Many enthusiasts believe that the Rolex Turnograph reference 6202 is the very first steel sports watch that Rolex has ever made. The reason for this lies in the fact that while it was called Turnograph because of its rotating bezel, its technical and aesthetic features were virtually identical to those later used on the Submariner. The Rolex Turnograph 6202 was introduced in 1953 circa, while the first Submariner reference 6204 was not launched until 1954. The Turnograph 6202 was thus a precursor to the most iconic Rolex sports watch. As mentioned above, the watches were essentially identical, except for the case size of 36 mm for the 6202 and 37 mm for the 6205, the slightly different graduated rotating bezel, and of course the name printed on the dial, Turnograph in one case and Submariner in the other. The Rolex Turn-O-Graph, rare and manufactured for one year only, is the watch that revolutionized Rolexes business with the first ratchet bezel that led to the Submariner and GMT.
