1978 Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph Steel & Gold 36mm 1625
Here we have a lovely 1978 Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph 1625 featuring a 36mm Steel and 18ct yellow gold case that sits comfortably on your wrist with fine tapered lugs. Turn-o-Graph refers to its innovative, bidirectional rotating bezel designed to "turn" and measure elapsed time, acting as a precursor to diving watches. Introduced in 1953, it was the first Rolex to feature a rotating bezel and gained the nickname "Thunderbird" after the U.S. Air Force aerobatic team adopted it for navigational calculations. Its curvaceous flanks lead to a lug-to-lug length of 43mm and a case thickness of 11.5mm. On the right side, an 18ct yellow gold signed screw-down crown. The 18ct yellow gold bidirectional bezel has deep knurling for grip and an attractive textured insert with a raised 60-minute scale. A domed crystal sits above a sunburst gold dial with an outer minute track, surrounding applied facet-edged 18ct yellow gold baton indexes, and a Tritium pip marking the hours. At 3 o’clock, a date window with Cyclops magnification. Elegant 18ct yellow gold hands are complemented by a tapered sweeping second hand. At noon, we have ‘Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust’ and at 6 o’clock, ‘Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified’, completing this sophisticated dress watch. On the reverse, a coin-edged screw-down solid case back, inside an automatic Rolex Cal. 1570, 26 jewels, 19,800 beats per hour. First introduced in 1965, this exceptional movement was COSC Certified. Giving it the smooth tick associated with Rolex. It comes paired with a very nice 20mm folded-link Rolex 62523H-18 Jubilee steel and 18ct yellow gold bracelet, featuring a Rolex folding clasp with 445 End Links and will fit up to a 7.15-inch wrist.
