Feature: 2022 Rolex NEW Releases (+ Patek Philippe & Others)
With Watches & Wonders fast approaching, anticipation is building for this year's haul of luxury watches. So, we put our heads together to have a think what top watchmaker Rolex might be planning for 2022. We’ve also had a think about some other brands as well in the latest episode of our podcast. So without any further ado, here’s what we’re hoping to see from Rolex this year!
Rolex Submariner
We’ve seen a handful of colours displayed on the Submariner’s bezel over the years, namely cool-toned ones like blue and green. Next up, we want to see some warmer hues from the crown, namely a fiery red bezel—it is a colour associated with royalty after all. It wouldn’t be too unusual for Rolex to play with some colour either; take a look at the Oyster Perpetual range and you’ll find an array of different coloured dials from baby-blue to sunny yellow.
Rolex GMT-Master II
Most of us will be familiar with the famed “Pepsi” bezel, a neat red and blue number reminiscent—of course—of Pepsi’s logo. Well, we predict that Rolex hasn’t finished with the fizzy drink colourways just yet. The “Coke” bezel was once an option in Rolex’s roster which offered a red and black bezel, however it isn’t currently available in the newer ceramic version of the GMT-Master and we sure hope—and think—this is about to change…
Rolex Milgauss
The Milgauss is one of Rolex’s cooler options; the lightning bolt second hand and green tinted crystal say it all. We reckon this cool-kid-on-the-block could be in with a whole new movement, with an upgrade to the calibre 3231 instead of its current 3131. This update would equip the Milgauss with better anti-magnetic technology and Rolex’s Syloxi silicon hairspring. We also predict yet another colour change—perhaps a new shade of dial or crystal tint.
For more conversation on the upcoming Rolex watches we think could be released, why not listen to our latest podcast episode, where we discuss what we think are going to be the next big hits from all the best brands.
