You could get a very nice Land-Dweller tan by lying underneath that tomorrow 😉

When are they gonna make a Meme-Dweller? I already designed the watch for them as my avatar.

Long ago, in Terrasolum, alongside their vibrant bodies and crystal cities, the Land-Dwellers revered an artifact known as the Solum Chronus—the sacred wristwatch. This luminous object was forged from the deepest layers of Terrasolum's soil and crystal veins. Its face bore no numbers, only shifting runes that whispered the heartbeat of the earth. It was said that the Solum Chronus did not measure time in hours or minutes; instead, it connected its wearer to the very rhythm of the land and guided them in moments of doubt.

The wristwatch was entrusted to the Sentinels of the Roots, who guarded it as the holiest symbol of Terrasolum's laws. Legend spoke that the Solum Chronus could only be worn by one destined to unite the earth and sky—a prophecy whispered by elders but feared for its implications.
When Kael found the luminous wings in the roots of the crystal tree, he also discovered the Solum Chronus buried beneath them. As he held it, the runes glowed with a vibrant cobalt hue, mirroring the curious dual colors of his body. A voice seemed to echo from the watch, urging him to place it on his wrist. When he did, Kael felt the pulse of Terrasolum, the sorrow of its isolation, and the longing of the sky to reunite with its kin.

The Sentinels of the Roots, seeing Kael adorned with both the wings and the sacred wristwatch, were struck by fear and fury. "The Solum Chronus does not belong to you!" they roared. But as Kael spoke, the runes began to glow brighter, their rhythms synchronizing with his every word.
"The Solum Chronus is the key, not the barrier," Kael declared. "It does not bind us to the earth alone—it reveals the harmony we were always meant to embrace."

When Kael leapt into the skies, the Solum Chronus radiated light, sending waves of energy through Terrasolum. The floating islands began to drift closer, their waterfalls cascading into the earth's embrace. In the generations that followed, the wristwatch became a symbol of unity, worn by leaders who bridged the realms of earth and sky, reminding all of Kael's courage and the truth he revealed.

And they all lived happily ever after.

………….Rolex………………Omega……….
Land Dweller - yuck. Last decent design they had was the Kermit back in 2003. I love watch design but I don’t find a single watch they make now appealing at all.
Modern Rolex designs are so bad that people thought this was an April fools joke, let that sink in.
There’s always one in every Rolex thread. Doesn’t matter what the topic is.

The designs from the 50s 60s 70s were the best ever. What they offer now doesn’t compare at all to the level of creativity they had back then. But hey some people might prefer Taylor Swift to The Beatles, to each their own.
As expected. Zero substance. Just generalization and regurgitation. Like I said, there’s one of you in every Rolex thread.

There's usually more than one. Haters are going to hate.

Put them on Yuja Wang and Roger Federer and they look great.

That movement looks like a significant change. It's like a technological leap.

It is very impressive, I hope it pushed Omega to further improve and importantly to get thinner, as they don’t currently have any movement that could compete in this space.

All those noting the odd name.

About 2 years ago they copyrighted Land Dweller as well as Coast Dweller…

Well, well, well.

It seems a great calibre. Bravo rolex.

With that caseback I think the 36 version will be a better purchase. A good point is the scale of the rehaut. I like the oyster case, bezel and bracelet. I don't like the dial.

Honestly, an accuracy close to absolute zero was what I was expecting for this calibre. My mind is set on the ufa from seiko.

Agree.

Also expect that no parts will be available outside of Rolex service centers. You or I could probably get our cal 7135 serviced 20 years from now, but wouldn't hold out a lot of hope for whomever we pass it down to 40 years from now.

I had dinner with a friend who is a watchmaker in his 80s. After talking some about watches, he made the interesting comment that in 50 years there will be 100 year old watches still working but no more 50 year old watches. Meaning, the movements today aren't meant to be repaired, they are meant to be tossed out and replaced with new movements.

Seems a little alarmist. As long as the brands train independent watchmakers in how to service these movements (Which Omega does for the co-axial) there's no reason to think they can't be repaired over a lifetime.

Parts availability may become a problem 50 years on but isn't that already true of 50 year old watches now to some degree?

I'd be curious what @Archer thinks about modern movement longevity.

I like the overall look and a thinner watch is great. But when I look at the dial, I can’t unsee these horrible looking 6 and 9 numbers. They really ruin the dial aesthetics IMO.

I love the idea of the movement, and I honestly want to know more about it.


But in a lot of ways I find this release completely baffling. It does a TON of different things all at once, and seems to combine many different aspects of other Rolex watches and very clearly takes ideas from other manufacturers. This is the exact same thing that Omega (often) gets accused of doing.

I think what will be interesting to see is whether or not this causes an increase in (the already popular) Tissot PRX sales, because the comparison is inevitable and that comparison seems to be the burble on several watch forums.

Jury's out for me at the moment. I'll never like the name and I'm not sure I'll ever like the 6-9 dial, but i could grow to like the rest.

I’m not gonna hate on Rolex just to hate. I dig the concept of the watch and implementing the integrated jubilee bracelet. My two cents into the ether, ditch the applied 6 & 9 and offer a more elegant patterned dial.

I did the exhibition case back though.
