Bring a Loupe: A 1962 Tudor Submariner Ref. 7928 ‘Eagle Beak,’ A Universal Genève Polarouter De Luxe SAS, And An Omega Seamaster Ref. 135.007 With ‘Speedmaster Dial’

The Turn-O-Graph is one of the more curious offerings of the Rolex back catalog, in that it took many different forms over its lifetime (very different forms, at that). Things kicked off with the ref. 6202 in 1953, which is seen by most as the watch that laid the framework for the Submariner that started it all, 1954’s ref. 6204. This first Turn-O-Graph’s waterproof properties were obviously important, but the rotating bezel was the main attraction. Funnily enough, it was marketed as a convenient tool which could be used to keep track of long-distance calls, cakes in the oven, the doneness of boiled eggs, and record-breaking instances of spirited motoring alike.
