All the New Rolex 2025 Models
Rolex is usually tight-lipped about their annual releases of new watches, but some years, nerds will find ways to scrape their website and get info ahead of time. 2025 was one of those years for Rolex, and Reddit user Acrobatic_Set5419 was the nerd we had to thank for it. There’s a brand new model called the Land-Dweller, featuring a groundbreaking new escapement, and there’s also a major shakeup of Oyster Perpetual dial colors afoot. There’s also a handful of other new dials across the catalog. Here’s all the new Rolex 2025 releases.
2025 Rolex Land-Dweller
Possibly the biggest luxury watch news of 2025 is the Rolex Land-Dweller and its high-beat caliber 7135 movement (featuring the new Dynapulse escapement, similar to a natural escapement which is usually only on ultra-high-end watches). It’s a brand new model with an integrated bracelet, flat-link Jubilee bracelet, concealed clasp, an an exhibition caseback, somewhat resembling the old Rolex 1630 reference. It looks set to be a smash hit. Because the escapement is so efficient, even though it beats 10 times per second instead of 8, it still has the same 66-hour power reserve as the 1908 Perpetual.
Not everyone loves the laser-etched dial and its “XL fluted motif” design, but it has already been seen on Roger Federer’s wrist and it looks awesome in the sunlight. It’s available in 36mm or 40mm, with prices starting at $13,900.
White Gold Sprite with Green Dial
The new 126729VTNR-0001 model is a white green version of the Rolex Sprite GMT, now with a green ceramic dial. Yes, Rolex’s first ceramic dial. I guess they really wanted to match the green ceramic of the bezel. Badass. It goes for $46,750.
Gold GMT’s with Tiger Iron Dial
The solid rose gold version of the Rolex Root Beer GMT, ref. 126715CHNR, got a new tiger iron stone dial this year. It goes for $49,400. The yellow gold 126718GRNR gets this dial as well, with a list price of $47,500.
2025 Gold Rolex Daytona Dials
New dials have been added to several gold Rolex Daytona models. Meteorite dials return to the white gold and Everose gold Oysterflex versions. The yellow gold bracelet version gets a green dial again (a bit different than the John Mayer though) and the white gold bracelet Daytona gets a blue dial option with red accents again. Chocolate dials also return to both versions of the Everose gold Daytona. I expect all of those to be massively popular, but the most popular one of all might be the new turquoise dial, only offered on the 126518LN (yellow gold Daytona on Oysterflex).
Yellow Gold Sky-Dweller with Green Dial
The Rolex Sky-Dweller lineup only gets one new dial for 2025: a sunburst green dial for the yellow gold model, available on all three bracelets (Jubilee, Oyster, or Oysterflex).
Olive Green Dial for the Rose Gold Rolex Day-Date 36
Rose gold Rolex Day-Date 36 references get the olive green Roman numeral dial option that has been so popular on the Day-Date 40.
New Datejust 31 Dial for 2025: Red Ombre
Solid yellow gold and white gold Datejust 31 models get a new dial option as well. Ruby red is the traditional color of 80th anniversaries, and this was the 80th anniversary of the Datejust, so it makes sense that the Datejust 31 got a rich new red ombre dial. It’s PVD-coated, unlike older more traditional ombre dials.
Yellow Gold 1908 on Settimo Bracelet
The yellow gold Rolex 1908 Perpetual is a nice-looking watch, but it doesn’t seem to get a ton of love from collectors compared to their sports models. The platinum version seems to be get more hype because of its textured ice blue dial, but maybe the new Settimo bracelet will bring some attention to the yellow gold 1908. collection. It looks like a Jubilee but with two extra center links, although its construction is actually much more complex. The watch costs $35,000.
New 2025 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Colors: Beige, Pistachio, Lavender, and a New Blue and Black
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual lineup (which comes in five sizes: 28, 31, 34, 36 and 41mm) got five new lacquered dial colors this year: pistachio, lavender, beige, black, and blue. The lacquered blue and black dials replace the old sunburst “Bright Black” and “Bright Blue” colors. Plus the Candy Pink Rolex is now available in all five sizes.
Although the pink and lavender dials weren’t released in the largest size at first, Rolex released the Oyster Perpetual 41 in Lavender and Candy Pink in the fall of 2025.
Turquoise and green lacquer dials are still only offered in 31mm and 36mm sizes. Other than that, the dial options are streamlined across all sizes now. Silver is the only non-lacquer color left.
Oyster Perpetual 41 Shape Update
For 2025, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 ref. 134300 replaces the outgoing 124300. In addition to the new dial colors, it also has a new shape with slightly slimmer lugs and clasp. Its caliber 3230 movement and overall features are otherwise unchanged. Same Easylink clasp functionality with 5mm of adjustment.
Obsidian Off-Catalog Daytona
With a list price of $438,000, the solid white gold off-catalog ref. 126599 TSA also appeared at Watches & Wonders 2025. Its true market value is probably just over $1 million. The blue sapphire bezel is stunning, but the real star is the incredible obsidian stone dial.
The new Rolex dials and color choices for 2025 are nice, but it seems clear to me that the Land-Dweller will be the most historically significant addition. The improved movement finishing, gold rotor, exhibition caseback, and hidden clasp are all things fans love, but the Dynapulse escapement (15 years in the making) is next-level. Rolex has thrown down the gauntlet in a big way for 2025, but rest assured plenty of haters will still say they “didn’t innovate.” You can ignore those people.
