At the National September 11 Memorial Museum in New York City, a Rolex remains forever frozen in time. This watch, its case melted and damaged, sits beside a crumpled business card that once belonged to Todd Beamer, an account manager at Oracle. The watch's second hand has not moved for over two decades, and its date window is permanently stuck on "11." On September 11, 2001, four terrorists hijacked United Airlines Flight 93, intending to crash the plane into a target in Washington, D.C., with many believing the U.S. Capitol was the intended destination. However, Todd Beamer and other passengers bravely fought back, forcing the plane to crash into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. While their courageous actions prevented further destruction, everyone on board perished. After the hijackers took control, Beamer attempted to call his wife but was connected to a phone operator instead. During this call, the operator heard Beamer and fellow passengers organizing a plan to storm the cockpit. His final, now-famous words were, "Are you ready? Okay. Let's roll." Years later, Beamer's Replica Rolex, a two-tone Turn-O-Graph with a tapestry dial, became part of the museum's collection. The Turn-O-Graph was Rolex's first model with a rotating bezel, introduced in the early 1950s, even before the famed Submariner. Beamer, 32 at the time of the tragedy, had just returned from a vacation in Italy the day before boarding Flight 93. Now displayed at the memorial museum, Beamer's damaged and crystal-less Rolex serves as a powerful symbol. It stands as a reminder of a hero's final moments and remains frozen at the exact time when courage triumphed over terror.
