Details
The Original Pilot's Watch, Perfected
The GMT-Master was born from a direct collaboration with Pan American World Airways, designed as a serious instrument for their transatlantic pilots. It was a tool watch in the truest sense, allowing crews to track multiple time zones with a simple and legible fourth hand. The reference 16710 represents the final and most refined version of this classic design before the shift to ceramic bezels and heavier cases. It is the apex of the five-digit GMT, combining vintage proportions with modern reliability.
Quickset Functionality For The Modern Traveler
This 1999 example is notable for its caliber 3185 movement, which features an independently adjustable quickset hour hand. This key feature allows the owner to jump the local hour forward or backward without stopping the seconds hand, making it incredibly practical for frequent travel. The all-black bezel gives the watch a more subdued and technical feel compared to its colorful siblings, allowing it to work just as well in a boardroom as it does in a cockpit. It is a highly functional and versatile execution of a legendary reference.
A Strong And Correct Example
The case on this GMT-Master II is in very good condition. It is fitted with the correct black bezel for the period, and the matching Oyster bracelet is in good shape. The dial is clean and the overall presentation is that of a well-maintained watch that has been worn as intended. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Go-To For Global Travel
This is the right choice for someone who wants the most authentic and functional version of the classic GMT. The reference 16710 offers a tangible connection to the golden age of aviation while providing the durability of a sapphire crystal and the convenience of a modern movement. It is a watch that has earned its reputation as one of the most useful and iconic timepieces ever created, ready for its next journey.
