This is an automatically translated text.
The 6542 is the very first gmt Master and above all a real museum piece.
It is in fact a Turn-o-Graph reference 6202, with a different bezel and a modified movement to add the 4th hand that moves twice as slowly as the classic hour hand.6542 has no crown guard, and uses the classic Oyster case of the time in 38 millimeters, smaller than all the gmt Master references that will succeed it, which will go to a diameter of 40 millimeters.On its shiny black dial, there is a classic date window at 3 o'clock, which will remain on later models, and which is highlighted by the famous "Cyclops" that Rolex had launched the year before on its Datejust.When the 6542 was launched, this rotating bezel was made of bakelite, the first plastic made from a polymer of benzene in a solvent, named after its inventor, Belgian chemist Leo Baekeland.This material made it possible to make the numbers on the bezel luminescent by treating them with tritium, but it turned out to crack easily even with care. The 6542 references are rare on the market, especially in their original configuration. It is noted that they are almost impossible to find with a bezel in this condition, since very few pieces like these have survived the ravages of time. This is a historical and unique piece. |
