Watches and Wonders Geneva 2025

Rolex’s most important new model in decades, the new Land-Dweller.

It's an entirely new model that draws on some vintage design inspiration but is highlighted by the Dynapulse escapement — a proprietary, patented, and industrially optimized direct impulse escapement using dual silicon wheels. The caliber 7135 inside is officially the brand's first mechanical high frequency movement. It has a new steel case that recalls the ref. 1530 and Oysterquartz models from the 1970s but is 20% thinner than a Datejust.

On July 28th, 2023, the name "Land-Dweller" was trademarked (alongside "Coast-Dweller") by Rolex U.S.A. Shortly thereafter, watch internet sleuths broadcast the news via posts, reels, shorts, TikToks, you name it. Posts were shared, emojis were added, and within days, all of this blew over. Today, Rolex takes advantage of that sneaky summer of 2023 trademark.

Commonly referred to as the "Oysterquartz" design, this shape was first introduced with the mechanical Datejust ref. 1530 in 1975 — exactly 50 years ago. The successor Oysterquartz references 17000 (Datejust) and 19018 (Day-Date) began production in 1977, popularizing the design, hence the name.

The new-for-2025 Land-Dweller revives the 50-year-old ref. 1530 shape with slight proportional tweaks measuring 36mm or 40mm in diameter and 9.70mm thick — 2.3mm thinner than the standard Datejust 41. The distinctive five-row Flat Jubilee bracelet found on many of these vintage references has been updated for the Land-Dweller. Most notable is the inclusion of a Crownclasp — Rolex's term for a "hidden" clasp featuring a crown-shaped pull, a feature not offered on the Datejust 36 and 41 Jubilee since 2018. Case metal options presented today are steel with a white gold fluted bezel, Everose gold with or without a baguette diamond-set bezel, and platinum with or without a baguette diamond-set bezel.

Dial-wise, the Land-Dweller is a mix of existing Rolex models with a bit of Datejust feel to the dial, albeit with a new honeycomb motif treatment and applied cardinal numerals in the style of the Explorer collection as well as the Cyclops on the crystal to magnify the date. On the backside is an exhibition caseback.

The Land-Dweller is fitted with a brand new and patented direct impulse escapement, which Rolex is calling the Dynapulse escapement. As an idea, this type of escapement tech dates back to the mid to late 1700s with Pierre Le Roy, John Arnold, and Thomas Earnshaw and has been refined by many great watchmakers since. Today, Rolex presents its own iteration of the centuries-old and theoretically superior direct impulse escapement.

the design of the case reminded me of....

casioak

I purposely choose a hairy one 😁

[Gnahp]

I think these designs are going to spoil it's entire line of models.
