Launched in 1953, the Rolex Turn-O-Graph preceded the two other iconic Rolex watches that are famous for their rotating bezels — the Rolex Submariner and the Rolex GMT-Master. The first Datejust "Turn-O-Graph" collection is the 6202. The steel model of the 6202 looks quite similar to the Sub with its glossy black dial, luminous Mercedes-style hands, luminescent hour markers, and of course, the black bezel calibrated to 60 units.

Discontinued for a number of years, Rolex reissued the Turn-O-Graph in the early 2000s. Pictured here is the modern version of the “Thunderbird’ — the Datejust Turn-O-Graph 116264. The 36mm stainless steel Oyster case is topped with the famed bezel, but this time crafted in 18k white gold for a touch of luxury. The white dial with silver baton hour markers comes alive with the red seconds-hand, red date wheel, and red “TURN-O-GRAPH” label. Beating within the ref. 116264 is the Rolex Caliber 3135 automatic mechanical movement. The modern Turn-O-Graph was eventually discontinued in 2011, signaling the end of a historically significant Rolex time piece
