Dubbed the “Thunderbird” after its adoption by the U.S. Air Force aerobatic squadron, it combined timing functionality with Datejust sophistication. Later references incorporated the calibre 3135 movement and Rolesor cases, keeping the model relevant for collectors who appreciate both innovation and heritage.
Every Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph features an automatic calibre 3135 movement, 100 metre water resistance, and a signature rotating bezel for timing functions. Variants include stainless steel, yellow Rolesor, and white gold configurations with dial colours in silver, black, blue, or champagne.
For Men: The 36 mm Datejust Turn-O-Graph offers classic proportions and subtle sportiness suitable for any occasion.
