Nope, website does not say anything at this point.

dweller as it has been registered

I posted earlier, but I don't think 'Dweller' has the right connotation, at least in English. When I hear about a 'dweller' I think of some one or thing hoveled up in close, dark confines. I think it's a perfect word for the depths of the DSSD. 'Master,' as evidenced in the name of the GMT, is much more appropriate when describing one who resides in the skies. I think of Moby Dick as a dweller of the seas, and the Bald Eagle as master of the skies.

If I had to pick one it will be sky dweller.

Well, Omega has the Seamaster and Speedmaster, and Rolex the GMT-Master and Yacht-Master. It looks like a tie to me!

How about Skywalker? After all, Yoda did say "there is another Skywalker..." .

Sorry, couldn't suppress my inner Star Wars geekness.

Who or what dwells in the sky?

We don't really think of orbital craft as being in the sky so much as being beyond the sky.

If it must be a Sky-Something, Master would be much more realistic, but then who knows what new reality Rolex intends to create or suggest?

Does anyone have any speculation as to what function the Sky-Something will have that will set it apart from the other watches in the line-up?

Will it be a more colorful GMT or a kind of Explorer III or will it be something totally new for the field of horology like the programmable mechanical countdown timer of the YMII?
