The Rolex GMT-Master Ref 16753: A Vision in Brown

When most people think of Rolex, they picture a durable steel dive watch that can withstand high pressures and profound depths. But the Swiss watch brand doesn't just make diving timepieces like the Rolex Submariner watch. It also makes accessories for pilots.

The Ref 16753 watch is part of the GMT-Master lineup. This collection started in the 1950s, offering pilots a reliable multi-time watch for aviation planning. This particular model provides a distinct look that's instantly recognizable among collectors.

The Rolex Rootbeer

Rolex began producing the Ref 16753 in the 1980s. Before it launched, Rolex released a few different color variations of the GMT-Master. However, this model marked a stark departure from tradition, offering a two-tone design with hues of brown and cream.

This watch's dial is a deep brown. Raised hour markers clad in yellow gold line the perimeter of the face while gold hands and Rolex's signature Mercedes-style hour marking occupy the center. At the 3 o'clock position, you'll find the date window. Acrylic crystal covers the dial, and there is a magnifying Cyclops lens over the date window.

Like other GMT-Master watches, the Ref 16753 has a dedicated 24-hour hand for Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Surrounding the dial is a rotating bezel with hour markers. Rotating the bezel allows you to display a second zone, and the two-tone design incorporating dark brown and cream reflects day and night.

Construction

While the Ref 16753 is not a steel dive watch like the Rolex Submariner watch, it still offers water resistance. It remains protected to a depth of 100 meters.

The 40mm case of the Ref 16753 is predominantly stainless steel. However, yellow gold accents appear on the dial and crown. The watch also comes with a traditional two-tone Oyster bracelet. But instead of making all three links of stainless steel, Rolex uses gold on the middle link for additional aesthetic flair.
