Rolex Turn-O-Graph | Ref. 1625 | Steel and 18k yellow gold | Year 1963
The Rolex Turn-O-Graph ref. 1625 is one of the most historic and underrated pieces in the Rolex catalog, a model that marked a turning point in modern sports watchmaking.
Introduced in the early 1950s, the Turn-O-Graph was the first Rolex to incorporate a functional rotating bezel, an innovation that served as the foundation for the development of later icons such as the Submariner and the GMT-Master. Its rotating bezel allowed for quick and practical time interval measurement, making it a true tool for professionals.
This 1963 example belongs to reference 1625, recognized for its 18-karat yellow gold engine-turned bezel and stainless steel case, a combination that provides a balance between sportiness and elegance. The silver dial with applied indices and the plexiglass crystal with Cyclops lens maintain the entire original aesthetic of the era, enhancing its vintage character.
Inside, it houses the automatic Rolex caliber 1570, one of the most reliable and precise movements from the brand, a symbol of Rolex's mechanical excellence during the 1960s.
Furthermore, this model is also known by its "Thunderbird" nickname, used by Rolex in the North American market in honor of the United States Air Force aerial squadron that adopted this watch as part of its image. A historical detail that reinforces its professional tool spirit and its strong link to aviation.
The condition of this piece is excellent: it preserves its original presence, with a soft patina and a natural glow that only the passage of time can offer. A watch with soul, history, and timeless elegance.
