Rolex launched the Datejust Turn-o-Graph in 1953. This model was the first serially produced timepiece in the brand's catalog to offer a rotatable timing bezel, earning it the name "Turn-o-Graph". The U.S. Air Force also assigned the Turn-o-Graph to their aerobatic team the Thunderbirds, making it an official military watch and earning it its other nickname "the Rolex Thunderbird". The ref. 16253 that is presented here today is the steel and gold option that also features a classic Datejust dial via a jump date at 3 o'clock and sophisticated hour markers and hands. Its also boasts a striking textured 60-minute bezel as well as an acrylic crystal over the dial and Tritium luminous material in a patina that has since faded to a similar hue as the champagne dial.
