17 New Watches You Missed from Breitling, Seiko, Timex and More

Nivada Grenchen made a mecaquartz version of the Chronosport, a chronograph copied directly from a 1970s prototype from the brand’s archive. The automatic movement of the original has been replaced with a Seiko-made VK67 meca-quartz, allowing for the addition of a 12-hour chronograph register. It is available with tan sub-dials that mimic the prototype, or a salmon color that Nivada Grenchen uses throughout multiple collections.

Singer Reimagined, the horological arm of acclaimed Porsche modifier Singer Vehicle Design, is mostly known for its highly technical and avant-garde modern chronographs. But for its Heritage Collection, the brand looks to the past. The Heritage Collection Chronograph is powered by a restored and reworked vintage Valjoux 236, a hand-wound, column-wheel chronograph engine from the ’70s that Singer retro-modded. The old-school calibre powers a handsome two-register chronograph with a sunray-finished 38mm stainless steel case. Available in black or green and limited to 100 pieces total, the Heritage Collection Chronograph is priced at CHF 16,700 (~$18,960).

This smaller version of Norqain’s flagship sports watch is just as rugged as its big brother but is three mm smaller across the case and even lighter at 64 grams, meaning it’s better suited to a wider variety of wrists. The complex 25-part case is made primarily from Norteq, the brand’s proprietary carbon fiber composite, and features a BIWI-made rubber shock absorber and titanium movement holder for heightened protection. Like the original Wild One Skeleton, the 39 is available in a range of fun, bright colors, including Sky Blue, Hyper Pink, Purple Ice Blue and Mint.

Having released its first watch just two years earlier, Fleux has impressively already created an eye-catching signature watch with the FLX004. It perfectly balances dive watch utilitarianism and dress watch minimalism in a classical design language. The 38mm stainless steel case houses a Seiko-made NH38A automatic movement.

What happens when two affordable British watch brands team up? You get one of the most fun watches of the year. Mr Jones’s designers have lent their whimsical artistry to CW’s stunning C1 Moonphase 37, swapping out the dress watch’s sparkly aventurine dial and photorealistic moon for a cartoonish and colorful depiction of the night sky complete with clouds, a cartoon moon and a pair of circling swallows swooping in for the hour and minute hands. The cute collab is limited to 300 pieces and is available from Christopher Ward for $2,650 on a leather strap or $2,810 on a steel bracelet.

Doxa reintroduced a GMT complication to its lineup of professional-grade dive watches, modeled after a fan-favorite line from 2006. There are nine color options, including one “Vintage” design featuring a sunburst gray dial with an red-tipped arrow GMT hand rather than the wire outline hand on the others.

When it comes to everyday sports watches, the Omega Aqua Terra sets the bar for versatility, comfort, value and good looks. Now, the watch gets a bold makeover with the addition of a lacquered turquoise dial that differs from other timepieces thanks to a black gradient effect, which stands in vivd contrast to white indices. The watch itself comes with Omega’s relatively new comfort bracelet, complete with micro-adjustability on the go.

An exclusive reimagining of the iconic “Monster” diver courtesy of Japanese fashion brand Beams, this take on the Seiko Prospex SKX781 sees the chunky watch transformed into a silver-and-gold masterpiece. Much of what made the watch both divisive and beloved — like its chunky case and reliable automatic movement — remain, keeping the swaps purely in the realm of aesthetics. Still, the sunken treasure-worthy pallete swap is sure to have fans clamoring for this release.

Timex takes clear visual inspiration from the iconic Omega Seamaster Diver 300M for this interpretation of its Deepwater dive watch featuring an engraved wave-pattern dial.

Breitling’s time-and-date transformation of its Top Time chronograph is a compact and versatile everyday watch with sporty, classic styling and the brand’s first-ever in-house designed and developed three-hand movement.

Swiss watchmaker Fortis made the chronograph used by Russian Cosmonauts even tougher and lighter with a titanium case and bracelet topped with a ceramic bezel. All three chronograph hands are plated in 3N gold plated, and the central dial hands are inlaid with SuperLuminova. The 42-millimeter case houses an in-house Fortis caliber Werk 17 automatic movement.

Maurice Lacroix celebrates its 50th anniversary with the 1975 Collection, a collection of vintage-inspired watches themed after the year of the affordable Swiss brand’s founding. The watches are a new design, but ML’s designers did take some stylistic inspiration from the brand’s Les Classique collection from 1988. The 1975 is an everyday watch, and a versatile one at that. It’s available in a 39mm case and quartz movement or with an automatic caliber in a 36 or 40mm case. All versions in blue, black and silver are available on either a quick-release bracelet or strap. In total, there are 18 distinct models in the collection, ranging in price from $750 for a quartz on a strap to $1,500 for an automatic on a bracelet.

HTD, a watch startup from Florence, translated the design language from 1970s racing chronographs into a timeless everyday watch. The 39-millimeter case is only 12 millimeters thick, allowing it to wear more like a dress watch. It runs on a Selitta caliber SW510M manual winding movement.

ZRC, a 120 year old Swiss watch company that is still family-owned, designed the Grand Fonds dive watch with a crown at 6 o’clock in 1958. Aside from improved materials and a Seillita movement, the current Heritage design remains unchanged. First reintroduced in 2018, it is available in three new colors, including the above “Vintage” with a black dial and gilt detailing.

Girard-Perregaux’s ongoing partnership with the Aston Martin F1 team has yielded some impressive timepieces, including this special edition of the Laureato Absolute. Combining a sandblasted Grade 5 titanium case with bright green colors derived from Aston’s racecars and an ultra-comfortable FKM rubber strap, this sports watch is a versatile everyday flyer with loads of character.

Three new colors are available in the Nodus Sector II Sport. The uncomplicated dial, 38-millimeter case, anti-reflective sapphire crystal, screw-down crown and Seiko-made NH38 automatic movement have made this the brand’s most popular line. Each of the three new dial colors–white, black and blue with a bronze bezel and crown–maximizes the watch’s everyday versatility.

A match made in motorsports heaven, the Moritz Green combines Farer’s track-ready Chrono-Sport chronograph with a classic shade of British racing green. The fetching shade appears on the sunburst dial, engine-turned subdials (including a “Big Eye” register and 3 o’clock) and aluminum bezel. Farer went with Super-LumiNova’s vintage-inspired Old Radium shade for the lume, which fully illuminates the telemeter bezel and dominates the dial in the form of solid Lumicast hybrid ceramic indices. The case, crown and pushers are all crafted from lightweight Grade 2 titanium, while a Swiss-made Sellita SW510M b Elaboré manual-wind chronograph movement beats away inside, offering 63 hours of power when fully wound.
