Reference 6582 of the Rolex Zephyr was first produced in the 1950s and later followed by reference 1008. The Zephyr model is easily identified by the characteristic crosshair dial and the bevelled bezel. Rolex launched a new Zephyr reference in the early 1970s - reference 1038 with square baton hands and imprinted hour indexes. That model also featured a bezel engraved with square markers.
