New sizes, new finishes, new dial colours, new bracelets, new movements – the brand has made important changes across four of its most celebrated ranges

From new Submariners to a candy-coloured range of new Oyster Perpetuals, we get hands-on with all of Rolex’s 2020 launches. With new references to four of its collections – the Submariner, Oyster Perpetual, Sky-Dweller and Datejust – here’s a guide to help you decide which wait-list to get your name on.

We’re used to seeing this reference with a date function and while that continues to appear in the collection – all resized up to 41mm this year – Rolex has added a new version sans date display.

The bracelet gets an update with larger centre links while under the dial, the Submariner features a new movement, calibre 3230, which powers the hour, minute and second hands.

The watch is presented in a number of colour references including the black dial and matching bezel on the steel version. The Submariner Date reference in two-toned steel and yellow gold reference have a blue dial and bezel while the white gold version sports a black dial with blue bezel.

Rolex brings the Oysterflex bracelet to the Sky-Dweller, complete with its signature Oysterclasp buckle with Rolex Glidelock design. The Glidelock allows micro adjustments of the bracelet, which allows the owner to easily adapt to the different climates and environments in which they wear their timepiece.
