The present GMT-Master reference 1675 is an exceedingly rare example featuring the UAE crest and the signature of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
Noteworthy also is the "Quraysh Hawk", printed in different 'padded layers' which creates a peculiar tri-dimensional effect. At the centre of the hawk, symbol of the United Arab Emirates, is a polychrome enamelled Dhow or Arabian sailboat, which is replaced today by the U.A.E. federation flag.
In stunning overall condition, the present watch is furthermore distinguished by the "navy" blue bezel insert, believed to have been a special feature for watches supplied predominantly to Middle Eastern armed forces in the early 1970s.
Its original dial stands out by the evenly discoloured luminous material to numerals and hands, displaying a most charismatic cream-coloured tone, all enhanced by the very crisp "Quraysh Hawk" crest and signature of His Highness Sheik Al Maktoum. The case is likewise preserved in very good overall condition, full case proportions enhanced by the well-defined fluting to the lugs.
Of superb overall appeal and rarity, the present reference 1675 is a rare find for the aficionado of rare sports watches.
