THE LAND- DWELLER
OPENING NEW HORIZONS
Reinventing the present lays foundations for the future. Rolex begins a new chapter in its history with the Oyster Perpetual Land- Dweller. This most contemporary watch represents the culmination of the brand’ s expertise today, fruit of more than a century of experience in watchmaking. The Oyster Perpetual Land-Dweller is designed for those well-grounded men and women who build their own destinies, seeing opportunity in every moment.
Fitted with a bracelet that flows seamlessly from the case and is almost indistinguishable from it, this streamlined watch boasts a revolutionary calibre. Featuring an escapement with an innovative architecture and a new state-ofthe-art oscillator, the movement was designed to beat at the high frequency of 5 Hz and deliver superlative performance in all circumstances. No fewer than 32 patent applications and patents pertain to the Land-Dweller, of which 18 are exclusive to this watch.
Integrating many horological accomplishments, conceived by the far-thinkers who are mapping out the future of watchmaking, the Land-Dweller is the watch of those who, today, are already designing tomorrow’ s world.
INNOVATION IN MOVEMENT
The Land-Dweller is equipped with calibre 7135, entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. This avantgarde, self-winding movement includes major innovations for which 16 patent applications have been filed. Although thinner than the majority of Rolex movements, it nonetheless delivers outstanding performance.
Dynapulse, a revolutionary escapement The most significant innovation in calibre 7135 is the Dynapulse escapement, a ground-breaking alternative to the traditional Swiss lever escapement. In this sequential distribution escapement, for which seven patent applications have been filed, power is transmitted through a rolling motion. A transmission wheel, connected to the barrel, drives two specially designed distribution wheels. These wheels in turn activate an impulse rocker that sustains the oscillations of the balance wheel. Benefiting from an innovative architecture and comprising mainly silicon components, the Dynapulse escapement brings many advantages: its components are very lightweight, it is virtually insensitive to magnetic fields, and it offers substantially greater energy efficiency compared to traditional escapements.
