The Rolex Datejust Turn-o-Graph debuted a few years before the Submariner and GMT Master, making it the first model in the brand's catalog to offer a rotatable timing bezel. Also known as the "Thunderbird", the Turn-o-Graph was also a military watch that was issued to the aerobatic team by the same name. An impressive piece of Rolex history, the Turn-o-Graph is a coveted collector's item by those who are in-the-know. The ref. 16263 that you see here today also showcases classic Datejust design in the form of a 36mm waterproof Oyster case, striking diamond hour markers, a jump date at the 3-hour marker and a supple five-piece link Jubilee bracelet.
