The Rolex Dynapulse is a revolutionary escapement system introduced in 2025, designed to improve precision and reduce friction by utilizing a silicon-based, dual impulse mechanism that departs from the traditional Swiss lever escapement.
The Rolex Dynapulse is a revolutionary escapement system introduced in 2025, marking a significant advancement in watchmaking technology. Unlike traditional Swiss lever escapements, the Dynapulse escapement is a high-frequency, high-efficiency mechanism that operates at 5Hz, enhancing accuracy without increasing energy consumption. It features a double-wheel, indirect-tangential impulse design, primarily constructed from silicon, which allows for a compact and efficient structure. This escapement is protected by seven patents and is noted for its innovative use of silicon components, which reduce friction and eliminate the need for lubrication. The Dynapulse escapement's unique geometry, including wheels with only six teeth, minimizes centrifugal forces and enhances the escapement's efficiency. This design allows the movement to maintain a power reserve of approximately 66 hours, similar to the Chronergy escapement but with improved performance. The introduction of the Dynapulse escapement underscores Rolex's commitment to pushing the boundaries of horological innovation, offering a blend of traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology.
