Edge types in this family
accepteddisputedcontested region
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 1560 | revision of lineage | Rolex 1530 | accepted | interchange note: The only delta the sources publish is chronometer certification: the 1530 is described as "non-chronometer", the 1560 as "COSC-certified by Rolex", and the dial legend changes to SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED. Certification is an EXECUTION axis in this corpus; two design nodes exist here only because Rolex issued two calibre numbers. No component swap is sourced. · component delta: regulation_method,certification | |
| Rolex 1565 | variant of lineage | Rolex 1560 | accepted | interchange note: The 15x5 numbers are the date members of the 15x0 family. The source states that movements of this family were routinely LABELLED 1560 or 1570 because Rolex used engraved plates for a whole family rather than individualising calibre numbers, which is the evidence for family membership; the delta itself is the date mechanism. · component delta: calendar_mechanism | |
| Rolex 1570 | revision of lineage | Rolex 1560 | accepted | interchange note: Published delta: beat rate 18,000 vph -> 19,800 vph. Hacking seconds arrived later, in 1971, WITHIN the 1570 designation rather than as a new calibre number. · component delta: frequency | |
| Rolex 1575 | revision of lineage | Rolex 1565 | accepted | interchange note: Published delta: beat rate raised over the 1565. Hacking seconds followed in 1972, within the same calibre number. · component delta: frequency | |
| design:rolex-3000 | successor of related | Rolex 1570 | accepted | The 14270 Explorer replaced the 1570-powered ref. 1016. Commercial replacement; no derivation is stated by any source consulted. | |
| design:rolex-3035 | successor of related | Rolex 1575 | accepted | Commercial replacement. The sources contrast the 3035 with "the previous calibre 1575" on frequency and quick-set date but never state a derivation, so no lineage edge is authored. | |
| design:rolex-3075 | successor of related | 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. |
