Therefore, in 1954 was presented the first GMT model, reference 6542, and after only 5 years later in the light of the success of this model the reference 1675 was presented, which remained in production until 1980. Reference 1675 (the present watch) followed in 1981 introducing the quick set feature and a new higher beat caliber 3075 movement.
