Rolex Sky-DwellerWhile SIHH is about to start, the watch industry is also getting ready for Baselworld. Every year, as soon as the doors of the exhibition open, there is a run (literally) on the Rolex booth to see what’s new from Geneva’s luxury-watch giant. Here’s a look back at some of the recent Baselworld Rolex introductions.
Although I’ve noticed only small — but innovative — changes at Rolex over the last few decades, I’ve also realized that, during the last few years, Rolex seems to be making more changes than in the decades before. These include the use of ceramics, the new bracelets with Easylink and Glidelock systems, a countdown chronograph complication (in the Yacht-Master II), an annual calendar (the Sky-Dweller), Everose gold, the Parachrom hairspring, new case sizes, et cetera. True, there are brands with many more innovations and complications in that period, but for Rolex, this is more than what they did in the 1980s and 1990s.
Whether you are a fan of Rolex or a “hater,” you’ve got to admit that its watches always seem to fit comfortably on any wrist, perform well, and — compared to a lot of other brands — are not even that expensive, considering what you get (an indestructible timepiece). Whether Rolex watches are as “interesting” as those from some other brands is a separate question that everyone must answer for him or herself. Unfortunately, I suspect that many people still buy a Rolex simply because other people will recognize it.
In any case, this week, we look back at some of the recent Rolex watch introductions from the past few Baselworld fairs. Here we go:
