The new watch is a testament to over a century of Rolex’s horological mastery
Meet the Land-Dweller, a new Rolex watch with a refined Oyster case, fluted bezel, honeycomb dial, and integrated Flat Jubilee bracelet. The bracelet and case’s polished and satin finishes accentuate the interplay of shapes and volumes, while bevelled edges and polished chamfers create the illusion of a continuous ribbon of light.
The new Land-Dweller collection features three distinct models. There is the 40mm white Rolesor version with a fluted bezel and an intense white honeycomb-patterned dial. The 36mm 18k Everose gold is enhanced with 10 baguette diamond hour markers and a bezel set with 44 trapeze-cut diamonds. Last but not least, the 40mm platinum with a signature ice-blue honeycomb dial, exclusively reserved for this noble metal.
The dial’s honeycomb pattern is cut with a femtosecond laser, which is also used to etch the delicate lines in the grooves between each cell.

The Flat Jubilee bracelet, a reinterpretation of the Jubilee bracelet, retains the same five-piece link structure but is different in that all the links are flat. A patented attachment system has been developed for the seamless integration of the Flat Jubilee bracelet with the Oyster case, incorporating ceramic inserts for the first time to protect the spring bar and prevent premature wear.

The heartbeat is calibre 7135, which is thinner than most Rolex movements but offers an exceptional performance. Its biggest distinction, however, is the Dynapulse escapement in silicon that improves energy delivery.
The regulating system showcases exceptional resistance to strong magnetic fields. At its core, the oscillator features a balance staff crafted from a patented high-technology ceramic. This strong and resilient material is produced in-house using femtosecond laser ablation, a proprietary process currently under patent application.

Complementing this innovation, the balance wheel is made from optimised brass—an alloy used by Rolex for the first time—offering another layer of magnetic resistance. The movement also incorporates a Syloxi hairspring with reshaped, thickened coils, providing greater rigidity and reinforcing the power of the patented silicon hairspring, which enables the calibre to beat at 5 Hz and maintain superior chronometric precision regardless of the wearer’s movements.
Two optimised Paraflex shock absorbers protect the ceramic balance staff. Positioned at both ends of the staff, these shock absorbers feature an enhanced leaf spring that guarantees optimal repositioning after impact.
With 32 patent applications, the Land-Dweller represents a significant milestone for Rolex, setting the stage for future innovation.
