Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph. The Datejust Turn-O-Graph is a member of Rolex's Oyster Perpetual line. It is a Datejust watch, which is close to close to Rolex's heart as it was Rolex which introduced the first wristwatch to feature a date display on the dial of the watch, in 1945. The date is displayed under a magnifying Cyclops lens. The Datejust Turn-O-Graph introduces a rotating bezel with sixty minute markers for timing durations of time. Other than the bezel, the Datejust Turn-O-Graph is distinguished from the other Datejust watches because of the red seconds hand marker and red date display.
The nomenclature of this watch is derived from the rotating bezel on these particular models, which differs from the stationary bezel of most Datejust Rolexes. The Turn-O-Graph/ Thunderbird was first introduced in the mid 1950's and gained notoriety as an award given to US Air Force pilots returning from war with considerable decoration. These watches were never really well received by the masses, but represent an interesting variation on a classic watch.
The Thunderbird model contained the Rolex Turn-O-Graph bezel, but the name Thunderbird stuck when the Air Force started to award pilots of the Thunderbirds with this particular watch.
The success of the Datejust is phenomenal. From a flagship model when it was first released to one of their entry level models now, it still retains the prowess and exclusitiveity that have made it famous.
