Casio Pro Trek x White Mountaineering PRW-B1000WM-1
Casio collabs with outdoor-inspired Japanese streetwear brand White Mountaineering on this extra-tough version of the Pro Trek PRW-B1000. The blacked-out watch features White Mountaineering’s triangle pattern on the dial and bezel, but more significantly, replaces the G-Shock-like watch’s rubber band with a rugged titanium bracelet.
Timex Waterbury Heritage Chronograph (on Leather Strap)
The Waterbury Heritage Chronograph captures the spirit of 1970s racing watches with a modern twist. This 39mm timepiece features a stainless steel case, black dial with contrasting subdials, and gold-toned hands. A black tachymeter bezel adds authentic motorsport functionality. The three-row perforated leather racing strap provides both vintage aesthetics and modern comfort. With chronograph functionality and water resistance to 50 meters, this watch delivers classic racing watch style without the vintage price tag. An excellent choice for enthusiasts seeking accessible vintage-inspired design.
Orient’s Bambino collection is the best bargain in automatic dress watches. There are eight versions available in a wide variety of colors, but a no-date version is finally available. It is the ever-popular 38mm Version 2, featuring applied Roman numeral hour markers and a ruler minutes track. The debut no-date is available in white, cream, green, brown and gray dials.
Created to celebrate 65 years since cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space, Raketa — which was founded the same year in honor of Gagarin’s achievement — has launched a new cosmonaut’s watch featuring dual-24-hour-time capability, a rotating compass bezel and other space-worthy features in a retro-futuristic tool-watch design.
Raymond Weil continues its hot streak, adding a warm colorway to its most elegant model, the moonphase version of its GPHG Award-winning Millesime dress watch. This iteration combines a 39mm rose gold PVD stainless steel case with a multifinished sector dial in brown. The handset is rose gold-tone to match the case, and the watch is paired with a stitched brown leather strap to maximize its winter wearability.
For the second time, Japanese watch brand G-Shock and streetwear outfit Anti Social Social Club have teamed up on a timepiece imbued with the former’s legendary durability and the latter’s styling. Based on the G-Shock 6900 Series, this watch still has the same signature round shape, digital display and trio of sub dials, but also gets a unique floral dial design that extends to the translucent strap.
Timex adds two pastel sunburst dials — the ice blue seen here and a light pink — to the Automatic 1983 E Line collection. The compact sports watch, featuring a 34mm case, is notable for its TV dial and integrated stainless steel Perfect Fit expansion bracelet. It is powered by a Miyota Caliber 8215 automatic movement, and the dial is topped with an acrylic crystal.
H. Moser & Cie. Streamliner Tourbillon Concept Ceramic
Moser’s first-ever ceramic watch combines an anthracite gray ceramic case and integrated bracelet with a red fumé Grand Feu enamel dial and an in-house double-hairspring tourbillon movement.
RZE introduces a pilot’s version of its Resolute field watch, featuring the brand’s requisite titanium case with its trademark UltraHex coating that prevents scratches. The angular 39mm case is available with a yellow, white or black dial modeled after the Type A flieger design, updated with prominent rounded indices connected to a flat, sandwiched chapter ring. It is powered by a Miyota Caliber 82S0 automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve, and comes on a green or black TecTuff pin buckle strap or the brand’s titanium HexLink bracelet. It will be available for preorder on March 20.
Bulova Military Chronograph Veterans Watchmaker Initiative VWI Edition
Bulova is one of the most historically significant American watch brands. In fact, the first-ever televised advertisement was for Bulova. The brand’s latest launch only furthers its connection to American culture, as its a military-inspired field chronograph built in partnership with the Veteran Watchmaker’s Initiative (a charity that helps veterans find employment in the watchmaking industry). Of course, it’s also a stellar watch, boasting a classic color combo, a tough stainless steel case, an ultra-precise proprietary movement and a traditional leather strap.
Seiko links up with skater brand Huf on this reimagining of the 1970s Time Sonar, complete with a transparent dial and caseback in matching Huf green and a bilingual day/date complication in English and Japanese.
Richard Mille’s soccer-specific flyback chronograph took five years develop and can mechanically track a full soccer match (two halves, plus two overtimes) while also keeping score for both teams.
MeisterSinger is known for its one-handed watches, but to celebrate its 25th anniversary, the German brand has come up with a watch that’s just a bit more complicated (and a lot easier to read). The Panthero Jumping Hour keeps MeisterSinger’s trademark one-handed style, but adds a jump-hour window at 12:00. This leaves the sole hand to track minutes alone instead of minutes and hours, creating a watch that’s more intuitive to read but just as minimalist. The watch also features a running indicator in the form of a spinning MeisterSinger logo above 6:00, and it’s all packed inside a nicely sculpted 40.5mm stainless steel case with cut-out sides and a sapphire caseback showing off the Sellita-based Calibre MS-JH-01 automatic movement. The watch is priced at €6,990 (~$8,226).
Citizen’s hit affordable automatic sports watch, the Tsuyosa, gets a clever dial update from French artist seconde/seconde/. The minute hand is a 16-bit-style pixelated samurai sword, and the applied hour markers have been cut in half with printed slice marks between each segmented pair. The sits atop a radiant blue sunburst dial, and the caseback reads “being small never stopped minutes from slicing hours into pieces.”
Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph North American Limited Edition
Yes, this Navitimer has a panda dial, but it is in the nuanced details that you find one of the best-looking Breitling watches ever released. The creamy silver dial, rose gold hands and indices and the red detailing on the chronograph hands and slide rule bezel amplify the iconic dial. It has a 43mm stainless steel case and comes on a mahogany brown alligator leather strap with a steel folding clasp. This is a limited edition of 300 pieces available only in the United States and Canada.
Nivada expands the second generation of its F77 integrated sports watch reboot by introducing Tressed dials for an even closer resemblance to the original 1977 watch’s inspiration, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. Just as before, the watch maintains its porthole-like octagonal bezel with its six exposed screws, bringing it very close to Royal Oak territory, but its integrated three-link Oyster-style bracelet gives the F77 a character all its own.
