There’s the totally rejiggered Air-King and a left-handed GMT Learn II along with never-before-seen frame colors. But that’s not all. When you’re talking about Rolex, however, subtlest modifications can end up being a big-deal — but this year, we got up-dates both large and little from throughout the brand’s ranges.
Which you need to understand.

The new GMT Master II is unexpected in a couple ways
This GMT Master II (ref. 126720VTNR) is Rolex’s first lefty watch. Actually . The particular crown is in the lefthand side, as are the particular date display and “cyclops” magnifier.
Rolex could’ve merely reached directly into its records and pulled out one associated with the nicknamed bezel designs fans have been clamoring meant for. Instead, they gave people something without a nickname (though how regarding “The Starbucks? “).
Rolex is a brand generally connected with environment friendly, and they have an on-trend color, yet nobody noticed this shift coming.
Price : $11, 050 (Oyster bracelet), $11, two hundred fifity (Jubilee)
GO MUCH DEEPER
From the brand new era intended for the Air-King
All of us can’t say we anticipated this — until all of us watched Rolex’s teaser movie . Still, it’s rather a big deal for your brand to fully overhaul a series as they did along with the Air-King for 2022 .
The Air-King (ref. ref. 126900 ) features small tweaks and refinements, but this really is the Oyster case using its sporty overhead guards which gives this watch a niche market all the own inside Rolex’s catalog.
Of course, its unconventional dial can always end up being rather polarizing, but the new Air-King comes across as being overall like a cohesive offering — not in order to mention a suitable pilot’s view.
Price : $7, 400
GO DEEPER
The baby-blue dial that feels very of-the-moment
No question: the new GMT Master II and Air-King are Rolex’s key announcements from Timepieces & Wonders, but launch weeks like this normally bring welcome extensions in order to existing series with brand new dial colours and the particular like. This particular reference 228236 Day-Date comes in platinum with the “ice-blue” switch.
Is usually reminiscent of a certain american platinum eagle Rolex Daytona , yet it furthermore recalls the particularly warm dial colour of the instant ( Tiffany-dial Patek , anybody? ).
We wouldn’t think that Rolex is jumping on the hype of that view, but it can especially significant because of the time.

This isn’t the Yacht-Master we’d expected
First, Rolex tested the titanium Yacht-Master on Olympic sailor Ben Ainslie this past year. Then, the particular brand hinted at the Yacht-Master in its teaser video last night .
We were carefully hopeful that will Rolex may drop its first titanium watch, yet what all of us got instead was this still lovely Yacht-Master 42 in 18k platnium.
We’re not complaining…
Price : $28, three hundred
