The GMT-Master 1675 here dates back to 1963 and features a broad pointed crown guard (PCG) case and a “Type C Non-Chapter Ring” dial in the “Wide Swiss” variation. This refers to the “Swiss T<25” text spanning five minute hashes at the bottom, rather than the more common three. Rolex only used the PCG design for a few years before moving to the more practical rounded crown guard design (which they have retained to this day). Although a minor difference, PCG 1675s have a completely different silhouette thanks to the unique crown guard shape.
