Rolex showcased its highly anticipated 2024 lineup at Watches and Wonders, the premier event for watch enthusiasts. Unlike last year’s bold and colorful designs, replica Rolex opted for a more classic approach this year, making subtle updates to beloved models like the GMT-Master II and Sky-Dweller. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few surprises in store.
Prior to the event, there was speculation about a new GMT-Master II featuring a red-and-black “Coke” bezel, inspired by a 2022 patent filing for a black-and-red Cerachrom bezel. Instead, Rolex surprised attendees with one of its most understated GMT-Master II models in recent memory, subtly echoing a release from last year’s event. Let’s explore some of the standout new Rolex watches for 2025.
The Sleek New GMT-Master II
Rolex’s latest GMT-Master II, reference 126710GRNR, is crafted in steel with a sophisticated black-and-gray colorway, offering a fresh take on the previous two-toned model, 126713GRNR. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a black-and-gray bezel from Rolex, but it’s the first time it’s been used in a steel GMT-Master II. It joins the “Pepsi” (red and blue), “Batman” (black and blue), and “Sprite” (black and green) as part of Rolex’s Oystersteel GMT-Master II collection. The watch is available with either a Jubilee or Oyster bracelet and is priced at $10,900, making it a sought-after piece for collectors.
A Dazzling New Deepsea Model
Rolex introduced a striking new version of the Deepsea, their ultra-capable dive watch, now available in yellow gold. This model features a Cerachrom bezel insert and an RLX titanium caseback, marking the first time Rolex has combined gold, titanium, and ceramic. With a depth rating of 12,800 feet, the Deepsea is designed for serious diving, yet it seamlessly blends luxury with technical excellence – a hallmark of clone Rolex’s design philosophy.
Sky-Dweller Takes Center Stage
The Sky-Dweller has evolved from an under-the-radar model to a highly coveted watch, thanks to its sophisticated design and functionality. In 2024, Rolex introduced two new Sky-Dweller references: one in Everose gold and the other in yellow gold, both featuring a Jubilee bracelet made entirely of precious metal. This marks the first time such a bracelet has been paired with the Sky-Dweller, adding an elegant touch to Rolex’s most complex watch.
Additional 2025 Rolex Releases
Rolex continued to expand its collection with a variety of new offerings. Among the most luxurious are two new Daytona models featuring diamond-set bezels and mother-of-pearl dials. The “Pearl Panda” model boasts a white mother-of-pearl dial with black chronograph registers and is available exclusively with an Oysterflex strap, while the black-dial version comes with an Oyster bracelet.
Rolex also updated the Day-Date with several new variants, including a notable Everose gold model with a charcoal dial that was discreetly debuted at the Oscars earlier this year. Completing the 2025 lineup is a new 1908 dress watch, now available with a platinum case and an engine-turned guilloche dial in ice blue, adding a touch of elegance to the collection.
