That slot lets the watch slide off one single-piece band and onto another. When worn, the channel keeps the strap beneath the head, so the watch sits on the band without lugs. A smooth 18K yellow gold bezel frames a warm cream patina dial with raised gold markers, and the watch comes on a yellow linen strap with two extra leather straps and its presentation box.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRolex's Mid-Century Wardrobe Concept\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eOn sale by 1953, the Chameleon was built around interchangeable straps. Owners could swap bands without spring bars or a jeweler visit, since the strap simply slides through the slot in the caseback. The earliest Chameleon advertisement on record, from 1953, likens the strap set to a wardrobe and shows a starter set of four leather straps in black, red, green, and blue.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarm Cream Patina On Dial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis piece is in Good Vintage Condition overall, with mid-century case lines that keep their definition. The miniature 18K yellow gold case and slotted pass-through caseback show light surface wear consistent with age. The smooth gold bezel surrounds a cream dial and gold hands with a warm vintage patina, and the crystal is clear. The yellow linen strap threads cleanly through the case channel and fastens neatly. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight And Flat On The Wrist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ePetite proportions and a 9.3-gram weight sit lightly on the wrist.
