The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Zephyr 1008 is the direct successor to the 1950s reference 6582, continuing the Zephyr name into the 1960s on a 34 mm Oyster case. The style is defined by its four-quadrant "cross-hair" dial, a design that omits applied numerals in favor of thin lines dividing the face into quarters, and by a bezel available in a distinctive engine-turned pyramid pattern rather than Rolex's plainer smooth or fluted options. (Wind Vintage) Production examples run through the 1960s on either the calibre 1560 or the later, quickset-less 1570, and two-tone steel-and-gold cases like Rolex's own 14K yellow-gold bezel executions turn up alongside full-steel versions.
