20 Watches You Missed from Omega, Seiko, Casio and More

Serica updates its unique Parade dress watch with a textured linen dial and a crocodile-patterned leather strap.

The highly minimalist, 38-millimeter U2 field watch might be Unimatic’s best overall offering. At the very least, it’s one of the brand’s most iconic watches. This marks the first time ever that Italian stallion has been offered with GMT functionality. It largely retains its signature looks, albeit with a new hand and 24-hour markings around the dial. It also has a reliable automatic movement, a dressier TPU strap and a tough brushed stainless steel case with an antireflective double-domed sapphire crystal.

Frederique Constant updates its rectangular dress watch with a moonphase complication. The Carree retians its beveled applied indices, dauphine hands, guilloché dial center and radial brushed outer section. The date window is gone, replaced with a crescent moonphase window just below the hands. To accommodate the new complication, the case has been substantially enlarged from 30mm wide to 42mm wide. It comes in the customary blue and silver dials.

The lightest watch in Casio’s Pro Trek series, this watch comes with a rotary guard bezel, solar power, Bluetooth syncing and 100 meters of water resistance. But it’s headlining feature is an innovative cord cloth band inspired by outdoor gear that’s just as useful off the wearer’s wrist.

Formex adds a fan-favorite case size to its flagship steel sports watch line, while also bringing along some new tech like a screw-down crown and a new micro-adjustable butterfly clasp.

Hublot’s Classic Fusion collection keeps the design language of its 1980 debut watch alive, and the new Bronze Brown chronograph is one of the collection’s most elegant releases in years. The 45mm integrated sports watch case, topped with exposed H-shaped screws, is made from solid bronze with a heavy brushed finish. It comes on a brown a brown alligator leather strap with a black rubber backing. The bi-compax chronograph, with a small seconds dial at three o’clock and a 30-minute totalizer at nine o’clock, runs on an in-house caliber HUB1143 with a 48-hour power reserve.

Monta gives its classic field watch a thorough overhaul with a bolder new dial, a larger case with crown guards, and a sportier feel overall.

The world’s most advanced time-only watch just went old school. Ulysse Nardin’s Freak S, the wildest version of the brand’s flagship Freak line, which famously has the movement itself stand in for the dial and hands, has a new version that utilizes centuries-old enameling practices. The brand’s in-house enameling workshop has applied gorgeous enamel to the watch’s rotating hour disc, which effectively acts as the dial, and is available in either bright turquoise or ruby red. With the enamel acting as the backdrop for the Freak S’s starship-like flying carousel with its twin silicon oscillators, it’s the ultimate blend of classical and modern watchmaking. Both the turquoise and red versions are limited to 50 pieces each and are priced at $174,400.

Urwerk’s SpaceMeter measures not only time but space as well. Specifically, it tracks the distance of the Earth’s daily rotation and revolution around the sun, a world-first complication.

Bremont follows its limited edition and long-since sold-out bronze Terra Nova Jumping Hour with a regular production steel model. Aside from the metallic shift, the guichet (which means window) design is identical with a jumping hour window at 12 o’clock, a compass-style seconds dial in the center and a scale-style minutes window at six o’clock. The hour indicator shifts within a tenth of a second. It is available on a brown nubuck leather pin-buckle strap or a Y-link steel bracelet.

Seiko goes digital by bringing back this quirky collectors’ favorite from the 1980s. Known as the “Astronaut” due to its one-time popularity with space explorers, the watch has a unique feature where you change modes by rotating the bezel rather than pressing a button.

Blancpain’s Villeret Golden Hour series brings deeper refinement to the watchmaker’s classical calendar-moonphase. This includes a slimmer bezel, larger crown and raised lugs that lie flatter against the wrist. The dial blueprint is largely unchanged, but filled in with more detail, like lume inserts on the hour and minute hands, and domed moon decals with applied gold detailing. The applied 18-karat rose gold Roman numeral hour markers are now sans serif, and the brand’s “B” logo replaces the 12. It is available with an opaline or golden-brown dial, in a stainless steel or 18-karat red gold case, on a blue, honey or brown alligator leather strap.

Back in 1985, a little movie called Back to the Future hit theaters for the first time. In the smash hit flick, the main character, Marty McFly, wears a Casio calculator watch — a version of the very same watch you see here. Now, to celebrate the movie’s 40th anniversary, Casio has unveiled this specially styled version of that iconic timepiece, complete with stylistic details pulled right out of the film’s DeLorean time machine.

Zenith fits its breathtaking Gravity Control module mechanical movement inside a full sapphire case to create what is arguably the brand’s most impressive watch ever.

Kurono Tokyo’s founder and master watchmaker, Hajime Asaoka, marks his 60th birthday with a refined version of the brand’s triple calendar. The updated dial adds depth with a sunken date window, day dial and month dial, along with a guilloché texture in the center. Deep black-coated hands match an onyx cabochon set into the crown. The coin-edge bezel on previous generations is replaced with a rounded concave edge with a mirror polish matching the rest of the case.

Omega’s 2025 update to its Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon lineup includes the striking “Dark Vader,” recognized for its red varnished seconds hand and black ceramic case and dial.

As the Official Timekeeper of the Alpine Cup Series championship, Yema introduces a special edition of the Rallygraf. The 1970s-inspired bicompax racing chronograph is a relatively subtle collaboration, sporting the Alpine logo at six o’clock and the stylized “A” icon as the chronograph seconds hand counterbalance. The 39mm steel case is available with a panda and a reverse panda dial with an SII caliber VK54 meca-quartz movement. A limited edition mechanical version, with blue sub-dials and a blue leather rally strap, is also available, powered by a Sellita caliber SW510 hand-wound movement.

Mido updates its popular TV Big Date sports watch with a new textured dial and a full titanium case and bracelet.

Christopher Ward worked with Worn & Wound to give the C12 Loco a new dial inspired by a Brooklyn landmark found not far from where the watch editorial was founded. The Williamsburg Savings Bank Clock Tower was built between 1927 and 1929, and is notable for housing the world’s largest four-sided clock face until 1962. The tiered dial plates feature raised vertical lines to emulate the tower’s surface, while the hour track is decorated with the same Art Deco pattern as the clock tower. It is a limited edition of 100 pieces, with the first 30 watches being available in person at the New York Windup festival from October 17 to 19, and the remaining stock available from Christopher Ward on October 21.

In early 2025, Timex released a Zenith El Primero look-alike called the Waterbury Chronograph. Now, the brand is further capitalizing on that release with two new additions to its beloved Q lineup. Like the Waterbury before it, these chronos get the same tri-colored subdials, albeit on an altogether more refined timepiece. This one in particular gets a stainles steel link band to match its white dial.
