In this blog, we'll cover Rolex's 2025 new releases. If you're a Rolex fan, collector, or enthusiast, we think you'll definitely be happy with some of the new releases.
Watches and Wonders is the most prestigious watch event hosted in the motherland of watchmaking, Switzerland, Geneva. All the big industry players, such as Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, and, of course, Rolex, release their watches simultaneously, creating a fantastic event for watch enthusiasts where each brand competes in innovation, tradition, and luxury. The event brings collectors from across the world to get hands-on and even early access to some of the new models before they hit the market, which often takes months.
Rolex Daytona Collection
Firstly, starting off with quite possibly one of the most popular Rolex models, the Rolex Daytona. Rolex has reintroduced some fan favourites, including the chocolate brown dial for the rose gold Daytona. The meteorite dials have returned to the collection, this time exclusively for the precious metal Oysterflex Daytonas. Both of the 'John Mayer' Rolex Daytonas have been upgraded and reintroduced into the collection. Finally, and arguably the most notable, is the yellow gold Oysterflex Tiffany dial Daytona.
When the rose gold, chocolate dial Oysterflex Daytona was discontinued, it came as a surprise because it is the original rose gold Oysterflex configuration released in 2017.
Fortunately, Rolex has re-released the yellow gold money green dial Daytona, commonly referred to as the John Mayer Daytona. As you can see, the watch features minor yet noticeable design changes, including a new bright green sunburst dial and champagne sub-dials.
This Rolex Tiffany Dial has to be the wildcard of the new releases. The lacquer dial has so far been exclusive to the Yellow Gold Oysterflex Daytona; however, it would certainly be interesting to see if the brand introduced more bright dials to other Rolex models and collections.
The meteorite dial has finally returned to the Daytona, this time exclusively for the Oysterflex models. The dial is crafted from the Gibeon meteorite, which is now protected. However, it's likely that Rolex has large stores of this material, considering its aesthetic appeal. As meteorite is a naturally occurring material, each dial features a unique pattern.

The new Rolex Land-Dweller
The new Rolex Land-Dweller has just arrived in the Rolex catalogue. This watch was rumoured in the watch community for weeks and even teased by Rolex themselves on Instagram. So, it was no surprise when the brand revealed it at the Watches and Wonders event on April 1st, 2025.
The new Rolex Land-Dweller is available in both 36mm and 41mm sizes. The watch features a newly and exclusively designed honeycomb motif dial and a flat-link Jubilee bracelet with chamfered edges, which seamlessly integrates into the case. The Rolex Land-Dweller also has a new and exclusive movement, Calibre 7135, which can be viewed through the transparent case back.

New Oyster Perpetual Dials
Rolex has redesigned and re-released the Oyster Perpetual 41 to feature a slightly larger crown, slimmer bracelet, and minor changes to the case. The new 41mm Rolex Oyster Perpetual can be found under the Reference number 134300, rather than its previous 124300. So far, Rolex has not claimed any performance changes.
Certainly, more exciting and notable changes to the Rolex Oyster Perpetual collection this year have to do with the addition of pastel-coloured dials. New colours include dark blue, pistachio green, lavender, matte black, and finally, beige.

Rolex 1908 Collection
The Rolex 1908 was released in 2023, so we're surprised they're making changes to the collection. As of 2025, the yellow gold 1908 reference number 52508 is now configurable with a 7-link Settimo bracelet. The bracelet features a concealed clasp and a completely polished surface.

GMT Collection
This year (2025) at Watches and Wonders, Rolex released the GMT Sprite in white gold with a green ceramic dial. This is the first time Rolex has crafted a dial from ceramic, showcasing the brand's innovation and how they are always challenging and striving for greatness.
Rolex has also introduced a Tiger Iron dial to the full yellow gold 126718GRNR and the full rose gold 126715CHNR GMT.

After reading all of the above, you may be asking yourself, "Where can I buy one of these new 2025 Rolex releases?" Rolex has released the watches, but the majority of the models won't hit the market until later in the year. If you are interested in any of the new Rolex releases, contact us.
