!675 GMT hand adjustment question.

Hi gents,

A question if I may.


I have a 68/69 1675 GMT-Master with a 1575 non hacking movement. I've had the watch since 2004 after my father died. He owned the watch since it was new.

The question is this:

The winding crown is wound backwards to advance the hands. ie with the watch facing upwards and the winding crown on the right hand side I turn the winding crown 'anti clockwise' to advance the hands (make them go forward in time). Winding the watch manually requires the crown to be turned 'clockwise'.

I have a 2015 Explorer II 216750 which I wear daily and to advance the hands the crown is turned 'clockwise' as you would expect.

TBH I hadn't really noticed until I decided that my old GMT needed airing on the wrist for a week or so.

The watch (GMT) was serviced in 2015.


Is my GMT 1675 set up correctly?

It's really got me wondering!

Thanks guys

Tim

That is normal for the old model Tim.

The later model movement reversed the gearing on the direction of the hand.

Thanks for that.

It's been playing on my mind.

Even though I only recently noticed it!
