Rolex enthusiasts are buzzing with excitement as the brand releases a teaser video hinting at its 2025 lineup. While the video offers glimpses of potential new models, it also leaves plenty of room for speculation. Here’s what we’ve gathered so far. 
Celebrating the Explorer’s 70th Anniversary, the teaser prominently features rugged mountainous imagery and a watch with an Explorer (I) dial, though with a notable twist: chamfered lugs. This is a departure from Rolex’s usual case design and may indicate a major update to the Explorer collection. While the line last saw a significant redesign in 2025, reducing the case size back to 36mm, a new case design with potential size changes could be on the horizon.
Material-wise, the Explorer might stay traditional with steel, though some are speculating about a more exotic option like titanium. It seems unlikely, but not impossible – after all, a titanium case would be a fresh addition to the Explorer line.
The replica Rolex Yachtmaster also makes a brief appearance in the video, with clear imagery of the distinctive Cerachrom (ceramic) bezel and raised markers. A new bracelet combination – likely featuring a metal bracelet with the ceramic bezel – points to a design shift. The big question is the material: Could this be the much-anticipated titanium Yachtmaster that fans have been waiting for? Rolex introduced a titanium model in 2025, but it hasn’t made its way into the Yachtmaster collection yet. While it’s tempting to dream, the new model could just be another steel and platinum combination, though it would be exciting to see titanium in action.
There’s also a glimpse of a GMT bezel at around 0:12 in the video, suggesting a new GMT Master II variant. With gold hands, indices, and bezel markers, this could be a full-gold or two-tone steel and gold model, complete with a black dial and a red or orange GMT hand. 
An orange dial suggests something like a Datejust or Day-Date, and the blue dial could be part of the Oyster Perpetual or Datejust lines. A brief flash of a Cellini suggests there might be something new in the works for Rolex’s elegant dress watch collection. Finally, an ice-blue dial – likely hinting at a Daytona model – celebrates the chronograph’s 60th anniversary, with the color suggesting a platinum release. Rolex’s teasers raise more questions than answers, but the 2025 collection looks to be full of surprises and new innovations. Stay tuned as we await the official release.
