Glashütte Original released the Senator Meissen “Cherry Blossom”, its latest collaboration with Meissen, the German porcelain manufacturer. The new release features a 40mm 5N red gold case with a dial made of Meissen porcelain, hand-painted by artisans with a motif of flowering winter cherry trees in shades varying from white to vibrant deep pink. There are no indices, only thin red-gold hands, allowing the artwork to take center stage. It’s powered by Glashütte Original’s in-house automatic manufacture Calibre 36-16, which has a silicon balance spring for magnetic resistance and a 100-hour power reserve. The decorated movement and skeletonized rotor are visible through the exhibition caseback. It’s in a limited edition and priced at $38,200.

Omega released two new Seamaster Diver 300M editions celebrating James Bond and his nemesis, the fictional criminal organization Spectre. Both are in 42mm stainless-steel cases with steel mesh bracelets and are powered by the brand's Co-Axial Calibre 8806. The James Bond version has a blue dial engraved with waves with a titanium dive bezel and 007 logo on the rotor, while the Spectre version has a black textured dial, a black ceramic bezel insert, and the Spectre logo on the rotor. Both versions are priced at $8,600. Neither is a limited edition. Omega also released two sets limited to 77 each, pairing a steel watch with a platinum-gold version, priced at $89,800. The collection also features Spectre- or 007-themed cufflinks that can be purchased separately.

Seiko introduced collection 2 from its Power Design Project with two limited edition quartz watches that resemble pandas. They are a designer's play on chronograph displays that have been nicknamed "panda" dials due to their white dials and black registers, and the new pieces have additional bear traits, with pushers inspired by the panda's black ears that operate the chronograph function and a smiling mouth on the dial. Both versions, in white (to resemble adult panda fur) or pink (to resemble the look of a baby panda) have an embossed radial pattern on the dials inspired by fur, and the hour and minute hands are shaped like the panda's favorite snack, bamboo leaves. The white version is limited to 3,000 pieces, while the pink is limited to 2,000 pieces. They will be available for purchase in November 2026 and are priced at $540.

H. Moser & Cie introduced three new watches with a retrograde seconds complication across the Pioneer, Streamliner and Endeavour collections, each taking on the complication in distinct ways. The Endeavour, priced at $35,200, is the most understated of the three, with a 40mm steel case, dark grey fumé dial, and alligator strap; the Streamliner, priced at $37,700, goes sporty with a 40mm steel case, integrated bracelet, and deep blue fumé dial; and the Pioneer Skeleton, priced at $44,100, goes bold, in a 40mm steel case with an openworked anthracite-finished dial that reveals the movement, contrasting gold hands and hour markers, and both an integrated bracelet and khaki rubber strap. All three have a retrograde seconds display at the six o’clock position, which travels across the dial for 30 seconds before snapping back instantaneously to its starting point to start the journey anew.

Bremont introduced the Supermarine Full Ceramic Deep Blue, a continuation of its Supermarine dive watch line. In a 43mm ceramic case, it features dive capabilities such as 500-meter water resistance, a titanium inner case, and a helium escape valve. The dial is black with a wave effect, and is paired with a knurled titanium uni-directional bezel, while the indices and hands are filled with the latest generation of Super-LumiNova. It's available with three strap options: black and blue woven fabric NATO, blue rubber with an embossed texture and leather lining, or black rubber chevron. It's limited to 250 pieces and priced at $7,400.

Hamilton introduced the American Classic Cushion Mechanical collection, tapping its archives for inspiration from its Art Deco-era Cushion Plain and Cushion Engraved models from the 1920s. The six-reference collection comes in 30mm and 34mm stainless steel cases, with some versions available in yellow gold PVD. The 30mm versions are available in a sandblasted beige or white dial, while the 34mm versions have black, beige, or silver dials. The vintage looks come with some modern upgrades such as sapphire crystals with anti-reflective coating, 50 meters of water resistance, Super-LumiNova on the hands and indices, and Hamilton's caliber H-42 manually-wound movement. Prices vary from $995 to $1,095.

Bulova released the Disco by Bulova collection of 1970s-inspired pieces for both men and women.
