Description

The Rolex GMT-Master Ref. 16700, produced from 1988 to 1999, represents the last chapter of the original GMT-Master before Rolex transitioned exclusively to the GMT-Master II. Crafted in Oystersteel, the watch retains the iconic 40 mm Oyster case and the timeless pilot-watch design that made the GMT-Master a legend among travelers and aviation professionals.
Unlike the GMT-Master II, the 16700 features a non-independent local hour hand, meaning the second time zone is tracked via the rotating 24-hour bezel rather than by adjusting the hour hand independently. The model is fitted with a sapphire crystal and a bidirectional bezel with interchangeable aluminum inserts, most commonly seen in Pepsi (red/blue) or Coke (red/black) configurations.
Powering the watch is the reliable Rolex Caliber 3175, an automatic movement known for its robustness and precision. Late-production examples feature applied white-gold hour markers and luminous material transitioning from tritium to Luminova. Today, the 16700 is highly appreciated for offering the classic GMT-Master look with improved durability and a purist mechanical layout.
