Omega
Omega Speedmaster Milano Cortina 2026
Omega gears up for its role as official timekeeper at the 2026 Winter Olympics with this special Speedmaster 38 that borrows stylistic elements from the Moonwatch while adding wintry touches like a frosted varnish dial and ski slope-inspired subdials.
Brellum adds a clever dual-sided power reserve indicator to this handsome panda dial to create a unique four-register automatic chronograph with pleasing symmetry.
Smaller, slimmer and more streamlined than G-Shock’s metal CasiOak, the new GST-B1000 under the brand’s G-Steel features an all-analog display available in three dial colors. As refined as it may look, though, the watch gives up little in the durability department. A carbon-reinforced resin case protects the inner workings of the watch, while urethane buffering components reinforce the connection points between the case and the bracelet.
Mido’s Chronometer 1 is one of the best values in Swiss watchmaking, as it boasts a decorated 80-hour automatic movement equipped with an amagnetic silicon balance spring for well under $2,000. Here, the watch has received an unexpected motorsports makeover with the Chronometer 1 Racer. It features a black PVD stainless steel case and the line’s signature Geneva-striped dial, but it adds loads of visual interest with four contrasting rings around the dial’s edge in black, white, light blue and orange. This striking combo is then paired with a light blue leather strap featuring a pair of orange racing stripes. While Mido doesn’t make any concrete connection, the colorway is almost certainly inspired by the iconic blue-and-orange Gulf racing livery. And for those times when you want something a touch more demure, the watch also comes with a black leather rallye strap with white stitching.
Bell & Ross makes the travel-ready version of its signature instrument watch even more appropriate for travel by adding a compass scale to go along with its GMT function.
Farer’s most luxe watch yet features a hand-painted moonphase display in a custom shade of gold Super-LumiNova, a rose gold PVD case and, the real highlight, a dial made from eisenkiesel — a natural stone mainly associated with Rolex.
Yema made the Navygraf, an already excellent automatic dive watch, into an absolute jaw-dropper by expanding the mother-of-pearl dial with a matching bezel insert. Made with natural mother-of-pearl derived from mollusk shells, each watch features a unique texture that appears different from every angle. The 39mm steel brushed steel case houses the in-house caliber CMM.20 automatic micro-rotor movement, allowing for a sleek 9.75mm case height, excluding the double-domed sapphire crystal. The dial and matching bezel are available in both light and darker shades, and the watch is paired with either an H-link brushed steel bracelet or a perforated FKM rubber pin-buckle strap.
Nomos slyly updates its minimalist time-and-date masterpiece by keeping the design intact but updating the movement to its state-of-the-art Cal. DUW 4601 movement. The new hand-wound calibre features Nomos’s proprietary Swing System escapement, an improved power reserve of 52 hours and exquisite sunray finishing that’s visible behind a sapphire caseback.
Raymond Weil does its best Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse impression with this compact, classy dress watch boasting a manually wound movement and gorgeous sunburst dial.
Timex expands on its fan-favorite Continental watch with this sleek, sporty, sophisticated timepiece that qualifies as the brand’s best IWC Ingenieur impression. While it maintains the same 39-millimeter case size and integrated bracelet design, it sees the dial streamlined and minimized. While it has no alphanumeric markings on the dial, opting instead for a pared-down design, it does have a day-date display at the 3 o’clock position for a bit more utility.
Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Stainless Steel & Rose Gold
Parmigiani zhuzhes up the micro-rotor-powered version of its sleeper luxury sports watch with this new two-tone version. Normally executed in plain steel (with or without a platinum bezel), solid gold or solid platinum, the latest version features a mix of steel and rose gold throughout its case and bracelet. While most two-tone watches look forever trapped in the 1980s, PF’s take on the style is decidedly modern. Featuring a Stone Blue hand-guilloché dial, minimalist indices and skeletonized hands — both in solid rose gold – this has to be one of the most gorgeous examples of a two-tone watch ever produced by any brand.
Union Glashütte Belisar Chronograph Speedster LE 2025
Unions Glashütte pays tribute to a legendary Italian rally car from the 1980s, the Lancia Delta Integrale, by emulating its instrument panel on the Belisar chronograph dial. A light-blue-gray dial is decorated with black chronograph counters and a white small seconds dial. The counter hands are neon yellow, matching the tipped chronograph seconds hand, minutes track and sector detailing. The bulky 44mm wide and 15mm tall polished steel case houses an in-house caliber UNG-27.S1 automatic movement with a silicone hairspring, 65-hour power reserve and a dedicated date corrector at 10 o’clock. It comes on a light-blue-gray textured rubber strap with fitted ends.
Unimatic x The Armoury Modello Cinque U5S-TA2 ‘10.15’
Unimatic and The Armoury team up for this unexpected motorsport-inspired spin on the former’s Modello Cinque featuring a matte-white dial, bright red checkered minute track and red skeletonized handset.
Timex’s second collab with watch publication Dimepiece is designed to be a vintage-inspired unisex stacker that can be worn like functional jewelry on the wrist.
TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon Extreme Sport F1 75th Anniversary
TAG Heuer celebrates its new-for-2025 status as Formula One’s official timekeeper with this special-edition version of the Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon Extreme Sport that celebrates 75 years of motorsports’ most prestigious organization crowning World Champions. The flashy new chrono boasts a 44mm case in sandblasted titanium with its pushers and crown in black DLC titanium and tachymeter bezel in solid 18K gold. The openworked dial shows off the in-house Calibre TH20-09 movement, an automatic chronograph with a tourbillon, vertical clutch, column wheel and a robust 65-hour power reserve. Fittingly, the watch is limited to just 75 examples.
Jacques Bianchi Marseille x Deepsea.edc JB300 Profonde
Professional diver Brock Stevens, AKA Deepsea.edc, teams up with French watchmaker Jacques Bianchi Marseille for this purpose-build dive watch featuring a stonewashed Grade 5 titanium case, bicolor lume, a maxi dial and a destro crown.
The latest in Luminox’s Recon series, this watch was developed alongside a former Swiss Army Military Security NCO and internationally recognized tactical specialist. And it was crafted specifically with precision navigation in mind. To that end, it boasts a highly accurate Swiss quartz GMT movement, alongside a dial boasting multiple navigational aids. Even the strap gets in on the action with an integrated, removable compass and ruler markings.
Hautlence, H. Moser & Cie’s even more outrageous sister brand, has reworked its most recognizable model, The Sphere, into a smaller, more wearable version. Now measuring just 37mm × 45mm, the compact Grade 5 titanium case still houses the watch’s signature spherical jumping hours complication. On the left side of the skeletonized dial, a polished purple titanium orb with luminous numerals displays the hour. At the top of each hour, the orb spins on three axes in a hypnotic dance before settling on the current hour. On the right side of the dial is a retrograde minutes display, which snaps back to zero as the sphere does its thing, creating quite the show every 60 minutes. The effect is achieved by the new in-house Calibre A82 manually wound movement. It maintains the 72-hour power reserve of the A80 of the Series 2, but has been reengineered to fit the smaller case of the Series 3. Limited to just 28 pieces, the watch is priced at CHF 69,000 (~$86,640).
