Among enthusiasts, it is respectfully nicknamed \u003cb\u003e„Fat Lady“\u003c\/b\u003e (or also „Sophia Loren“), as Rolex had to create a noticeably thicker case, a wider bezel, and more robust crown guards for the newly developed caliber 3085. As the progenitor of all GMT-Master II models, the Ref. 16760 ushered in a new era in 1983 and also introduced the iconic red-black bezel insert that remains to this day – the birth of the famous \u003cb\u003e„Coke“\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe birth of the „Coke“ bezel insert:\u003c\/b\u003e The reference 16760 was the very first Rolex model ever to be delivered with the black-red aluminum bezel insert. The red symbolizes the daytime hours, the black the nighttime hours. The bidirectional rotating bezel gives the watch its distinctive, sporty charm of the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStriking „Fat Lady“ case:\u003c\/b\u003e The 40-mm Oystersteel case is characterized by its robust height and bulky proportions. This unique case shape was used exclusively for this single reference, making it one of the most distinctive and sought-after case designs in the entire Rolex history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTritium dial with historic patina:\u003c\/b\u003e The deep black dial (often with the coveted „Date“ inscription as \u003ci\u003eGMT-Master II\u003c\/i\u003e) impresses with its cream-colored, darkened Tritium indices and hands. The gentle aging of the luminous material gives each piece from 1986 an incomparable, individual vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRevolutionary manufacture caliber 3085:\u003c\/b\u003e Inside beats the historic automatic caliber 3085. It was Rolex’s first GMT movement where the main hour hand could be adjusted independently from the GMT hand in hourly increments. Combined with the rotating 24-hour bezel, this allowed for the first time the simultaneous reading of a third time zone – the birth moment of the true \u003ci\u003eGMT-Master II\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAcrylic Glass with Cyclops lens:\u003c\/b\u003e The dial is protected by a characteristic, slightly raised Sapphire Crystal (one of the first in Rolex sports models), which guarantees a perfect 2.5x magnification of the date thanks to the integrated Cyclops lens at 3 o’clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eClassic everyday robustness:\u003c\/b\u003e With the screw-down Twinlock winding crown and the hermetic Oyster case back, the Ref. 16760 offers reliable water resistance of up to 100 meters (10 ATM).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthentic Oyster or Jubilee bracelet:\u003c\/b\u003e This classic is worn either on the contemporary three-link Oyster bracelet (Ref. 78360) or on the five-link Jubilee bracelet (Ref. 62510H).
