The Datejust Turn-O-Graph 16263 is a Rolesor model featuring the signature fluted rotating bezel. The Turn-O-Graph debuted in 1953 as the brand’s first watch with a rotating bezel, later integrated into the Date_just collection in the mid-1950s as the “Thunderbird”, named after the U.S. Air Force aerobatic squadron. Produced in the late 1980s to early 1990s, the 16263 was powered by the C. 3135 movement. The brand discontinued the Turn-O-Graph in 2011, making the 16263 a sought-after collector’s piece for its mix of sportiness and classic elegance.
