If it is a GMT chrono where the chrono is meant to measure flight time, and the elapsed seconds is not really relevant to measure total flight time, then it may as well be a 2-counter chrono with a big sweeping seconds hand. It would make it look considerably different to the Daytona, and also would make it possible to place a date at 6 hours, maybe even with a cyclops lense. It would look a bit similar to the Tudor Heritage Chrono though. And I guess if they really fuse 3 complications together (date, GMT, chrono), then the case dimensions will be generous (44mm x 15mm at least), just like with the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra GMT.

Now the name sky-Dweller was registered as a TradeMark by Rolex SA of Switzerland on 22-JULY-1996 in Australia.Perhaps now they have just transferred the registration to Rolex USA which is a seperate company from Rolex SA.While anything is possible with Rolex dont build your hopes up for a any watch called the Skydweller yet.

Go to Rolex.com as it looks like the Sky Dweller will be released at Basel.

Don't you think it's too much for a modern Rolex?
Rolex prefers reliability and robustness, rather than the accumulation of complications.
But with them, you never realy know ...

Is Apple releasing something in 2 days?

Hmm, I was hoping for a sooner release of the iPhone 5. I have an iPad and it's just sort of an underwhelming toy for me. Doesn't replace an actual computer and it's no more mobile than my MacBook Air. I went and looked at current 4G LTE phones, my goodness has the Android platform blown Apple's current phone offerings out of the water. Ol' Stevie better have done a mighty fine job on just catching up the 5, or I think they'll really start losing phone customers.

I think it looks more like this hand. Everything looks out of place though? If the number markers are indeed part of a bezel then the GMT hand is coming from the wrong direction. If the number markers are part of a dial then the GMT hand would still be coming from the wrong direction??

My only guess is that its not a hand at all, but a part of the dial that maybe travels around these markers in a circular motion.

On an italian forum, somebody think about an "altimeter indicator" (like a depth gauge, but for altitude)
But I don't think like this...

altimeter, quickset of gmt, calendar, chrono.. maybe all together as it's only 1 detail they show ;-)

burger'n'fries · 6 March 2012, 03:11 AM

maybe two rotating bezels?

can't wait to see it.

A.J.R. · 6 March 2012, 03:15 AM

Don't get me wrong, I prefer Sub-42mm Rolex models. But Rolex already have a 43mm (DSSD) and a 44mm (YM II) watch, so it wouldn't be anything special to have one more 44mm watch in their lineup. Piling up the complications would be odd, of course, since Rolex usually avoid using multiple complications to assure simplicity, ruggedness and reliability. But you never know, they may surprise us...

Rookhawk · 6 March 2012, 03:18 AM

I think the pic is actually the redesigned YM1, as much as I'd love to see a new model under the name "sky-dweller".

00pumpkin · 6 March 2012, 03:18 AM

Im really thinking that a part of the dial rotates. Its the only way...

To me the clouds say Sky-Dweller. But maybe it's just wishful thinking...

Anyone remembers the teasers for DSSD, YM II and DD II? I vaguely remember a sea scenery about the DSSD teaser, so it clearly suggested a diver's watch. In this case the clouds suggest Sky-Dweller, or at least something that has a connection with air and sky...

I think the teaser refers to a watch that has to do with flying as the sky is the back ground. However, Rolex has removed the YM form "THE COLLECTION" list on their website. Only left the smaller sizes under the "WOMEN'S SELECTION."

SKY-MASTER??? Interesting. Like the name better than SKY-DWELLER.

Reliable rumors say that at Basel Rolex will present a DDCP (Day Date Calendar Perpetual) in pink gold, at the remarkable price of about 49 K€ ...
