Rolex Zephyr models
As a fan of Rolex's "Zephyr" models, I wanted to put together a coherent timeline/list of variants. Two things define a Zephyr: a crosshair dial, and one of these two bezels types:
There are some Rolexes with only a Zephyr bezel, or only a crosshair dial, and I'll leave it to you to decide if those are true "Zephyrs," as that's a collector term and not an official Rolex term. I'll try to include them all in this list.
Men's Oyster models
1956-1960: Ref. 6582
1960-1967: 1008/1009
1967-1987: 1038
(first "Guill. Ind" bezel rather than "Guill. Fant")
1969-1973: 1512
(only Zephyr with a date)
Ladies' models
1971-1983: 6724
1983-1996: 67243
Non-Oyster models

Mid-1960's: 3694 pendant watch
Misc. crosshair dials

Some Tru-Beats have crosshair dials too:
