Rolex

Amid the splendor and prestige of the 96th Academy Awards, hosted at the iconic Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, a new watch was discreetly added to the Rolex Day Date collection. The Oscars, renowned for their grandeur, never fail to deliver a spectacle of epic proportions, and this year was no different, with a lineup of films that captivated audiences worldwide (Oppenheimer, anyone?) as well as a slew of high-end watches.

A new Rolex Day Date just dropped…quietly

Rolex Academy Awards Green Room

Hidden within the exclusive confines of the Rolex Greenroom, reserved for the privileged winners of Academy Awards, lies a solitary showcase set side just for Rolex watches. Tucked away at the far end of the spacious chamber, embedded within the rear wall, this display holds the only Rolex timepiece in the entire lounge.

Amidst the glitz and glamor of the ceremony, the watch made its debut without fanfare. Its presence was merely hinted at in a press release related to the Greenroom, and it briefly appeared in Rolex’s prestigious television spot—an annual homage to cinematic legends who have sported Rolex watches throughout history.

Despite its understated introduction, this timepiece holds significant value. While not as groundbreaking as the iconic GMT-Master II variants, its rarity within Rolex’s selective release cycle is noteworthy. Featuring the Day-Date 40 in luxurious 18-karat Everose gold, Rolex’s signature take on the rosy metal, it boasts a captivating slate ombré dial that transitions gracefully from darkness to light.

Adorned with applied Roman numerals and free of embellishments like a railroad minute track or diamond indices, its design deviates from the norm a bit. This enigmatic creation adds a new dimension to Rolex’s legacy of innovation, following in the footsteps of past surprises like the Vienna Philharmonic Day-Date. Delving into the Rolex website yields you nothing but a landing page for the soft-launched watch: the 2024 Academy Awards Rolex Day Date.

One image offers a glimpse of the elusive timepiece, devoid of the expected fanfare. Stripped of official acknowledgment or technical details, enthusiasts must rely on visual cues alone to decipher it.

Affectionately known as the “President” among enthusiasts, the Rolex Day Date epitomizes exclusivity, catering to wealthy clientele. Since its inception in 1956, this timepiece, crafted exclusively in precious metals, has remained a symbol of refined taste and sophistication, with its distinctive dial layout showcasing both the full date and a traditional date window at 3 o’clock.

Reminiscent of the white dial Speedmaster that graced Daniel Craig’s wrist in the streets of New York, this new Rolex watch may remain a mystery for months to come in the world of watches for men. As the dust settles on the 2024 Academy Awards, anticipation mounts for what we can expect from Rolex in the future.

Patek Philippe on wrist

The watch world is rich with history. With brands like Rolex, Omega, and Tudor coming out of Switzerland, it is easy to forget that they all owe a little part of their success to the father brand of all wristwatches, Patek Philippe. Since they created the first Swiss wristwatch for Countess Koscowicz of Hungary in 1868, they have innovated and led the way to create a massive watch industry that chronophiles love.

This year, at Watches and Wonders, they showed again that they are the best in the business by providing a whole slate of timepieces for us to ogle for the coming year. Here are all the watches Patek Philippe dropped in Geneva that you need to know about.

The newest addition to the Hublot MP-11 collection is a formidable presence, measuring a whopping 45mm in diameter and 14.4mm in thickness, so you'll need some major confidence if you want to sport this beast on your wrist. The inaugural Sapphire Big Bang was introduced in 2016 and since then the brand has delighted fans with an array of color iterations, from other sapphire colors to purple and orange. Now, Glacier Blue has been introduced, just in time to keep you cool this summer (in attitude, not temperature, unfortunately.)
Hublot: The Big Bang MP-11 in Glacier Blue

This Big Bang MP-11 features a 14-day power reserve, which is achieved through seven series-coupled barrels arranged in a horizontal configuration, and all of that can be viewed by the wearer. The truly vibrant Glacier Blue (seriously, the blue is so bright you'll feel like you're about to start seeing your breath) is made with a fresh chemical composition but still shares the same properties as sapphire: luminous, and able to withstand scratches.
Technical specifications
This Hublot watch will leave you completely mesmerized for several hours before you even think about the technical specifications, though there are some exceptional details to go over. Inside this MP-11 is the HUB9011 Manufacture manual-winding skeleton power reserve movement. As we mentioned above, there are seven series-coupled barrels, but they've been arranged in a coaxial and vertical configuration so the watch is able to maintain a super slim profile of just 10.9mm. All tied together like a bow on top is the blue transparent structured rubber strap with a titanium deployant buckle clasp.

Doxa introduces smaller version of Sub 300
Doxa Sub 200T series

Doxa watches aren't exactly the word on the tip of anyone's tongue when they think of their favorite brands; however, they have developed their own community, and some might dub them a cult following. The brand recently unveiled its latest Doxa watch, the Sub 200T which has sent a lightning strike through the hearts of fans, as it's unmistakably more compact than the iconic 300T and 600T models. The lack of smaller options has always been a common complaint among fans of the brand, and with consumer behavior veering more and more in this direction, it's no surprise that the latest iteration is just 39mm. The iconic design of the Classic 300 has been shrunk down to something more compact, sleek, and contemporary.
The new Doxa Sub 200T has a color for every taste

On top of that, the kaleidoscope of color options available from Doxa watches will surely satisfy every taste, from those who like bright and sporty models to those who prefer something a little more classic and subdued. The dial features a sunray-finished design with a luminous sunburst effect, and it comes with two strap options: a stainless steel bracelet with a "beads of rice" design and an FKM rubber strap that comes with folding clasps and ratcheting wetsuit extensions.
