Rolex Datejust Turnograph

The Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph, sometimes called the Thunderbird, quietly paved the way for tool watches with style—launched in the 1950s, it mixed precision with a rotating bezel before it was cool. It’s this blend of function and flair that, honestly, makes it a bit of a sleeper hit. At Tropical Watch, we keep an eye out for pieces like that—understated legends with stories to tell and details you can obsess over mid-coffee sip.
