Rolex never fails to grab the attention of the watch industry with its eagerly awaited releases, and Watches and Wonders 2025 was no different. With a combination of cutting-edge designs, sophisticated aesthetics, and technological innovations, the Swiss luxury brand cemented its place as a pioneer in horology this year.
Rolex has once again astonished and thrilled enthusiasts with everything from a completely new Land-Dweller model to eye-catching dial improvements across several collections. Let’s explore the most exciting releases from Rolex’s 2025 collection.
Rolex Land-Dweller
The Rolex Land-Dweller, a brand-new model that boldly expands Rolex's catalog, is one of the most innovative debuts this year. This clock is revolutionary for both collectors and aficionados since it honors vintage designs while incorporating cutting-edge technology.
What Makes the Land-Dweller Special?
- Combining Modern Elegances with Vintage Inspiration- With a sleeker, more modern aesthetic, the design is evocative of Rolex's watches from the 1970s, such as the Oysterquartz and the Rolex 1530.
- Slimmer and More Comfortable- Because it is 20% thinner than the Datejust, it is both sturdy and lightweight, making it the perfect choice for people who value sturdiness without sacrificing a sleek profile.
- Advanced Movement- The Land-Dweller introduces the Caliber 7135, Rolex's first high-frequency mechanical movement to improve accuracy and performance.
- Luxurious Sport Appeal- With its built-in band, the watch firmly establishes itself in the sport-luxury market, appealing to individuals seeking style with a bit of toughness.
Available Variants & Pricing
The 36mm and 40mm sizes of the Rolex Land-Dweller are available, along with three opulent variations:
- Oystersteel $13,900 to start
- Everose Gold: $42,100 to start
- Platinum: $59,200 to start
(Costs differ according to size and configuration.)
One of the most sought-after releases in recent years is anticipated to be this latest addition to Rolex's range.
Oyster Perpetual
Rolex has officially retired the beloved Celebration dial from its Oyster Perpetual collection. This eye-catching model gained immense popularity for its vibrant and playful design. However, in its place, Rolex has introduced a sophisticated new range of dial colors that bring a fresh yet refined identity to this classic collection.
New Dial Color Options
The updated Oyster Perpetual lineup now features elegant pastel tones, including:
- Pistachio
- Blue
- Lavender
- Candy Pink
- Beige
- Black
These colors are available across five different case sizes: 28mm, 31mm, 34mm, 36mm, and 41mm. While the design remains minimalist and sophisticated, the new dial options add a contemporary twist, making the collection more versatile than ever.
GMT-Master II
Although Rolex hasn't released the long-rumored Coke GMT, the brand has managed to mix things up with intriguing new versions, and the GMT-Master II remains a fan favorite.
Key Updates for 2025
- The Pepsi GMT is still a mainstay in Rolex's collection as evidence of its ongoing appeal.
- Confirming earlier leaks, a destro (left-handed) Sprite GMT in white gold was revealed, giving the collection a distinctive touch.
- A new Tiger Iron dial was unveiled for the Everose gold and yellow gold GMT-Master II models. Its eye-catching design adds to the watch's opulent appeal.
These modifications demonstrate Rolex's dedication to understated innovation and classic design, even though they might not be as significant as some had predicted.
Cosmograph Daytona
The renowned legacy of the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is upheld as it continues to evolve. Three eye-catching new dial color variations were unveiled by Rolex for 2025, revitalizing this iconic model:
- White Gold with a Blue Dial – A sophisticated and timeless choice.
- Yellow Gold with a Green Dial – A vibrant, eye-catching option.
- Yellow Gold with a Turquoise Dial (on Oysterflex Bracelet) – A bold and luxurious statement piece.
These new variations prove that the Daytona remains one of Rolex’s most enduring and collectible timepieces.
Sky-Dweller
The Sky-Dweller, renowned for its sophisticated technology and features that make it easy to travel, now has a stylish green dial in yellow gold. With Rolex, there are two options:
- Full Yellow Gold with Green Dial
- Yellow Gold with Green Dial on Oysterflex
This straightforward but significant improvement further cements the Sky-Dweller's standing as an elegant and opulent travel watch.
Datejust 31
Rolex has withdrawn the Datejust 31 collection's floral diamond-set dials, another unexpected twist. Instead, this classic model has a gorgeous red sunburst dial encrusted with diamonds, giving it even more beauty and individuality.
Rolex 1908
One of the brand's most recent releases, the Rolex 1908 series, now includes a complete yellow gold Jubilee-style band. The new bracelet choice gives the collection a higher degree of refinement and presence, even though the dials stay the same.
