After NCR, Hurd worked at Hewlett-Packard for five years, where he was named one of the 25 most powerful people in business by Fortune Magazine in 2007.

Datejust 116233
The Datejust is a classic 36mm watch from the Rolex lineup; perfect for a business person. It is a subtle and timeless watch that goes with both casual and dressier attire. The classic 116233 model comes standard with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, a serial engraved inner reflector ring, and a Twinlock double-sealed waterproof screw down crown, making it a sturdy and reliable watch.
Hurd’s Datejust showcases a two-tone Jubilee bracelet, which is made of Rolex’s own Oystersteel and 18 carat yellow gold. A silver dial and luminescent Index hour markers make it a sophisticated everyday watch.
Mark Hurd owns a second two-tone 116233, but this one is on an Oyster bracelet. It also has diamond hour markers outlined in yellow gold, which add a touch of elegance. A black dial offsets the diamonds brilliantly, while also providing a nice contrast to the yellow gold fluted bezel. A COSC certified 3135-caliber movement keeps perfect time and powers the 50-hour power reserve. This watch retails for $12,350, but you can own one for much less if you purchase pre-owned.
