Gmt 1675 Cornino

After the 6542, and before 16750, the 1675 appears, in GMT, this is the first model to possess a protective shoulders crown. First they are sharp (in the case of the model that I present to you today) and then classical.
It has lasted for almost 20 years (roughly from 1959 to 1979).
The GMT hand is small until approximately 1966 for after that date, look like what we know today.

I used to see the little hand on the dial rather 'chapter ring'+ Cornino case (which is obviously stopped after 1965-66), but is found also on models with timer open from 1963 to approximately 1966, that is about 4 years. (this is the case of this model)

The movement seems* to be a 1565 beating 18,000 vph, there is no independent adjustment of the needle time (GMT 1), no adjustment of date fast, not stop second, short, n 'there is nothing: roll:
(* I say seems, because I have not opened the Oyster and because there have been 1575 but a little later, and if I can trust the information I have read has left and right there is on them the second stop, It is not present here.)

There were very many dials on 1675, whose 'primitive' which were only OCC, namely "Officially Certified Chronometer", there were Underlined, the exclamation dial, the chapter ring, 'Radial', lacquered , mats ....
In short, I let the specialists bring their information .... (there is work!)

The bracelet should have been a 6636, here is a Nato is up ...


We can see the dial and its varnish altered by the weight of years, it is 'stardust' but homogeneous





We can see this photo with the shoulders 'Cornino' which I speak above





Here, with his 16710 a descendant of almost 40 years his junior, since the latter date to 2002 and the 1675 (although the numbers are difficult to observe, should, by its specificities, date of about 1963-1966 )

I add that some fans think that the shoulders Pointed Crown Guards are not the same as the Cornino, they say the drawing is not exactly the same, I do not see too much difference, but ... each will be his idea.

Here, this model is not brand, it changes the new watches with full set that I wear usually!!! but hey, it's nice nonetheless.
Do not hesitate to correct me and "bring some grist to the mill" ....
Thank you for reading
