My 3 Favourite Releases from Rolex at BaselWorld 2014

Rolex took off the covers for their 2014 models at BaselWorld yesterday.

Their teaser video  as we found out was more aimed at the Cellini collection.

In the Oyster collection there were some pleasant surprises.

First up is the GMT Master II with Blue/Red Ceramic Bezel.

The old Bakelite and Metal insert  "Pepsi" modes are Rolex classics.  Its nice to see the Pepsi insert back in Ceramic form.  Although the watch was released in White Gold, which will put it out of reach for most, a Stainless Steel version should come next year.





The Sea Dweller makes a welcome return in a 40mm stainless steel case. Its bigger brother the Deep Sea in my opinion is like a hockey puck and too chunky.  The Sea Dweller for 2014 gets a ceramic bezel and its clasp is upgraded to the awesome Glidelock Clasp system.  Also the bezel now features full 60 minute marks.


Lastly is the Milgauss GV.  The green glassed version is the most attractive to the writers eye, although when I first saw the picture of the new blue dial, at first I didnt like it at all.  After a bit more mulling the colour has grown on me.  It has all white markers compared to the black dialed GV version which had orange markers at 3, 6 and 9 o' clock.
