Concorde, No Crown Guards
GMT-Master Concorde 1675/8 — Concorde, No Crown Guards
?–1965
Early gold case without crown guards, recalling the 6542 but with 1675 dimensions. Many have the alpha or baton “Concorde” hands of the gold 6542 rather than Mercedes hands, with the small 24-hour hand. One c. 1965 example has a matte-grain dial with gold cup-shaped markers (“bicchierini”).
