Unlike the later GMT-Master II, the Ref. 16753 belongs to the original GMT-Master collection and is prized for its classic proportions, acrylic crystal, and distinctly vintage appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example features a black dial with raised yellow-gold hour markers commonly known as a “nipple dial.” The dial is complemented by gold hands, a red GMT hand, and a black 24-hour aluminum bezel insert. Its 40 mm stainless steel Oyster case is accented by an 18k yellow-gold bezel and winding crown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePowering the watch is the Rolex Caliber 3075 automatic movement, which introduced a convenient quickset date function. The 24-hour hand remains synchronized with the main hour hand and works with the bidirectional rotating bezel to display a second time zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch is fitted with a two-tone Rolex Oyster bracelet constructed from stainless steel and 18k yellow gold. It is in approximately 7\/10 vintage condition, with visible wear consistent with its age. A Rolex presentation box is included, but the original papers are not present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel: GMT-Master\u003cbr\u003eReference: 16753\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Year: Circa 1981\u003cbr\u003eCase Size: Approximately 40 mm\u003cbr\u003eCase Material: Stainless steel with 18k yellow-gold accents\u003cbr\u003eDial: Black nipple dial with raised yellow-gold hour markers\u003cbr\u003eBezel: Bidirectional 18k yellow-gold bezel with black aluminum insert\u003cbr\u003eMovement: Rolex Caliber 3075 automatic\u003cbr\u003ePower Reserve: Approximately 48 hours\u003cbr\u003eCrystal: Acrylic with Cyclops date magnifier\u003cbr\u003eBracelet: Two-tone Rolex Oyster bracelet\u003cbr\u003eFunctions: Hours, minutes, seconds, quickset date, and second time zone\u003cbr\u003eOriginal Water-Resistance Rating: 100 meters \/ 330 feet\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Approximately 7\/10 vintage condition\u003cbr\u003eBox: Yes\u003cbr\u003ePapers: No\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stated water-resistance rating reflects the model’s original factory specification and is not guaranteed for a vintage watch unless it has recently passed a pressure test.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AAA Jewelers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50683797012773,"sku":"13211-1","price":11350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/8792\/8613\/files\/16753-1.jpg?v=1751400911","url":"https:\/\/aaajewelryutah.com\/products\/1981-rolex-gmt-master-16753-black-nipple-dial","provider":"AAA Jewelers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
