The present example is arguably one of the most desirable 1675 variants: the "Fuchsia." It features an early thin case and a Mk 0.5 "Long E" zinc sulfide dial with a small GMT hand (a mouthful, we know…). The "Long E" refers to the elongated middle bar in the letter E—perhaps the most recognisable detail among the matte dials. It's named Mk 0.5 because it combines flat hands and the small GMT hand found in earlier gilt models. 

This is one of the best fuchsia 1675s we've ever seen. Amazing watch.
