Rolex has just revealed a collection of six new watches at theWatches and Wonders 2024showcase in Geneva, Switzerland.
The Crown’s latest timepieces include additions to its Day-Date, Deepsea, Daytona, Sky-Dweller, GMT-Master II and Perpetual 1908 collections. And, while none of the new watches quite have the shock-and-awe of thefrankly mad Day-Date ‘Puzzle Dial’from last year’s show, there’s still plenty to get excited about.

Rolex’s new GMT doesn’t have the boldness of the blue-and-red Pepsi dial, or the rumoured black-and-red ‘Coke dial’ some were expecting (althoughTudor may have got it instead), but it’s still a conventionally attractive timepiece. Although it looks to be one colour at a glance, the scratch-proof ceramic bezel is actually black for the nighttime half of its 24-hour scale and grey for the daytime.
These muted shades are matched to a black dial with white hour markers and a green GMT hand, which can be used to keep track of GMT or any time zone you like – a great feature for frequent flyers who want to know what time it is back home, or at the office.

Rolex also used Watches and Wonders to reveal a new Day-Date with rose gold case and blue-green dial decorated with baguette-style diamond hour markers and a diamond-encrusted bezel.

The Perpetual 1908 was an all-new watch from Rolex when it was presented at Watches and wonders in 2023. For 2024 the model has received a new ice blue dial with a guilloché ‘rice-grain’ motif. It’s a finish Rolex says produces “a variety of reflections with every movement of the wrist.” In a world where so many watches look broadly the same, I think this timepiece truly stands out from the crowd.

We’re into the second half now and it’s time for a splash of gold. Or rather, an entire tidal wave of the stuff. You might think this is a revival of the blue-and-gold Submariner, but it’s actually the even bigger (and even more capable) Deepsea.
Certainly not one for the shrinking violets among you, this is a solid 18ct gold watch with a huge 44 mm case, a matching bracelet and a titanium case back. It’s big, it’s brash and it’ll no doubt be heavy on the wrist – but if you can pull off a watch like this, then more credit to you.
Being a Deepsea, this watch can go far, far deeper than yourcommon-or-garden diver’s watch. In fact, it’s certified to depths of 3,900 metres (not a typo), and features Rolex’s Ringlock system and compression ring, which work to ensure the watch survives the pressures of deep-sea diving. There’s also a helium escape valve, allowing pressure to escape from the watch while the wear decompresses in an hyperbaric chamber.
Rolex has previously said how its Deep-sea watches can withstand the equivalent of four tonnes of weight on the 5.5 mm-thick sapphire crystal and five tonnes on the case back. The price is CHF 49,900 (£43,500).

Two new additions to the iconic Daytona family arrived at Watches and Wonders this week. Both feature mother-of-pearl dials with eight diamonds, plus a bezel set with a further 36 diamonds. One model is presented on an Oyster bracelet and has a black-mother-of-pearls dial with white mother-of-peak sub dials, while the other comes in a black rubber strap and has a dial with the inverse – a background of white mother-of-pearl with black sub dials.
