Czapek Time Jumper

Czapek celebrates ten years since its rebirth with this wild spaceship of a watch. Its saucer-shaped case features a guillochéd exterior with two windows: one magnified in the center showing the jumping hour display in 24-hour format, the other at 6:00 showing the trailing minutes track. A button at 6:00 flips up the lid covering the dial, showcasing the in-house Cal. 10.1 movement in all its glory.

Blue Timex wristwatch with nylon strap and white hour, minute, and second hands on a blue dial.Timex

Timex Camper 34mm

Available in Japan, the Camper 34mm is a faithful tribute to Timex’s storied watch born from the model it made for the US military in the 1980s. Powered by a quartz movement, it comes in three colors: black, olive green and, for the first time since 2012, navy blue.
Blue Hublot wristwatch with a rubber strap and a skeleton dial showing internal gears.Hublot

Hublot Big Bang Unico Blue Ceramic Caribbean

G-Shock G-Steel GM2110D-3A1

G-Shock expands on its fan-favorite metal bezel GA2100 watch with a couple of new versions — one with a dark green dial (seen here) and another with a gunmetal gray dial. Apart from the color difference, both watches maintain the series’ signature octagonal shape, analog-digital format, updated integrated sporty band and more.
Silver Timex wristwatch with blue and white dial and gray fabric strap on a dark brown surface.Worn & Wound

Timex x Worn & Wound Field Watch w/a Twist

Rectangular silver Chronoswiss watch with a copper-toned dial, digital hour and minute windows, and a black leather strap.Chronoswiss

Chronoswiss Neo Digiteur

The Digiteur was an unexpected callback to a long-lost design when Chronoswiss debuted it in 2005, but twenty years later, jumping hour guichet watches are having a moment. This time around, the Art Deco-inspired case skipped the precious metals in favor of a more affordable — but still five-figure — steel build. The 30mm wide by 48mm long case comes with a glittering gold-toned, sandblasted dial face or an anthracite dial face with a satin, vertical brushed finish. It runs on the in-house caliber C.85757 hand-wound movement with a 48-hour power reserve.
Silver Unimatic wristwatch with beige suede strap and cream dial featuring black and orange hands.Todd Snyder

Todd Snyder x Unimatic Modello Quattro U4 GMT

Todd Snyder and Unimatic renew a fruitful partnership with a suave, minimalist take on the Modello Quattro GMT. One option has a creamy off-white dial, a brushed steel case and a tan suede strap. The other is all black — the dial, case and strap. Both models feature Unimatic’s signature handset, with an added orange-tipped GMT hand that indicates a 24-hour scale positioned along the outer rim of the dial. It runs on a Seiko caliber NH34A automatic movement with a 41-hour power reserve. The all black is limited to 150 units and the cream dial is limited to 250 units.
Rose gold Breitling chronograph watch with blue dial and brown leather strap worn on a wrist.Breitling

Breitling Premier B21 Chronograph Tourbillon 42 North American Limited Edition

Breitling unveils a special version of its tourbillon-equipped Premier Chronograph with a solid 18k red gold case that’s exclusive to the American and Canadian markets. In addition to the precious metal case, the dial color is also new: a deep blue gradient with a matching 60-minute chronograph register at 6:00. At 12:00 sits the tourbillon and its 18k red gold bridge, while a matching rotor is visible through the sapphire caseback. The piece is limited to just 75 examples, priced fittingly at $75,000.

Roger Dubuis Hommage La Placide

Two black rugged wristwatches with textured straps, one navy blue and one black, placed on mossy rocks.Luminox

Luminox x ICE-SAR 1080 Series

Luminox has long had a partnership with Icelandic Search and Rescue teams, and that’s slated to continue with this collection of ultra-tough timepieces. Designed to commemorate the year 874 AD, when the first settlers arrived in Iceland, the watches feature reliable Swiss-made Quartz movements, ultralight and ultra-tough Carbonox cases, 25-year lume (including the ICE-SAR logo on the dial) and much more.
Digital Casio watch with textured silver metal bezel and black resin strap.G-Shock

G-Shock 5600 Series GM-5600M-1JF

With a seemingly small collection of design tweaks, G-Shock may have just dropped its next must-have classic take on its original flagship watch. This timepiece still has everything there is to love about a 5600 — the iconic case shape, unbeatable shock resistance, a metal and resin construction and so on — but it also gets an eye-catching industrial design-inspired bezel (with a matching bio-resin strap, to boot). Available with either a black or silver case, this watch is sure to be a big hit among G-Shock fanatics.
Silver stainless steel wristwatch with black dial, two subdials, and orange accents on a brown background.Peren

Peren One Chrono

This retro-modern masterpiece follows up the minimalist Regia diver from this young Transylvanian microbrand. The Peren One is reminiscent of 1970s integrated sports watches, yet looks decidedly futuristic with its minimalist dial and industrial feel. It’s plenty capable, too, with a surprising 200m of water resistance, a Seiko-made meca-quartz chronograph engine, a sapphire crystal and indices made from solid blocks of ceramic Super-LumiNova. Best of all, the watch is crazy affordable, with a preorder price of just CHF 569 (~$713).
Round silver Benrus wristwatch with black numerals, beige fabric strap, and luminous hands and markers.Benrus

Benrus DTU Shield

Benrus adds a touch of refinement to the DTU field watch, notably issued by the US Army during the Vietnam War, by stripping the black dial lacquer in favor of a vertical brushed finish. It enhances legibility through a strong contrast with the black dial markers and creates a glimmering finish better suited for daily wear. The 38mm sandblasted case houses an ETA caliber 2892 automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve, and comes on a two-piece woven nylon pin-buckle strap.
Silver Nivada Antarctic Glacier automatic watch with black perforated leather strap and date window.Nivada

Nivada Grenchen Antarctic Glacier Vintage

Nivada Grenchen utilized newly discovered dead-stock dials and ETA caliber 2783 automatic movements to recreate a 1970s version of its signature watch, the Antarctic. Only 18 pieces are available due to the limited number of dials that have been uncovered. However, a regular production replica collection is debuting simultaneously in the original 35mm case size with a hand-wound movement, along with a 38mm update with an automatic movement.

Awake Son Mài Fragments

French indie brand Awake follows up on its first permanent collection, the Son Mài, with this even more stunning version of the everyday watch. While the Son Mài combined traditional Vietnamese lacquer with silver leaf, the Son Mài Fragments collection swaps the silver for pieces of mother-of-pearl arranged in a mosaic pattern using the Japanese art of raden. The watches are priced at € 2,700 (~$3,131).
Silver metal watch with textured dark blue dial, white hour markers, and black rubber strap.Straum

Straum Jan Mayen Titanium Stormy Seas

A collaboration with podcast The Real Time Show, this version of Straum’s killer titanium sports watch features a gray-blue dial inspired by a Force 9 gale and a fluorescent seconds hand that draws its color from orange survival suits.

Bamford London Mayfair 2.0

Bamford’s new quartz chronograph offers the appearance of eight watches in one, thanks to four interchangeable case shells and two straps. It comes in four different sets, each with four case colors, a chevron-textured recycled textile two-piece strap, and a rubber pin-buckle strap. The watch is powered by a Ronda caliber 3540.D quartz movement, featuring a slip-second chronograph with a 1/10-second counter at 12 o’clock and a 30-minute totalizer at 9 o’clock.
Stainless steel diver's watch with blue dial, blue bezel, and orange GMT hand on metal bracelet.Jack Mason

Jack Mason Strat-O-Timer Titanium Diver GMT

Jack Mason upgrades its much-loved Strat-O-Timer GMT with a titanium case and seven-link bracelet. Most specs match the original, like a Miyota caliber 9075 automatic movement with a “flyer” GMT complication, blue-glowing Super-LumiNova and baton hands and indices. The dial is slightly different, with the GMT track relocated from the ceramic bezel insert to the hours track, and the large arrow GMT hand is now a skeletonized baton. It comes with an additional black FMK rubber tropical pin-buckle strap.
