Rolex teased for its 1st of April "Watches & Wonders 2025" presentation -- "Building Tomorrow, Here and Now" -- and it seems like the news is not in the OysterQuartz-looking edgy case-shape but inside: quite sure it is related to quartz, yes. The pendulum / balance is a nice reminiscence but not really tomorrow.

Quartz controlled, yes but not with a battery and overall: Quartz2.0. Kybernetik, Plus Ultra.

Ad 2025-04-02: Well, the Rolex-presented LandDweller is indeed an innovative watch, and beautiful on top. Not as innovative as I assumed (and hoped) but it is said thats a important step -- I will have a look into it, when time allows. And the design: significantly thinner than the OysterQuartz but with a similar timeless edgy case; simply cubitussed. So, it will for sure become a success. But like the ref1530, which pre-dated the OysterQuartz in the mid-1970s and was a mechanical placeholder in the same innovative angular case, the LandDweller might be a mechanical placeholder for something more future-proof. Lets see.
