Rolex Sky-Dweller 

Perhaps one of the biggest shocks so far of Baselworld 2017 is the introduction of the Rolex Sky-Dweller in Stainless Steel and 18ct Gold and Stainless Steel with 18ct White Gold Bezel. In a move that has taken a lot of people by suprise, Rolex have introduced a watch at a price point that is sure to be a huge success.

Rolex Daytona Ceramic

The new Ceramic Bezel Daytonas in 18ct Yellow Gold and 18ct White Gold released at Baselworld 2017 were not much of a suprise as most believed it was only a matter of time until they entered the fray.

With the introduction of the 18ct Rose Gold (116515) version, there was demand for the other models to follow suit as to some it made little sense to have only one strap model with Ceramic bezel. It then seemed like it was imminent when the Strap versions of the Yellow and White were discontinued last year with very few orders being accepted.

Rolex Sea-Dweller 50th Anniversary

We all knew that something was due for the Sea-Dweller with it being the 50th Anniversary this year and speculation was rife as to what we were to expect to be announced. We have seen images of and heard mention about possible editions that Rolex just might release as part of their celebration of this watch. From a solid 18ct White Gold model so utilising the existing form and adding a faded Anniversary Green to black akin to that of the D-Blue Deepsea.

Yesterday Rolex put us all out of our misery and confirmed even what some had miraculously predicted would materialise. What we now have on offer is an absolutely deliscious time piece that we just cannot wait to see in the flesh.

Well that's it, we are now officially embroiled in a manic few hours of waiting for some of the World's largest watch brands to announce what models they have for us in store this year.

Pushing the Boundaries

Part of Human Nature is to push things as far as we can possibly beyond our own understanding, curiosity will never get the better of us and it would seem Panerai are no exception to that rule. 

It has almost become part of the ritual every January not only to see what new models Panerai will be releasing but also what new technology will be introduced to the world. This year has seen the further development of the Carbotech material we saw last year, with a few slight tweaks here and there and have now been brought the LAB-ID PAM00700 before us.
