Longines were the first to have rotatable bezel, then Omega, Movado, JLC and a few others used them. Then Rolex got involved. Maybe Blancpain before Rolex also.
Mercedes hands are a little different. There is no evidence that Rolex pinched the style from Mercedes but it was either that or a modern stylised version of cathedral hands.
I could of course have my facts wrong. Google will probably prove or disprove my view.
