Rolex Teases a Bold New Sports Watch and a Suite of Surprises

Rolex released a second teaser ahead of Watches and Wonders, showing a blue Cerachrom dive bezel, side chronograph pushers, and a white-gold case on a new sports watch—sparking talk it could be a Yacht-Master II reimagining or a brand-new model—while six other unreleased pieces appear in the video, including a steel Oyster Perpetual, a green-dial Datejust 41, a Day-Date in Everose, a steel Daytona with an open caseback (likely commemorative for the Oyster case’s 100th anniversary), and a fully brushed yellow-gold Rolesor OP; Gear Patrol will have full coverage on April 14 from Geneva.
