The Laings Journal
Recognised the world over as a symbol of excellence, elegance and prestige, Rolex presents the latest creations brought to life by its unique watchmaking expertise.
These timepieces take us from the deepest caves to the highest mountain peaks, from the outer reaches of the solar system to isolated polar regions and from ultra-precise technology to exacting artisanal craftsmanship. They are watches that invite you on an adventure – be it geographical, technical or aesthetic.
The Explorer’s New Territories
The dial is often known as the face of the watch. At Rolex, dials shine with spirit and vitality, springing to life as light falls across their surface. The new dials on the Oyster Perpetual Datejust 36 feature a palm motif, inspired by tropical forests, or a fluted motif that incorporates one of the signature aesthetic styles from Rolex.
The Explorer II is heir to the privileged relationship that has long united Rolex and exploration. A technical timepiece that now features a redesigned case and bracelet, the Explorer II brings enhanced visual balance and harmony while remaining true to its aesthetic heritage. On the white lacquer dial, the 24-hour hand retains its characteristic orange hue, combined with standout black lacquer hour, minute and second hands in a matt finish. The new-generation Explorer II is also equipped with calibre 3285, a movement at the forefront of watchmaking technology.
Exclusive Datejust Dials with Unique Designs
At Rolex, dials shine with spirit and vitality, springing to life as light falls across their surface. However, it’s not only the light that brings out the character in the new dials; they are imbued with other sources of unique age-old materials combined with cutting edge technology. The new dials on the Oyster Perpetual Datejust 36 feature a palm motif, inspired by tropical forests, or a fluted motif that incorporates one of the signature aesthetic styles from Rolex.
Born to Race – The Cosmograph Daytona
The Cosmograph Daytona is an icon forever joined in name and function to the world of motor sport. More than 50 years after its creation, it remains in a class of its own among sport chronographs and Rolex now presents three exclusive versions of the benchmark for those with a passion for driving and speed. The new versions of the Cosmograph Daytona are equipped with calibre 4130, a movement at the forefront of watchmaking technology designed to ensure excellence on the wrist. The meteorite dials bear witness to energy that has journeyed through time and space, displaying patterns that were formed as the heart of an asteroid cooled slowly on its journey through the cosmos.
Revealing the Radiance of Diamonds
Diamonds are forever, and come to us from the very distant past. With gemmologists and gem-setters working in harmony, diamonds are selected and set into the bezel, case and bracelet of the Oyster Perpetual Lady-Datejust. Adorned with 1,089 diamonds, this is an exceptional watch whose brilliance and sparkle is perfectly suited to a slender wrist.
