Rolex Land-Dweller
There’s a reason Rolex remains the biggest attraction at Watches and Wonders year after year. This time, the brand introduces the Rolex Land-Dweller, a significant leap in movement technology. After seven years of development, the timepiece has led to 32 patent applications, 18 of which are exclusive to this model.
Powering the Land-Dweller is Rolex’s entirely new self-winding Caliber 7135, visible through the sapphire case back. The movement introduces several innovations, with 16 patent applications filed, particularly for the escapement and oscillator.
Aesthetically, the Land-Dweller reinterprets the integrated bracelet style, blending contemporary design with vintage inspiration. The steel case, 20% thinner than the Datejust, recalls Rolex’s ref. 1530 and Oysterquartz models from the 1970s. With the Dynapulse escapement—optimized with dual silicon wheels—the Land-Dweller marks Rolex’s bold return to the integrated bracelet sports watch arena.
