Rolex 2025 New Releases Set to Dazzle at Watches & Wonders
As Watches & Wonders 2025 approaches, all eyes are on Rolex. The world’s largest and most revered watch brand has once again teased its upcoming releases, sparking anticipation and speculation. With 48 brands presenting at this massive horological event in Geneva, Rolex is poised to steal the spotlight. Here’s what we think might be coming next from the legendary watchmaker.
The Titanium Yacht-Master Finally Arrives
One of the most exciting hints from Rolex is the highly anticipated titanium Yacht-Master. The teaser video released by Rolex includes an unmistakable glimpse of the Yacht-Master’s distinctive bezel, coupled with a visual of a racing yacht, making it clear that this long-rumored model is likely to debut. A prototype version was spotted on the wrist of British skipper Sir Ben Ainslie during the 2025 Prada Cup, and now, it seems ready for public release. Rolex’s first titanium replica watch, the Deepsea Challenge (ref. 126067), introduced in February, signaled the brand’s growing interest in this lightweight, durable material, and the titanium Yacht-Master looks like the next logical step.
Titanium Explorer in the Pipeline
Another major tease is a titanium Explorer. The teaser video prominently features a watch with clear Explorer characteristics, sharing the same finish as the Deepsea Challenge and the upcoming Yacht-Master. This suggests that 2025 could see Rolex expanding its titanium lineup, a move that would certainly excite collectors.
A Platinum Daytona for the 60th Anniversary?
Rolex might also unveil a new platinum Daytona, marking the 60th anniversary of the legendary model. The teaser video provides a fleeting view of an ice blue-dialed fake watch, reminiscent of the platinum Daytona released for the model’s 50th anniversary a decade ago. The fast-paced camera work, paired with imagery of a highway, has led many to speculate this could be a high-profile addition to the Daytona lineup. Alternatively, there’s a possibility of a titanium Daytona, but given the hints, a platinum version seems more plausible.
A New Cellini in Yellow Gold?
Rolex’s Cellini line, known for its dress watches, has remained quiet in recent years, but 2025 could bring a revival. Hints in the teaser suggest the introduction of a new Cellini model, possibly in yellow gold. The Cellini Moonphase (ref. 50535), currently available in rose gold, may soon be joined by this elegant addition, offering fans a new luxury option in the line.
A Fresh GMT-Master II with Yellow Gold Indices?
Fans of the GMT-Master II might be in for a treat, as the teaser video includes a glimpse of a GMT watch with a ceramic bezel and yellow gold indices. While the exact color of the bezel remains unclear, this could signal the arrival of a new ‘Root Beer’ model. Rolex has a history of causing a stir with new bezel colors and nicknames, so this release could be another attention-grabber.
The Return of Stella Dials?
Rolex’s Oyster Perpetual collection, with its vibrant lacquered dials, has gained immense popularity since its colorful revival in 2020. Now, there’s speculation that 2025 might see the return of the much-loved ‘Stella dials,’ with the teaser hinting at a burnt orange lacquered dial. Originally introduced in the 70s and 80s, these colorful dials offer a playful twist to Rolex’s typically conservative designs and could bring a burst of nostalgia to the upcoming collection.
As Watches & Wonders 2025 draws near, Rolex enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting official announcements. From the titanium Yacht-Master and Explorer to the potential new platinum Daytona and vibrant Stella dials, the upcoming releases promise to be thrilling. Rolex continues to captivate the watch world, blending innovation with tradition in ways that leave fans constantly guessing and wanting more. Stay tuned for the official unveiling, and prepare for some stunning additions to the Rolex lineup.
