The watch is powered by the Rolex Calibre 7190, which is an all-new automatic movement from Rolex. It’s also arguably the most advanced movement we’ve seen from the brand yet.
The jumping annual calendar alone already puts the calibre in the conversation, but what really puts the 7190 over the top is the movement’s Dynapulse escapement. This is just the second Rolex movement to feature the watchmaker’s highly advanced high-beat escapement, and the first outside of a Land-Dweller, where it made its debut in 2025.
The Dynapulse escapement replaces the traditional Swiss lever escapement used in almost every other mechanical watch with a frictionless system of wheels and a rocker made entirely of silicon. It beats at 5Hz, which is two times more per second than other Rolex movements. It also requires no lubrication, is highly resistant to magnetism and shocks, is more efficient and, theoretically, more precise. (For more on how it works, go here.)
For the Calibre 7190, Rolex adds a new patented annual calendar system called Haplos, which is deceptively simple in that it uses just two parts to differentiate between months with 30 and 31 days: an annual lever and an additional carrier finger, both coupled to the date complication.
