Turn-O-Graph 6202
1953–19547 variants
The original Turn-O-Graph: a time-only Oyster with a bidirectional rotating bezel graduated to 60 minutes, the first such Rolex in series production and the template for the Submariner. Most have black dials with a black bezel insert. Replaced after about a year by the Datejust-based 6309.
Antiquorum gives about 4,200 steel examples, made until March 1954; Bob’s Watches gives about 1,000 over a 12-month run. Known case numbers in this file run from 949,579 (Monometer, III.53) to 953,468.
