Rolex just revealed a teaser of a new watch coming on April 7th. You can see it on all social media channels and also on https://www.rolex.com/
Looks like an Explorer 2 with ceramic bezel, probably also with a new movement.

From Tudor I guess there will be a Coke GMT. If it comes in the smaller BB58 proportions I would probably go out immediately and put my name on the waiting list, but I don't expect that yet.

Exciting! Looks like the 50th Anniversary EXP with brushed Ceramic bezel. Can’t wait for the 7th to see if it’s 41 like the Sub.

Gonna wear mine all weekend :)

Looks like black ceramic bezel and white dial. It may look too similar to Daytona panda. I definitely prefer black dial. It looks pretty sweet but if if will have orange accents like orange gmt hand it will look too modern for me to really love it. I wonder if they will refine explorer 1.
Vsf better hurry up with clone movement.

If Tudor made a BB58 GMT it would be awesome. If it had a white dial as well, it would be the best thing ever.

That case profile from 00:02 - 00:03 looks extra sleek. It's definitely a sports watch from the crown guards and high crystal.
No pushers, so we know its not a complicated watch.
The crown has a single line, so that means it is a SS/YG TT watch. Strangely though, the crown is not colored. It looks SS.
The scenery of skies, mountains etc hint at an Explorer.
Maxi hands + indices and fliplock claso also indicate a sports model.

What could it be?!

I thought Tudor have said it's going to be a Black Bay Chrono and a Ceramic Pelagos or was that an Aprill's fool?

Hmm ... could also be. I didn't hear anything regarding that.

I really don't see the need to switch over from a steel insert, that's been a USP since it was launced, and distinguishes it from the generic shiny ceramic rolexes, omegas and others. :/

Let's see IRL, but if ceramic it is I guess I'll have the same feeling toward these new Explorers as I had with ceramic bezel Daytonas : far from the strengh of a 116520.

I said something similar in the other topic about this. Having ceramic for every bezel just homogenizes their line up and it loses its personality .

It's getting a ceramic bezel for sure. What a shame, hard to buy the gen without paying a premium and we never had a good rep.

The tudor brand colors are black/red, so the image on the site isn't hinting at a coke GMT necessarily. But a coke GMT in 39mm without fauxtina would be an instant hit. their BB58 line is low-hanging fruit to iterate upon, let's see...
