The 16753 is the two-tone steel and 18K yellow-gold GMT-Master, in production from 1981 to 1988. Collectors name it after the dial: "Root Beer" in the US, "Tigerauge" in German, "Eye of the Tiger" in English-language editorial, "Occhio di Tigre" in Italian, all four for the same brown sunburst nipple face. Caliber 3075 carries over from the steel [[Reference:16750|16750]] with no 16753-specific tuning. Clint Eastwood wore one on screen in ''Firefox'' (1982), ''Tightrope'' (1984), and ''In the Line of Fire'' (1993), which made the reference the canonical "Eastwood Rolex." From 1983 it ran alongside the [[Reference:16760|16760]], and that pairing marks where the family split. The 16753 kept the older caller-GMT mechanic; the 16760 introduced the flyer GMT-Master II. | The 16753 is the two-tone steel and 18K yellow-gold GMT-Master, in production from 1981 to 1988.
