Rolex Baselworld 2020 – Predictions for the Watches that Rolex Could Launch in 2020

It’s that time of the year again. Despite the fact that watch fairs are facing multiple threats, Baselworld 2020 is fast approaching and will come with its array of new collections waiting. Without surprises, the most anticipated novelties of the year will again be the new Rolex watches. This also means that it’s time for MONOCHROME to make our yearly predictions. Just like we did in 2014 – 2015 – 2016 – 2017 – 2018 – 2019, we’ve been working hard to guess and design what the Rolex Baselworld 2020 Collection might be like. And here are the watches that we think Rolex could potentially launch at Baselworld 2020.

Introducing – URWERK UR-111C Two-Tone (Live Pics)

URWERK is known for several signature elements, the first being its bold, futuristic design language. The second has to do with the truly unusual, not to say unique way to display the time, thanks to wandering hours and satellites – a concept introduced on the brand’s first watches.

Introducing – Sinn 104 St Sa A B E Limited Edition

This resulted in great, technical-looking watches but also in a certain lack of coolness.

When it was introduced back in March 2019, the MB&F LM FlyingT was positioned by the brand as a women’s watch – in fact, the first watch entirely dedicated to women by MB&F.
