Rolex Caliber 7135: new indirect impulse escapement and high frequency movement
A major leap forward in movement technology, featuring a new indirect impulse escapement and high frequency movement that confirms the Crown's industrial manufacturing prowess.
It vaults Rolex back into the integrated bracelet sportswatch arena with a movement that achieves a host of technical firsts and marks a great leap forward in its ongoing quest for precision. Dial-wise, the Land-Dweller is a mix of existing Rolex models with a bit of Datejust feel to the dial, albeit with a new honeycomb motif treatment and applied cardinal numerals in the style of the Explorer collection as well as the Cyclops on the crystal to magnify the date. With its unparalleled in-house manufacturing capabilities as well as a research and development budget that is also unmatched, Rolex appears to have solved the direct impulse escapement problem in a different manner, immediately on an industrial scale.
