Which watches will be discontinued or updated in 2023?

Of course, at the end of every year, watch lovers ask themselves which models will make it into the following year and which models will be revised or discontinued. Rolex, for example, is a pioneer when it comes to the rumor mill. We present our candidates for fundamental changes in the next year here. Of course, these are only predictions, but we think they are very well founded.

1. Rolex Daytona

We believe that in 2023, not just one Daytona model, but the entire series will be overhauled. The reason for this could be the 60th anniversary of the iconic chronograph. If Rolex were to decide on just one model, the Ref. 116500 would be our tip. The watch with the ceramic bezel has been part of the collection since 2016 and would certainly be a candidate for one of the subtle design revisions that Rolex values ​​so much. Under a slightly larger case, for example, there could be slightly more advanced watch technology, with which lovers of the series would not have to forego anything. The precedent for this was already set with the overhaul of the Submariner. The Geneva brand is always good for surprises. It cannot therefore be said with certainty whether the Daytona series will be updated next year. However, we would still like to take this opportunity to wish you all the best for your anniversary.

2. Rolex Milgauss

The second entry on our list also belongs to Rolex. We think that the Milgauss series will also get an update. This is a reasonable assumption, because the Rolex Air King, whose case is very similar to that of the Milgauss, was already updated this year. It was originally designed as a watch for engineers and scientists, whose chronographs should also work reliably in the vicinity of strong magnetic fields. This special functionality - coupled with the unique Rolex design - can also be seen in the current generation of the watch from 2007. Isn't it time for a little overhaul?

3. Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 Turquoise

The third slot on our list is also occupied by a Rolex. The popular watch with the typical turquoise blue is not one of the most popular models in the series for nothing. We cannot imagine that the earlier models will disappear completely, even though production was discontinued this year. With the Ref. 277200 (31 mm) and the Ref. 126000 (36 mm), Rolex is still releasing two (slightly smaller) models with turquoise dials. Since these models are so popular, we do not assume that Rolex wants to do without them completely.

4. Patek Philippe Nautilus

We just had to say goodbye to the Nautilus Ref. 5711, but Patek Philippe surprised its fans with the new Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5811. The Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph Ref. 5990 also made a comeback in the form of a stainless steel case and blue sunburst dial. Our tip for the next update in the series : The Patek Philippe Nautilus Moonphase Ref. 5712.

5. Omega Seamaster Professional Diver 300M 007 Edition

We don't want to leave this watch unmentioned because it is a special case. The chronograph was originally made for Daniel Craig's last outing as James Bond. We are still excited to see what the brand has planned next. Because: New Bond, new watch.
