The Datejust Thunderbird is instantly recognizable thanks to the addition of a 60-minute Turn-o-Graph bezel. The first Rolex watch to include a timing bezel, the Thunderbird would later pave the way for standard Rolex sports watches with rotatable bezels. Additionally, the Thunderbird was the first Rolex tool watch, making it an instant collectors item. The perfect mix between a dress watch and a sports watch, this reference 16253 effortlessly fits in no matter where you choose to wear it. The 36mm Oyster case is framed with an 18 karat yellow gold bezel, offering a handsome contrast to the matte blue dial and yellow gold index hour markers and sweeping hands. A five-piece link Jubilee bracelet and Fliplock clasp accompany the case, creating a timepiece that you will never want to take off.
