About the Rolex GMT-Master – Ref. 16753 (Root Beer / Two-Tone / 40mm):

The Rolex GMT-Master ref. 16753 is a standout vintage reference, widely known as the “Root Beer” for its distinctive brown and gold colorway. Combining stainless steel with yellow gold, it offers a more refined take on the classic GMT-Master while maintaining its tool watch functionality.

Powered by the Caliber 3075, this reference introduced a higher beat rate and a Quickset date feature, improving everyday usability. Its acrylic crystal, nipple hour markers, and two-tone bezel give it the vintage character collectors look for, making the 16753 one of the most recognizable GMT-Master variations from the 5-digit era.
