Launched in 1979/80 to replace the well-loved 1675, the transitional 16750 is so similar to its predecessor that it takes a keen eye to appreciate the nuances that separate these two models. The main differences can be summed up as a new, more accurate calibre (3075), double the depth rating, a quick set sequence to the date function and a different layering of the hands. The reference was in production for around 8 years before being phased out.

Dial: Good, even patination to lume plots
Hands: Later service replacements, in good cosmetic condition
Glass: Surface scratches throughout
Case: Nicks and surface scratches throughout, 'ghosting' to red section, visible scratches to both sections
