Rolex New Crown Design & Diver Strap

[DenisSpa]

Did some patent creeping today and saw some interesting stuff...

Looks like Rolex might have a new crown design in the works and a "comfort" dive strap.

Here is a pic of the "orientation memory crown"

This could prove to be a interesting concept, along with the fact that I dont see any CGs this has got me a little excited for the coming years! :cheese: I doubt the will ever do a no CG submariner again, but ya never know!

Here is a LINK to the patent page.






Here is the "Bracelet with comfort pad"

Seems kinda niffty, supposed to be a rubber strap that gives the diver more comfort when tightening the strap.

ehh, whatever. Im just excited that rolex is thing of new stuff!

And here is a LINK for it.




I guess well see in the coming years if Rolex pulls the trigger on any of this. I would love to see some redesigns or at least a "heritage" collection like Tudor did. I'm just not in love with the ceramic designs.



Here is another LINK for anyone that would like to explore the patents a bit further, enjoy!





I guess well wait and see opcorn:

...Noobfactory, get on it!

Crownguards wasn't shown, they'd obstruct the view of the guts.

when I don't think clearly... I can depend on Luth to point it out!

Thanks G :cheers:.

...that made sense!

Cool Find. Kinda confirms the thread about Crown orientation. It looks like this is a design to make sure the logo is always pointed up.

looks like a design for possibly an inner rotating bezel to be honest

okay now that I read the patent page and saw more diagrams along with explanations...damn, so complicated for a thing that is so meaningless when it comes down to it...but I guess people want their crown's crown to be rightside up :/

if you plan on spending 5k plus on a watch, damn right you gonna pay attention to details.

Sweet find Denis!

Good find there. I always thought they should have done that in first place about crown pointing up always. Kinda like center piece on RR Phantom wheels.

I hope in the future that they will redesign the Sub some. Always loved the Sub but would love to see some changes Maybe in the bezel construction and dial!
Cool find bro! Keep finding this cool stuff that way i don't have to! LOL!!
