Both Monochrome Watches and Bob’s Watches believe that Rolex will announce an updated version of the Milgauss. The watch is becoming outdated compared to its counterparts with Monochrome claiming that it has a thick case, lugs, and bezel while also have a very old movement. The more interesting reason, however, has to do with anti-magnetism. Rolex hasn’t kept up with Omega in this respect and if it doesn’t do something soon, Rolex may fall behind. Hence why there is an expectation that Rolex will announce something with anti-magnetism and the Milgauss may be the target (even if they change the name).

In what will certainly get people going is the possibility of a successor to Patek Philippe’s 5711 Nautilus. A lot of Philippe’s references are being discontinued including the Nautilus which is adding fuel to this fire. However, Patek Philippe president, Thierry Stern, told the New York Times that it was time for a hard reset as, “We cannot put a single watch on top of our pyramid.” So who really knows if they bother with this as it doesn’t seem to be their goal to just crank out stainless steel sports watches.

Tudor seem likely to produce a GMT version of the Black Bay 58 or at least the constant buzz on the internet seems to think this is likely but due to Longines releasing an alternative to the Black Bay GMT, it isn’t unlikely either. As well as this, a Tudor “Hulk” Black Bay 58 seems possible as Omega have launched a green Seamaster 300M.

It’s also likely that green dials will be a continued trend as well as smaller cases.

None of this is guaranteed as it’s almost all guesswork. We will find out on the 30 March!
