multi-colored outer ring, GMT’s straps have used both commemorative and Oyster straps since the beginning, so the new model uses a five-bead strap to return to tradition. It could be replaced with an Oyster strap, so there is no need to be surprised or impulsive to buy a new model.
It can be seen that the middle style of GMT-MASTER overlaps, and it can be said that it is divided into two main lines, namely GMT-MASTER & GMT-MASTERⅡ. Why is there a difference between the first and second generations? The core is that the difference in the movement leads to apparent differences in use:
The GMT-MASTER movement traditionally adopts a two-time design (in the early stage, the GMT hand and the hour hand rotated simultaneously by adjusting the minute hand, and later, there was a second gear for adjusting the calendar alone, but the third gear still adjusted the minute hand)
In the 1980s, 16750 and 16760 began to distinguish between the first and second generations: Unlike the first-generation 16750, the second-generation 16760 adopts a three-time design (the first three gears of the minute hand remain unchanged).
However, the new second generation only partially replaced the traditional first generation. The first generation, 16750, was upgraded to 16700, and the second generation, 16760, was upgraded to 16710. If you need clarification on the model, you can note the changes in the movement. Ca.l3075-3175 is the first generation, and Cal.3085-3185-3186 is the second generation.
Why do two generations exist at the same time? The old and new designs have advantages. One is convenient for adjusting the calendar, and the other has a separate GMT hour hand.
Today, we are going to talk about the GMT pair. The left is Ref.16710, and the right is Ref.16753. Both are relatively niche color outer rings. The black and red ring only appears in Ref.16760, Ref.16700, and Ref.16710, while the black and gold ring is in Ref.16753, Ref.16713, and Ref.116713. The red needle is against the red ring, and the gold needle is against the gold ring, which complements each other and shows their style.
It is worth noting that the model mark on the dial shows that Ref.16710 belongs to GMT-MASTERⅡ, and Ref.16753 is the first generation GMT-MASTER.
Ref.16710 is also known as the Coca-Cola ring (Coke), which is more stable than the Pepsi ring. The 24-hour outer ring is used with the 24-hour small red needle.
Ref.16753 is eye-catching and ostentatious with its gold lettering and black background. Paired with a five-bead chain, the yellow T25 luminous scale has a powerful retro effect, just like the noble and wealthy Lafite in 1982.
In addition to the color, choosing an Oyster or commemorative strap is another big problem for GMT, which is also the fun of GMT. The five-bead chain has made a comeback and brought a new trend.
Without human intervention, it can maintain the original flavor of history. A big man once said that beautiful things are always similar, whether a plastic lens or a sapphire; they are perfect as long as they are not overly modified.
GMT has one more GMT function than SUB. In theory, the movement is more complicated, but the case is more bone-like: the transition from the middle to the end of the two sides is like the ups and downs of the brushstrokes in calligraphy, and the peaks should be reached when the brush is closed. The original vintage Rolex can see a clear shoulder line, like a woman’s fragrant shoulders, which is a dazzling landscape.
As for the back part, although the 16710 is pierced, it has adopted a solid strap head, which makes the strap more solid and durable. The 16753 is a five-bead chain design, and with the gold chain head connected, the strap is already brutal to stand straight.
Comparing them together, you can clearly distinguish the difference between the 30 and 31 series movements. I like the 30 series Rolex very much. It is relatively playable, and you can find a satisfactory style without a very high price. The Ref.16800, Ref.16803, and Ref.16660 I wrote about all 30 series movements before and have introduced them many times. The current mainstream GMT watch design is the 3185 movement with a dual-time function. The actual parts change is small, but setting the time separately in two places is convenient. Swiss fake watches.
In 2018, Rolex launched the Ref.126710 red and blue style, replacing the movement with the new 3285. Although the polishing and design have been significantly improved, the watch needs to reach the level Rolex should have in terms of stability. If you want to blame it, blame the 31 series for being too good.
In addition to the ordinary steel models, GMT’s product line is complete, and all-gold and all-diamond models are commonplace, showing that Greenwich is positioned higher than ordinary sports models (except Daytona). If you want to talk about all GMT-MASTER, you need to spend tens of thousands of words to explain it clearly and thoroughly.
