It bridges the gap between vintage aesthetics and modern functionality, introducing the upgraded calibre 3075 with quickset date while preserving the classic plexiglass charm collectors love. This 1986 example showcases the model’s defining features: a 40 mm stainless-steel Oyster case, black dial with luminous hour markers, and the iconic dual-time functionality originally developed for professional pilots. The plexiglass crystal adds the warm, unmistakably vintage character that later sapphire models lack, making the 16750 a favourite among enthusiasts who want both practicality and authentic heritage. As one of the last GMT-Master references to retain the traditional acrylic crystal, the 16750 remains a highly sought-after piece, offering robust reliability combined with true vintage appeal.
