Rolex 2025 Releases: A New Era of Style and Luxury
Share
Every year, Rolex delivers something special, but 2025 feels different. This isn’t just another update - it’s a game-changer. This year’s lineup is packed with bold new designs, fresh colour combinations, and a completely new model: the Land-Dweller - the first entirely new Rolex range in over a decade.
From the fashion-forward pastel dials of the Oyster Perpetual to the ultra-luxurious Everose GMT-Master II “Tiger” dial, the highly anticipated green GMT-Master II and the refined updates to the Daytona and 1908, Rolex has given us one of the most diverse and exciting collections in recent history.
Let’s break down every new 2025 Rolex model and explore the style, colours and details that make this year so exceptional.
The Land-Dweller: Rolex’s First New Model in Over a Decade
For the first time since the Sky-Dweller debuted in 2012, Rolex has introduced an entirely new collection: the Land-Dweller. Designed for explorers and professionals who spend more time on solid ground than underwater, this watch is a modern take on adventure and luxury combined.
Sizes & Finishes
- Available in 36mm and 40mm.
- Case options: Oystersteel, Everose gold and a premium platinum edition with an ice-blue dial.
The Bracelet: A Rolex First
One of the most talked-about elements of the Land-Dweller is its integrated bracelet, giving it a flowing, seamless design that echoes the refined, high-end aesthetics of the Patek Philippe Nautilus. This is a massive shift for Rolex, bringing a touch of modern elegance to an otherwise rugged tool watch.
Dial Colours
- Black with sunburst finish (available across all metals)
- Deep forest green (exclusive to Oystersteel)
- Warm champagne gold (exclusive to Everose gold models)
- Ice blue with sunburst finish (platinum exclusive)
The Land-Dweller is a statement piece, equally at home on a mountain trail or in a luxury hotel lounge.
GMT-Master II: Two New Releases for 2025
1. The Everose Gold "Tiger" Dial
- Case & Bracelet: Solid Everose gold for a rich, luxurious look.
- Dial: Black and gold "Tiger" stripe pattern, shifting under different lighting conditions for a dynamic, unique appearance.
- Bezel: Black and brown two-tone—a deeper, richer take on the classic Root Beer GMT.
2. The Green & Black Bezel with Green Dial
- Case & Bracelet: Oystersteel with an Oyster or Jubilee bracelet option.
- Dial: Deep racing green—a stunning new colour never before seen on a GMT-Master II.
- Bezel: Half-green, half-black Cerachrom—a bold, modern take on the two-tone bezel trend.
Both GMT models are destined to be collector favourites, balancing bold styling with everyday wearability.
The Daytona: New Designs & the Return of a Collector Favourite
The Cosmograph Daytona continues to be Rolex's signature symbol of precision and performance, but the 2025 release brings exciting new designs that elevate the iconic model to fresh heights. Leading the charge is the introduction of the Oysterflex Racing Strap with Turquoise Dial, a dynamic and vibrant update that brings together sporty functionality and high-end style.
1. Oysterflex Racing Strap with Turquoise Dial
This bold new design introduces a striking turquoise dial, which offers a beautiful blue-green hue that shines under different lighting. The Oysterflex strap, known for its durability and comfort, offers the flexibility of rubber with a luxurious, high-end appearance. This combination creates the perfect balance between performance and style, making this Daytona not just a watch for racing enthusiasts, but a true statement piece.
2. The Return of the "John Mayer" Daytona
For 2025, Rolex is also bringing back the legendary yellow gold Daytona with the green dial, better known as the "John Mayer" Daytona. This model was an instant hit when it debuted and is now back with a refreshed design that’s sure to send collectors into a frenzy.
What sets this updated version apart are the bright gold circles and subdials, which bring a stunning contrast against the vibrant green dial. These changes elevate the model, adding a new level of boldness to an already iconic piece.
The sunburst finish on the green dial continues to catch the light in mesmerizing ways, creating a stunning interplay of colour and shine.
