First Rotating Bezel: Released in 1953, the Turn-O-Graph was the first Rolex watch to feature a rotating bezel, which allowed wearers to measure elapsed time. This innovation preceded other famous models, including the Submariner.

Thunderbird Nickname: The Rolex Turn-O-Graph gained the nickname "Thunderbird" after being adopted by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, an elite aerobatics squadron, who used the watch for timing their maneuvers. This nickname has stuck, particularly with the Datejust versions.
