The Revolutionary 2020 Rolex Collection That Redefined Watch Design Forever

How a 2020 Rolex Collection Changed the Face of Watch Design

As the company that either invented or popularized the dive watch, the GMT watch, the first water-resistant watch, the first automatic watches, and much more besides, you could hardly downplay Rolex's influence on watchmaking history. But while its iconic sports watches, like the Submariner, Daytona and GMT-Master are endlessly imitated, Rolex is not seen as a trendsetter, preferring to ignore passing horological fashions. It does its own thing, iterating carefully and minimally on its age-old templates.

Five years on, the luxury watch brand's bright idea is still being copied, showcasing its lasting impact on the industry.
