It denotes gold markers. The symbol is the Greek letter sigma.

That's what is referred to as The Sigma Dial.T stands for Tritium andO stands for Oro ( Gold) . The indices, or the sticks are made out of Gold.
Cool vintage

During the transition to all gold indices Rolex made new markings..
oT Swiss To = gold indices -T Swiss T- = steel indices
