In the 1960s, Rolex offered a ladies model referred to as the “Rolex Chameleon” which had a feature that allowed the user to almost instantly change the leather strap from one color to any other color.

The cases were small and conical, with a slot in the back for single-pass straps.

Rolex offered many different versions of the Rolex Chameleon and continued the model up through the late 1970s.

The watches were marketed as a watch with a sense of luxury and versatility.
