17 Watches You Missed from Timex, Tudor, Grand Seiko and More

Jack Mason debuts its most dedicated tool watch yet with the Pursuit Pro, which features a rugged ceramic countdown bezel, anti-scratch coating on its stainless steel case and brightly glowing Lumicast indices.

Lorier streamlined the case design for the second series of its automatic chronograph. The lugs are raised 1mm, and the bezel is narrower, creating a smoother profile. The 1960s-inspired auto racing chronograph dial remains unchanged, but the limited edition Contrasto reference reverses the panda dial with a black base and white subdials. It is powered by a (Seiko-owned) TMI caliber NE88 automatic movement with a 30-minute totalizer, 12-hour totalizer and 45-hour power reserve.

Following up their smash-hit “Gimlet” collab from earlier this year, British independent brands Fears and Studio Underd0g are back with another cocktail-themed stunner. The “Manhattan” uses the same formula as its predecessor, combining the 38mm cushion case of Fears’s Brunswick model with the dual-layer sapphire dial and whimsical spirit of Studio Underd0g’s Series02. The result is a highly wearable, neo-retro, manually wound watch with a mesmerizing smoked amber dial inspired by its namesake tipple. The watch is limited to 300 pieces and will be available exclusively at the Windup Watch Fair in New York next month, and will be followed by a mysterious third collab from the brands to be sold online for those who couldn’t attend the show.

Believe it or not, Rolex’s younger sibling has never made a moonphase watch until now. Part of the 1926 collection, it has a classical, mid-century-inspired dial with alternating Arabic numeral and triangular index hour markers and leaf hands. The radial brushed dial, available in blue, gold and black, is clean aside from the brand logo and round moonphase window. The bottom half of the window is obscured by clouds in the same color as the hour markers and hands. The 39mm polished stainless steel case comes on a seven-link steel bracelet with a butterfly clasp. Rather than develop a new movement, Tudor wisely sourced a Sellita caliber SW280-1 automatic movement.

This tropical-dialed, Cerakoted, limited-edition variant of Nodus’s attractive and durable titanium field watch stands out, or rather, blends in, thanks to its unique camo strap.

Timex enters the luxury space with Timex Atelier, a sub-brand dedicated to a higher level of watchmaking than we’ve ever seen from the American institution. The Marine M1a diver kicks things off with impressive features like a fully lumed ceramic bezel, an enameled dial, a skeletonized case, a bracelet with tool-free adjustable links and a Swiss-made automatic movement.

Grand Seiko presents the most elevated look yet for its Evolution 9 case, housing the game-changing caliber 9RB2 Spring Drive U.F.A. movement, boasting a measured accuracy of +/-20 seconds per year and a 72-hour power reserve. The new dial texture is a tonal purple, inspired by the “ethereal beauty of a front-covered violet dawn,” with a carved cross-hash pattern resembling a basket weave. Grand Seiko’s Ever-Brilliant Steel 37mm case and matching three-link bracelet are finished with the signature Zaratsu polish. This limited edition of 1,300 pieces will be available in November 2025.

Timex increases the depth of its affordable field watch collection with the burly Expedition Ridge 43mm. The dial has a military time layout, a date window at three o’clock, a large chapter ring with cutouts for the minute markers and an Indiglo backlight. It has a brass alloy compass bezel with faceted grips, and a brushed metal case with a large crown guard. The flexible silicone pin-buckle strap is light and comfortable for extended wear.

This Timex dive watch combines style cues from classic Seiko divers with some impressive specs, including an AR-coated sapphire crystal, a Japanese automatic movement and a 200m water-resistance rating, all for under $400.

MING’s final iteration of its 37-series moonphase uses a unique meter-like indicator for its signature complication along with a multilayer lume treatment utilizing both Super-LumiNova and the brand’s own Polar White lume.

Venezianico pays homage to the Concorde with this handsome chronograph that not only features a piece of a Concorde engine blade screwed onto the case, but also a NOS Lemania 1873 movement from the supersonic jet’s glory days.

Doxa and Watches of Switzerland come together for this limited-edition Sub 300 Carbon featuring an exclusive Seafoam dial and additional Seafoam NATO strap.

Norquain’s Freedom 60 Chrono was one of the brand’s first designs when it was introduced in 2020. Five years later, it looks better than ever with the quintessential chronograph color scheme: the panda dial. This limited edition reference elevates the look with rose gold-plated hands, hour markers and dial logo. It is powered by a customized Sellita caliber SW510a automatic movement with a 30-minute totalizer at three o’clock, a 12-hour totalizer at six o’clock and a 62-hour power reserve.

Baltic updates its flagship diver with this second generation featuring a beefier, more sharply finished case, a Maxi-style dial, a refined new rubber strap and much more lume.

Vacheron Constantin celebrates its 270th anniversary in 2025, and as the world’s oldest continually operating watch brand, it has a lot to celebrate. This addition to its Métiers d’Art line boasts four patents and features a display unlike any other. A 3D gold human figure stands proud at the center of the dial, with his arms acting as retrograde hour and minute hands. You can either have him show the time continuously or on demand by activating a pusher at 10:00, but that’s not all. At 6:00 are a pair of retrograde power-reserve indicators tracking the six days of juice in the new manually wound Cal. 3670 movement, while a spherical gold moon at 12:00 displays the phases and age of the moon. The celestial backdrop of the dual-layer sapphire dial depicts the constellations as they appeared in the night sky above Geneva on the day of Vacheron’s founding on September 17, 1755, while the caseback features a sky chart displaying the current movement of the constellations and sidereal time. This white gold masterpiece is limited to just 20 numbered examples, with the price available upon request.

Bulova collaborated with Shelby on this Mustang GT500-inspired chronograph. Combining a custom bullhead case with a 1,000th-of-a-second Precisionist chronograph movement and a premium racing stripe-adorned rubber strap, this collab is one of Bulova’s most impressive releases in recent memory.

Ed Margulies, a third-generation watch dealer with decades of industry experience, founded Split Watches to promote mental health awareness within the watch community. Its initial design, the MC series, uses a custom-designed ceramic polymer blend called Caramod+ for the case and strap. It is antimicrobial and does not react to heat or moisture. The automatic bi-compax chronograph runs on a little-known Seiko-made movement, the caliber NE86A. Each watch sold donates one hour of therapy to a young person who cannot afford it through the Anna Freud charity.
