Omega
Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Black and White
Omega adds a third colorway to its stainless steel Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch lineup with this reverse panda version featuring a two-layer dial of white and black lacquer and a ceramic bezel.
Oris solidifies the year’s first significant watch trend with a Big Crown Pointer Date dressed up in a black tie dial dubbed the “Bullseye.” The design dates back to the 1920s for Oris and hasn’t been produced since 1998. The 38mm steel case houses an Oris caliber 754 automatic movement, beating at 4Hz and offering a 41-hour power reserve. It comes on a black Cervo Volante deer leather strap with quick-release pins and a steel pin buckle.
Christopher Ward C60 Trident GMT 300 “Bruce Wayne”
Christopher Ward adds another Rolex homage to its lineup with this “Bruce Wayne”-inspired take on the Trident GMT 300 featuring a gray-and-black ceramic bezel.
G-Shock’s so-called “CasiOak” lives up to its high-end namesake in the latest MR-G rendition of the modern classic. The MRG-B2100D-2A brings a deep-blue dial to the all-metal construction, inspired by Japan’s longstanding tradition of indigo-dying. In other words, it’s never looked closer to the Royal Oak.
Teddy Baldassarre collaborated with RGM Watch Co., a full-service watchmaker based in Pennsylvania, to create this stunning dress watch featuring a handmade guilloche dial. The 39mm polished steel case houses a customized Schwarz Etienne caliber ASE 200 automatic movement, regulated by RGM and boasting an 86-hour power reserve.
The hand-wound version of Hamilton’s Intra-Matic Chronograph receives a set of three new dials with 1960s auto racing color schemes: a blue dial with orange chronograph hands, a fumé brown dial and a fumé British racing green. They are powered by the Hamilton caliber H-51 hand-wound movement with a 60-hour power reserve. Each watch comes with a perforated leather pin buckle racing strap, along with a steel mesh bracelet with a folding clasp.
Yema’s gorgeous retro skin diver, equipped with its in-house CMM.20 micro-rotor automatic movement, gets a brilliant bronze upgrade to the case, crown and bezel frame. The 39mm case is only 10mm tall, excluding the box sapphire crystal. There is a regular production model in green and a limited-edition gray version, with 200 pieces available. Both come on a matching rubber strap with a bronze pin buckle.
Hamilton revived a limited-edition black-and-gold Pan Euop from 2023 to be worn by a character in Resident Evil Requiem. It features a black case and dial with a prominent gold-toned rehaut, golden bezel track and a gilded ring on the crown. It runs on a Hamilton caliber H-30 automatic movement with an 80-hour power reserve, and comes on a black leather strap with a printed gold stripe and a steel folding clasp.
Award-winning Chinese brand Ciga Design adds another high-end complication to its shockingly affordable lineup with this wandering hour watch boasting an in-house module and a Super Black dial.
Gerald Charles takes a unique approach to meteorite dials with its two-part dial that simulates a meteorite’s impact. The bottom layer is red aluminum, exposed through radial apertures to create the illusion of impact. Heightening the illusion are applied numerals knocked askew and a rotating fire-gradient running seconds indicator that animates the blast.
Mido adds a sharp colorway to its line of ceramic-bezeled divers with this version of the Ocean Star 200C featuring a red bezel, black wave dial and gilt hands and indices on a brown leather strap.
Maurice Lacroix combines two high-end complications, a grand date and a retrograde day indicator, in this skeletonized, grail-worthy version of its 1975 dress watch.
Armin Strom improves upon its classic Tribute 1 with the Tribute² Aurum, which maintains the original design’s asymmetrical dial layout featuring an off-center clock face inset with an exposed mainspring barrel and bridge, but adds additional skeletonization with more exposed gears and a visible mainspring. The stainless steel case keeps its compact proportions at just 38mm across and 9.38mm thick, but the exposed mainplate — which functionally acts as the dial — is now gold-plated with a handsome, hand-worked tremblage finish. The watch is limited to just 10 pieces and is priced at CHF 27,000 (~$33,700).
This special edition Adventure Sport features a 42mm bronze case and bezel, with a black herringbone-textured dial. It is powered by a Norqain NN08 automatic movement with a 41-hour power reserve and comes on a black rubber strap with a bronze pin buckle. It is a limited edition of 100 pieces, available exclusively in North America.
Norqain Adventure Sport Chrono DLC 44mm “Golden Hour”
This black DLC-coated Adventure Sport Chronograph features a black herringbone-textured dial with golden sunburst subdials and brushed bronze hands. The 44mm case houses a Norqain N19 automatic movement with a 62-hour power reserve and comes on a black rubber strap with a bronze pin buckle. It is a limited edition of 50 pieces, available exclusively in North America.
Although Luminox is perhaps best known for its dive watches, the brand also has an exceptional field watch in its lineup, the Atacama. For the 2026 Chinese Zodiac Year of the Horse, the brand has launched a special edition of that very watch, and it might just be the best-looking offering yet. Done in black with field tan highlights — including a horse icon at the 7 o’clock location — the watch is striking and full of character. Of course, it’s also highly capable and ultra-rugged, as well.
G-Shock’s Mr-G Series has consistently produced some of the most luxurious, craft-focused watches in the entire G-Shock catalog. But the latest to join its ranks is special, even by Mr-G standards. Inspired by Japanese blacksmithing and the mythical phoenix, this titanium watch features a handcrafted, tsuba sword iron-inspired bezel handcrafted by metalsmith Kobayashi Masao. It also features genuine emeralds set into the bezel screws and a distinctive crystallized pattern that forms when heat is applied to pure titanium.
VPC’s second-ever watch is a Goldilocks diver with a laundry list of enthusiast-approved specs, a COSC-certified Sellita automatic movement and, best of all, a case thickness of just 9.34mm, making it the thinnest 200m diver on the market.
Zelos adds a dressy moonphase complication to arguably its best everyday watch, the Helica, combining the dressy complication with a case and bracelet designed to be worn everywhere.
Swedish indie brand Maen completely rebuilt the Hudson 38 with classic diver design language. The 38mm stainless steel case is slimmed down to 11mm in height, excluding the box sapphire crystal, and is water-resistant to 300m. The bezel insert is now ceramic and contains a lume pip. It is powered by a La Joux-Perret caliber G100 automatic movement, beating at 4Hz with a 68-hour power reserve. It is available on a quick-release three-link steel bracelet for an additional $184.
Jacob & Co. unveils the fastest tourbillon in history with the humbly named God of Time. The God of Time’s lightweight titanium tourbillon completes a full rotation once every four seconds — 15 times faster than a standard tourbillon — which theoretically should increase its resistance to gravity. A constant force escapement delivers consistent power across the new JCAM60 calibre’s 60-hour power reserve, and the tourbillon is “held” on the dial by a three-dimensional depiction of Chronos, the Ancient Greek embodiment of time, in 18K rose gold to match the case.
