Rolex Datejust 1625

The Rolex Datejust 1625 is a standout vintage reference that blends classic Datejust elegance with sporty utility, thanks to its signature Turn-O-Graph bezel. Produced primarily in the 1960s and 1970s, the 1625 features a 36mm Oyster case and a bi-directional, engine-turned bezel engraved with 60-minute markings—originally intended for timing purposes. Often seen in stainless steel and two-tone (steel and 18k yellow gold) variants, it’s powered by the reliable Caliber 1565 or 1575 automatic movement with a non-quickset date function. Nicknamed the “Thunderbird” when worn by U.S. Air Force pilots, the 1625 adds a functional twist to the classic Datejust profile, making it a favorite among collectors who appreciate vintage Rolex with a unique edge.
