Generations run left to right, ancestors first, and the axis along the top is ordinal rather than linear: each band is one generation, labelled with the range of sourced introduction years it contains. A band reads “—” when no caliber in it has a year anyone published — the gap is the finding, not a rendering failure. Dotted arcs above and below the drawing are related edges — successor, drop-in, no-derivation — which are stored in a different table from lineage and can never form part of an ancestry path.
Every edge in this view
| Caliber | Relationship | To | Status | Detail | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rolex 3075 | successor of related | design:rolex-1575 | accepted | Commercial replacement in the GMT-Master line: ref. 16750 (cal. 3075) replaced ref. 1675. The GMT article names only the reference ("19,600vph on the 1675 models"); the Submariner article supplies the calibre inside the 1675 (the 1575). The join between the two is recorded here rather than hidden. | |
| design:rolex-3085 | successor of related | Rolex 3075 | accepted | Recorded as commercial succession only, and even that with a caveat the source supplies: the 3085 launched ALONGSIDE the 3075 in 1982 rather than after it, and the GMT-Master line ran on until ref. 16700 was phased out in 1999. No source consulted states that the 3085 derives from the 3075, so no lineage edge is authored. |
