IWC Schaffhausen presents two new black dial versions of the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41. Among the new black dial variants, one is fitted with a black calfskin strap, and the other with a high-grade stainless steel bracelet.
Introduced in 2021, IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 ideally fits for even slender wrists. This fully versatile sports watch features a 100m water-resistant case and the integrated EasX-CHANGE® quick change system.
The dial takes inspiration from an easy-to-read cockpit instrument design that has become the hallmark of IWC’s Pilot’s Watches. The stopped minutes are displayed at 12 o’clock and the minutes at 9 o’clock. In addition, the chronograph also features a day and date aperture at 3 o’clock and a small seconds display at 6 o’clock.
After initially launching the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 with blue and green dials, IWC is now extending the collection with two new versions which feature black dials.
The first one (Ref. IW388111) is fitted with a black calfskin strap whereas the second one (Ref. IW388113) features a sophisticated 5-link stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp.
Both new models are powered by the IWC-manufactured 69385 calibre movement. This mechanical chronograph movement in a classic column-wheel design consists of 231 individual parts and is visible through the sapphire glass case back. The bi-directional pawl winding system builds up a power reserve of 46 hours in the mainspring.
Just like their predecessors, both novelties feature the IWC EasX-CHANGE® system for quick and easy strap exchange and are water resistant to 10 bar.
The new versions of the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 are available immediately on IWC.com, from IWC boutiques and through selected retail partners. In addition, the timepieces are eligible for registration under the My IWC care program and can benefit from a 6-year extension to the standard 2-year International Limited Warranty.

AVI-8’s new Hawker Hunter Atlas watch combines chronograph with additional time-zone function.
Equipped with a Japanese chronograph movement, the Hawker Hunter Atlas Dual Time Chronograph pays tribute to one of the most celebrated and utilized fighter jets in military aviation history.

Inspired by the Hunter’s cockpit instrument panel, the multi-layered dial has intelligently designed subdial frames and hands. Swiss lume applied baton indexes offer optimum readability. The Japanese chronograph movement features date, dual time and 24-hour displays.
The watch is fitted with a premium hand-crafted genuine leather strap with contrast military aviation inspired stitching.

With this limited edition watch series, Cuervo y Sobrinos takes us back to 1957, a time when Cuba hosted the action-packed Cuban Grand Prix.
Limited to 162 pieces, the Cuervo y Sobrinos Historiador Gran Premio de Cuba “1957” chronograph takes inspiration from the historical race, but crafted with modern day specifications.
The inaugural Cuban Grand Prix, the Gran Premio de Cuba was held in 1957. In this race, the famous Argentinean driver Juan Manuel Fangio secured victory in his Maserati 300S. The following year, on the eve of the race, antigovernmental revolutionaries kidnapped Fangio, however, the race still went ahead and Stirling Moss was victorious in his Ferrari 335S.
Unfortunately, the 1959 race was cancelled due to political instability, however, it returned for one last time in 1960, when the British driver, Stirling Moss, was once again, triumphant, albeit this time in a Maserati Tipo 61.
Cuervo y Sobrinos honours the Gran Premio de Cuba with a new, limited-edition chronograph bearing the name and date of the legendary race first edition.
The vibrant red dial evokes motor racing spirit. The cream hours and minute hands are leaf-shaped, luminescent and plump, while their colour bestows the dial with a bygone charm.
The central chronograph seconds hand and counter hands are baton shaped. Two chronograph registers, 30 minutes and 12-hours, once again encompass cream hues, while a small seconds display, positioned at 9 o’clock, is presented in a vivid shade of red.
The bold, cream Arabic numerals offer better clarity. The hour markers are treated with Super-LumiNova, enhancing readability in dim light.
The red tones of the central dial area are framed with a cream circlet that serves as a telemeter scale. Beyond the telemeter scale is a black ring, hugging the interior of the case which plays host to a tachymeter. This feature allows the wearer to determine the speed of a vehicle over a known distance.
The Cuervo y Sobrinos Historiador Gran Premio de Cuba has a 42mm stainless steel case. The dial sits beneath a double curved sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. Two piston-style chronograph pushers are positioned on the right flank of the case and the lugs are ergonomically-shaped, optimising wearer comfort.
The watch is supplied on a black ‘racing style’ matte leather strap. It features numerous perforations, a detail inspired by the racing gloves of yesteryear. Red stitching and an open-worked CyS-branded clasp are two additional refinements.
The case back is adorned with a Gran Premio 1957 de Cuba insignia and the model is limited to just 162 pieces. This latter number was inspired by the 162 mile race distance of the Gran Premio 1957 de Cuba.
At the heart of the Historiador Gran Premio de Cuba “1957” sits an automatic Swiss movement, the CyS 8099 calibre. Based on the Valjoux 7753, the movement features an engraved oscillating weight and has a power-reserve of 48 hours.

Swiss luxury watch brand OMEGA debuts its latest innovation, the Spirate™ System, with the new Speedmaster Super Racing automatic chronograph.
Developed in-house, the Spirate™ System is comprised of an innovative new patent-pending spiral that allows for ultra-fine rate adjustments.
Each spiral is made from a silicon wafer, thanks to an internal manufacturing process called DRIE (Deep Reactive Ion Etching). With this mechanism, an impressive precision of 0/+2 seconds a day can be achieved.
It has a totally new Si14 balance spring which allows the watchmaker to act on the stiffness of the hairspring’s attachment point through an eccentric adjustment mechanism located on the balance bridge.
Announced this year, the OMEGA Speedmaster Super Racing is the first timepiece to be endowed with the fine-tune Spirate™ System. This 44.25 mm diameter stainless steel watch offers a clear view of the new mechanism through the sapphire crystal caseback.
The black dial is encircled with a racing style minute-track and a black ceramic bezel ring with the famous tachymeter scale in new yellow “grand feu” enamel. This bold yellow shade, featured on the OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra >15’000 GAUSS of 2013, is also used on the gradient chronograph hand and striped small seconds hand at 9 o’clock.
The watch’s 60 minute/12 hour recorder, directly opposite at 3 o’clock, also serves as a second time zone. The honeycomb pattern of the dial references a concept timepiece on display at OMEGA Museum which survived extreme magnetic fields of 160,000 GAUSS.
Omega CoAxial 9920 Calibre
Powering this revolutionary wristwatch is the self-winding Co-Axial Master Chronometer 9920 calibre, certified by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS). Proof of this certification is provided by a distinctive red METAS card, which in this case includes confirmation of the 0/+2 seconds a day precision made possible by the Spirate™ System.
The first movement in the world to feature the patent-pending OMEGA Spirate™ System, the CoAxial 9920 calibre incorporates a self-winding chronograph with column wheel mechanism. Visible through the exhibition case-back, it boasts a rhodium plated finish with Geneva waves in arabesque. The power reserve is approximately 60 hours.
The diamond-polished and bevelled black arrowhead indexes are filled with a new and exclusive Super-LumiNova with yellow glow. This colour code extends to the Speedmaster and Super Racing wording on the dial.
At 6 o’clock there’s a stylish and regular reminder of the >15’000 GAUSS 10 year anniversary: a “10” in Speedmaster logo font, which appears once a month in the watch’s date window.
The new Omega Speedmaster Super Racing comes fitted with a stainless steel bracelet featuring a fold-over butterfly clasp. The brand is also offering an additional NATO strap in recycled nylon with black and yellow stripes, inspired by the distinctive colour code of the Seamaster Aqua Terra >15’000 GAUSS watch.
Each Speedmaster Super Racing watch will be provided with a honeycomb pattern Speedmaster watch box in black with yellow stitching. The special presentation box includes the recycled nylon NATO strap and a strap changing tool.
The approximate retail price of the OMEGA Speedmaster Super Racing watch is $11,000.

Launched in 1969, the Boeing 747 has revolutionized commercial aviation. As the last of the mighty 747 airliners rolls off the Boeing production line, Swiss luxury watch brand Breitling presents a limited-edition Navitimer as a tribute to the legendary jumbo jet.
The 1574th – and last – Boeing 747 will be delivered this year. Created to honour this iconic airliner, the special special-edition Navitimer watch is limited to 747 pieces.
The Navitimer, developed by Breitling in 1952, was originally conceived for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA). This iconic pilot watch stands out with its significant circular slide rule that could perform all in-flight calculations.
The new Navitimer Boeing 747 features the AOPA logo at 12 o’clock. The colors on the dial echo the palette found on the original Boeing 747, captured in its cream dial with black subdials and red-and-white slide rule with blue accents. The “Boeing 747” name is subtly integrated into the slide rule’s inner scale. The watch also features an integrated date window at 6 o’clock.
Visible through the sapphire crystal case-back, the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01 offers approximately 70 hours of power reserve and is backed by a five-year warranty. The caseback also contains the special engravings “One of 747” and the phrase “The Original Jumbo Jet”.
The Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Boeing 747 watch is available on a black alligator leather strap or seven-row metal bracelet.

French watch brand YEMA presents the new Rallygraf Meca-Quartz equipped with a Seiko VK64 hybrid calibre.
This new model perfectly reflects tradition of YEMA’s double-countered chronographs with characteristic shapes reminiscent of vintage car dashboards.
The hours and minutes sub-registers as well as the small second hand with its red end directly refer to the world of motor racing.
The design of the hour and minute sub-registers are inspired by vintage race car dashboards. The hands and hour markers are coated with a layer of Super-LumiNova BGW9. The checkered flags on the dial are the Rallygraf’s signature emblem since the 1960’s.
The 39 mm diameter stainless steel case is mounted with a mat aluminum tachymetric bezel. The tachymeter scale on the bezel allows the owner to calculate the average speed over a given distance.
The Rallygraf Meca-Quartz comes with a high-quality 2.00mm thick K1 double domed mineral crystal glass. Secured with a solid stainless steel case-back, the watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters.
The time display of Seiko’s VK64 hybrid movement are powered by a quartz mechanism while the chronograph function is controlled by a mechanical module which results in a smooth sweeping second-hand movement.
The watch comes with a stainless steel mesh bracelet or rally-style strap. The grained, perforated leather Rallye-style strap has been specially designed in the Rallygraf’s matching colours.
The new Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz collection is available with 5 different models from January 31st on yema.com.

Since 2019, Swiss luxury watch brand Hublot has been supporting SORAI, an organisation founded by Hublot ambassador and former international cricket star Kevin Pietersen.
SORAI (Save Our Rhinos Africa India) helps keep rhinos threatened with extinction safe from poachers. This year, the Swiss watchmaker presents a special edition watch to support the activities of this organization.
As with the two previous limited editions, part of the proceeds from the sale of the 100 Big Bang Unico SORAI will be donated to the organisation. The colours chosen for the third limited edition are those of sunset, recalling the heightened danger faced by rhinos as night falls.
Sculpted from polished and microblasted rhino-grey ceramic specially developed for this limited edition, the Big Bang Unico SORAI features an open-worked dial featuring the glowing colours of sunset when the sky catches fire. It is at nightfall that poachers swing into action, cloaked in darkness and more difficult to track.
The colours of daybreak: yellow, orange, purple and pink represent the hope brought by dawn, of a new day and a chance at change.
Inside the 44 mm diameter case of the Big Bang Unico SORAI, beats the Unico selfwinding Manufacture movement with a 72-hour power reserve.
Thanks to the patented One Click interchangeable strap system, the Big Bang Unico SORAI can be worn with a grey fabric and Velcro version or a black, purple and orange camouflage design reflecting the hues of sunset and sunrise.
Founded in 2018 by former international cricketer and conservationist Kevin Pietersen, SORAI has supported grassroots organisations that rescue abandoned, injured, and orphaned endangered species and rehabilitate them where possible.

Presented during LVMH Watch Week in January 2023 Singapore, the new Hublot Big Bang Rainbow Editions reveals the art of bejewelled case setting. They are adorned with an array of gemstones in a perfect gradation of colours, seamlessly running through all the shades of the rainbow.
Two models are available with rainbow setting: a 42mm Big Bang Integrated Chronograph and a 40mm Big Bang Big Bang Integrated Time Only watch.
These sparkling timepieces are fully paved from the case to the bezel to the bracelet. Precious stones take their place alongside the most stunning minerals: ruby, amethyst, blue topaz, tsavorite, as well as a whole spectrum of sapphires – pink, orange, blue and yellow.
Hublot Big Bang Integrated Time Only King Gold Rainbow
There are 174 gemstones in total for the Big Bang Integrated and 176 gemstones for the Time Only, and the bracelet for each piece features 768 and 748 set gemstones respectively.
Hublot Big Bang Integrated Chronograph King Gold Rainbow
The case and bracelet are made of King Gold, a proprietary alloy that offers a warmer colour than traditional 18K 5N gold. Containing platinum, it lends itself perfectly to all the polishing and satin-finishing operations used to full effect on these two variations, alternating flat satin-finished surfaces and polished chamfers whose brilliance sparkles in harmony with each of the gemstones set on the piece.
Finally, the two pieces share the same completely black sapphire dial: main plate, flange and date window. Its monochrome backdrop showcases the full radiance of the rainbow setting.
Two large skeleton hands display the hours and minutes. The crown and pushers (chronograph model) are made of King gold. The black rubber protective structures form two “ears” at either side at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock.
The Big Bang Integrated Chronograph Rainbow model is equipped with the Unico Manufacture self-winding movement. Developed by the Hublot Manufacture, this mechanical skeleton calibre offers a power reserve of three full days.
Hublot Big Bang Integrated Time Only King Gold Rainbow
The Big Bang Rainbow Time Only watch has a 40-mm diameter case with a thickness of just 9.25 mm. This model houses the MHUB1710 Self-winding movement with three hands and date display. It has a power reserve of 50 hours.

The Zenith DEFY Extreme collection also includes a series of evocative special editions that integrate natural stones within the ruggedness of the toughest 1/100th of a second chronograph around.
Following the ZENITH DEFY Extreme Desertlaunched in 2021, the iconic Swiss manufacture presents the DEFY Extreme Glacier watch inspired by inspired by frozen barren landscapes.
An integral part of the titanium case, the component that protects the pushers as well as the dodecagonal bezel are crafted from chalcedony, a crystalline semi-translucent stone with a pale blue hue that evokes the frozen glaciers. Meticulously cut and polished by hand, each stone is different and exhibits slightly different colours and fibrous structures, making each of the 50 examples of the DEFY Extreme Glacier essentially a unique piece.
The open dial of the DEFY Extreme Glacier reveals the inner workings of the innovative and singular El Primero 1/100th of a second automatic high-frequency chronograph calibre and its two regulating organs beating at 50Hz for the chronograph and 5Hz for the timekeeping.
The chronograph counters are made in transparent sapphire crystal that’s given a frosted finish, recalling a layer of ice that allows light to pass through.
This timepiece is provided with additional black Velcro and white rubber straps, which can be easily swapped with the titanium bracelet using the quick strap-change mechanism on the back of the case.
The DEFY Extreme Glacier is made in a limited edition of 50 pieces, available exclusively at ZENITH physical and online boutiques.

During LVMH Watch Week (January 2023) in Singapore, Swiss luxury watch brand TAG Heuer announced the Carrera Chronograph 60th Anniversary limited edition.
The iconic Carrera watch was launched in 1963. Known for its classic elegant design with an ultra-legible dial and superior performance, it has been preferred by many motorsports legends and movie stars.
In 2023, Tag Heuer is celebrating the 60th anniversary of this legendary chronograph. Boasting a classic panda dial, the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph 60th Anniversary is the first limited edition series to mark the 60th Anniversary of the Carrera.
Limited to 600 pieces, this commemorative watch (Tag Heuer reference CBK221H.FC8317) takes inspiration from the Heuer Carrera reference 2447 SN of the late 1960s.
The first-generation Carrera model had a hand-wound Valjoux chronograph movement and either a silvered or black dial in a variety of configurations, sometimes with the addition of a scale around the dial periphery. At the end of the 1960s, a second series was added to the line-up with either a silvered dial and black subdials, or the other way around, known respectively as ‘panda’ and ‘reverse panda’.
Heuer Carrera Reference 2447 SN
The Heuer Carrera 2447 SN had a silvered dial with black subdials. This easy to read high-contrast dial color theme is better known as panda.
Building on the success of the earliest Carreras, the 2447 SN further improved readability at a glance with clever design touches. They included stripes down the hour markers to give them extra clarity, hour and minute hands with stripes down the centre for the same effect, double stops at 12 so it was clear when the chronograph was zeroed, and white hands and markings on the black counters to make them even more visible.
The colourways are lifted directly from vintage to new, including the black stripes down the central hands and hour markers, the double stops at 12, and of course the black counters with high-contrast white markings.
On a silver sunray-brushed dial, the vintage Heuer logo is placed below the name Carrera. The counter at 6 carries over the word ‘Swiss’, marking the watch’s Swiss Made status. The 60-minute and 12-hour counters are reversed, as well as the subtraction of the T from the dial which designated radioactive tritium on the original watch. This has been replaced with contemporary Super-LumiNova on the new model.
The 39mm diameter polished steel case with a raised profile ‘glass box’ in sapphire crystal, the vintage pushers, beige lume and slimline tension ring around the dial’s outer edge, gives the watch much of its retro look.
The sapphire crystal case back reveals Heuer 02, TAG Heuer’s 80-hour in-house automatic chronograph calibre. Also visible are the movement’s Geneva Stripes decoration, its column wheel and a special Carrera 60th Anniversary rotor.
The case back is engraved with the serial number, XXX/600, and with note of its 100-metre water resistance. The watch comes with a perforated black calfskin leather racing strap with pin buckle.

During the LVMH Watch Week 2023 in Singapore, TAG Heuer unveiled a carbon version of the iconic Monza watch.
A modern homage to the deep-seated bond between TAG Heuer and motorsports competitions, the new Monza Flyback Chronometer comes with a 42-mm case, made of ultra-lightweight and resistant carbon.
Its striking black dial features a two-register layout with a translucent fumé blue sapphire crystal chronograph counter at 3 and the permanent second at 6 o’clock. The unique skeletonized dial reveals the mechanical movement underneath.
At 9 o’clock, the date window is in blue luminescent, a first for TAG Heuer, and the blue lacquered indexes and black and white lacquered hours and minutes hands are applied with Super-LumiNova® for optimal legibility in low light.
The TAG Heuer Monza Flyback Chronometer is powered by the in-house Calibre Heuer 02 Flyback, a COSC certified chronograph movement.
The notable advantage of a flyback function is the ability to reset the chronograph without stopping it, using the black DLC steel pushbuttons.
The watch features a tachymeter scale which indicates average speed for a 1-kilometer or 1-mile distance, measured using the indicator on the black flange, as well as a pulsometer, which helps determine one’s heart rate per minute.
Red details, on the dial such as the sub-counter hands and the framing of the date window evoke exhilarating speed and racing hearts. They contrast elegantly against the black dial and case and the bright blue indexes, seconds hand and stitching on the custom textile strap.
The original Heuer Monza was introduced in 1976 to celebrate Niki Lauda’s historic 1975 victory in the F1 World Championship. It was one of the first black-coated watches of the era; the first reference 150.501 was powered by the Calibre 15 with its signature running second at 10 o’clock, and it was later complimented with a version powered by the Calibre 12 thanks to its resounding success.
The TAG Heuer Monza was modernly revived in the early 2000’s and reintroduced occasionally since then.
Available from January 2023, the Monza Flyback Chronometer is presented in a special packaging and will be sold exclusively in TAG Heuer boutiques, on the brand’s e-commerce websites and in selected retail stores.

Swiss watch brand Aquastar expands its Deepstar II diving chronograph collection by adding the new “Vintage Silver” model.
Inspired by the historic Aquastar Deepstar Chronograph, the Deepstar II retains the straight-lugged case design, patented bi-directional rotating bezel, and the emblematic “cyclops” running seconds counter.
Rated for 200 meters of water resistance, this 37mm diameter diving watch in steel is powered by a top-grade Swiss-made automatic movement.
The new Deepstar II model with a vintage style silver dial is a thoughtful tribute to diving’s earliest explorers and aquanauts, their groundbreaking missions, and the innovative dive watches that they wore.

In collaboration with Grail Watch, Franck Muller revives three of its iconic chronographs. The first two are bi-compax chronographs powered by new old-stock Lemania movements. The third one is a double sided rattrapante.
Offering the most ambitious limited edition timepieces, Grail Watch was established by Wei Koh, founder of The Rake and Revolution Magazines. This new venture unveiled its first chapter earlier this year named “Dream Collaborations,” with Grail Watch 1, a collaboration between Ressence and Alain Silberstein. Chapter 2 of Grail Watch is the “Revival of Past Icons.”
Franck Muller, which is celebrating the 30th anniversary this year, has recently recreated the 90s chronograph series in partnership with Grail Watch.
These Franck Muller Chronographs were origially introduced in the ’90s in two configurations. The first was a two counter version with a silver dial featuring applied Breguet ‘12’ and ‘6’ and applied dot markers. This bi-compax watch was 36mm in diameter. And then there was a black dial version with three counters with an applied Breguet ‘12’ and applied dot markers as well, and this watch was 37mm in diameter.
Commissioned by an Italian retailer in the ’90s, these Franck Muller Chronographs were made in small series of either 40 or 50 units each time. In some versions, the number of the watch was actually printed on the dial.
Rated as antimagnetic, these Franck Muller chronographs were made with steel cases, and had solid case-backs. Their timeless design evokes the legendary Patek chronograph references 130 and 1463 of the ’40s and ’50s. The cases were smooth and rounded with long elegant lugs and concave bezels. Pushers were pump-style while the crowns were large and flat.
The movement used in these bi-compax and tri-compax watches was Lemania 1874. This calibre is a shuttle cam-operated, laterally coupled chronograph movement introduced to the Speedmaster back in 1968. It was the successor to the column wheel-activated 2310 designed by Albert Piguet in the 1940s, and because its cam was much easier to set up, it was considered more reliable.
While the older watches were 36mm and 37mm in diameter, the new watches announced this year feature 39mm cases. At the same time, they stay extremely faithful to the case of the original watches with the same style, finish and the type of flat, oversized vintage-themed crown and large capped pushers.
The new watches can be distinguished from the 90s models by their fluted pusher caps, based on the style used by François Borgel. The dial design is also accurate to that of the original down to the texture, precise typography and colors used.
To equip the new models, the company has used new old stock Lemania 1874 movements from the 1990s. All of them were beautifully finished with Côtes de Genève and bearing the Franck Muller signature on their bridges.
The bi-compax and tri-compax models come with two caseback choices: Solid steel and transparent. The solid case-back ensures to retain the antimagnetic nature of the original watch. It allows people to engrave their initials or a message should they wish, and. Meanwhile, a sapphire crystal back allows the viewer to admire the historical movement beating inside.
These watches are available with simple calf straps, a vintage tan colored one for the silver dial version and a black one for the black dial variant.
In addition to these Lemania 1874 powered chronographs, Grail Watch presents a double sided chronograph launched to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Franck Muller manufacture.
This 39mm diameter manual-winding chronograph in stainless steel comes with two display sides. The front dial indicates hours & minutes at 6 o’clock, seconds at 9 o’clock, and chronograph with rattrapante (seconds counter in the center, minutes counter at 3 o’clock). The rear side offers Pulsometer, Tachymeter and Telemeter functions.
The Lemania bi-compax with silver dial and the Lemania tri-compax with black dial in 39mm steel case will each be made in 50 examples, following the original allocation numbers from the ’90s. The double-faced rattrapante with a steel 39mm case will be made in just 30 pieces.
Watches 1 to 10 of each timepiece will be sold together in box sets of three watches, while watches numbered 11 to 30 of the Double Sided Chronograph and 11 to 50 of the two Lemania-based Franck Muller Chronographs will be sold as individual pieces.

Geneva-based independent watch brand ArtyA presents a new chronograph collection that has been crafted and cared for down to the last detail.
ArtyA Son of Gears Red Chrono Crystal, Unique Piece
All the pieces in this collection are equipped with handmade enamel dials with a huge range of color options. To adorn these colors, ArtyA had to develop indexes capable of standing out. Available in rhodium-plated steel, black, or 5N gold, they are always perfectly integrated to crown the different enamel colors.
ArtyA Son of Gears Yas Chrono Crystal
ArtyA has proposed a range of three different cases for its new chronographs. The first two are in steel, rhodium-plated or with black DLC treatment. With their timeless design, they give a sporty or distinguished appearance depending on the composition in which they are associated.
ArtyA Son of Gears Black & Gold Chrono Crystal
The third case is inevitably the product of ArtyA’s specialization in this cutting-edge material, sapphire crystal. With its unequalled transparency and lightness, it transmits an unparalleled energy to its wearer. Thanks to its luminosity, it is without a doubt the best way to highlight its enamel dial and skeletonized movement.
ArtyA Son of Gears Blue Chrono Crystal Unique Piece
The new ArtyA movement is a skeletonized automatic chronograph with date. The complexity of its heart can be admired through its entirely hand-cut plate inspired by the iconic ArtyA Shams design.
ArtyA Son of Gears Kaki & Gold Steel Chrono
With a deep color work, it can be weighted in a tone on tone or offer a contrast between the plate and bridges highlighting the sunburst of its Shams skeleton as on this edition here on the right. The whole movement is designed for harmony between functions, art and aesthetics.
ArtyA Son of Gears Brown Steel Black Chrono
Its imposing oscillating weight can be seen on the back of the piece, moving above a magnificent watchmaking spectacle. The whole is pleasantly visible thanks to its large opening.

ZENITH presents its most advanced and complicated chronograph movement to date – equipped with two independent tourbillon mechanisms – to the DEFY Extreme line. For the first time, this exceptional 1/100th of a second high-frequency chronograph movement will join the DEFY Extreme core collection in two serially produced references.
Constructed like no other chronograph movement, it is equipped with two independent tourbillons completing rotations in 60 seconds for the time-keeping tourbillon and 5 seconds for the chronograph’s tourbillon, making it among the fastest tourbillons ever made, as well as the only 1/100th of a second chronograph, beating at the phenomenal rate of 360’000 VpH.
Perfectly suitable for housing such an intricate and complex movement, the Zenith DEFY Extreme Double Tourbillon’s angular and robust case measures 45mm wide and is available in two executions.
The first is crafted entirely in titanium with a mix of satin-brushed, polished and matte surfaces including the bracelet, while the second is done in carbon fiber with sandblasted matte rose gold twelve-sided bezel and pusher protectors on a black textured rubber strap.
Its open dial, with applied chronograph counters and tinted transparent sapphire elements, allows for an unobstructed view of the groundbreaking movement and its two tourbillon mechanisms with star-shaped cages.
The movement’s open and satin-brushed bridges are coated in a layer of black PVD. Then, the edges of those bridges are highlighted in rose gold color, revealing the geometric forms of the bridges in a true departure from traditional watchmaking decoration techniques.
The DEFY Extreme Double Tourbillon will be available from physical and online Zenith boutiques around as well as official retailers around the world.

Unveiled in January 2022, the Iron Walker Chronograph XL by Wempe Glashütte I/SA is available in black and Nordic blue versions.
The Glashütte based independent family-owned company has been manufacturing precise timepieces in its own watchmakers’ ateliers since 2006. Each one of them has been certified as a chronometer according to the stringent German ISO 3159 standard at the observatory in Glashütte.
In 2020, the company’s two wristwatch lines — Wempe Chronometerwerke, which has its own manufacture calibers, and Wempe Zeitmeister, which features mechanical basic models — were joined by a third: the Wempe Iron Walker, a strikingly sporty stainless-steel watch with an integrated metal wristband. The brand has now launched the new Iron Walker Chronograph XL.
The first automatic chronograph in the Iron Walker line is a powerful combination of functionality, chronometric precision, and sporty features. Wempe Glashütte I/SA is now launching the Iron Walker Chronograph XL in a large format and two color versions as a daily-use alternative for first movers: with a dial in matte black or Nordic blue.
The bezels and the chronograph buttons are coated with natural rubber in harmonizing colors. In addition to the stainless-steel wristbands, exceptionally durable and supple rubber wristbands are also being offered in the Iron Walker line for the first time.
The stainless-steel case with its striking 44-millimeter diameter was designed for style-conscious people who decide for themselves. It creates space for more distinct figures — the best precondition for effortless readability of the chronograph functions.
In addition, a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating on both sides and a Super-LumiNova® coating on the hour and minute hands, as well as the steel hour markers, provide such clearly legible contrasts that the timer can be used in all lighting conditions. An additional function is performed by the rubber-coated stainless-steel bezel, which acts as a shock absorber to lessen impacts.
The totalizers are edged with stainless steel and stand out to provide better readability, with the twelve-hour counter situated at six o’clock and the thirty-minute counter at twelve o’clock. To ensure that the stop-seconds can be read precisely when the stopwatch feature is used, it is centrally mounted and points to the tachymeter scale.
The small seconds subdial is placed at nine o’clock and the date is displayed at three o’clock. This clear arrangement of elements on the dial ensures an optimal overview and gives the watch a harmonious overall appearance.
The chronograph is controlled with two pushbuttons located directly next to the side protectors of the crown. The crown is a screw-in version, as is the case back, in order to guarantee water-resistance to 10 bar (100 meters).
The watch is powered by a proven Swiss self-winding chronograph movement (Caliber SW500) with a power reserve of 48 hours nonstop and a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz).
To ensure that Wempe standards are met, it is mounted in the company’s own ateliers in Glashütte, Saxony, and optimized with an eccentric fine adjustment. This work is performed with such precision that it passes the stringent German chronometric testing according to the ISO 3159 standard, with a maximum average rate variation of only two seconds per day when mounted in the case.

Wempe Glashütte presents Antique editions of its iconic Zeitmeister Aviator Watches.
The Wempe Glashütte I/SA Zeitmeister collection has been offering aviator watches since 2010. They take inspiration from the history of the Wempe Company as a specialist of ship chronometers and extremely accurate timepieces.
During its expansion in the 1930s and the subsequent war years, the German Luftwaffe had an increasing need for observation watches for its pilots. Wempe was one of the companies commissioned to produce aviator watches with precise specifications.
These specifications included the typography of the luminous numerals on the black dial, the line markings and the 55-millimetre diameter of the case. The center seconds hand had to have a counterweight, and it could be stopped so that it could be precisely adjusted according to the time signal. Another important feature was an easy-to-grip crown that could be adjusted even if the pilot was wearing gloves.
Thanks to their dark dial, functional typography, and triangular index at 12 o’clock, the models of today’s Wempe Zeitmeister line are immediately recognizable as aviator watches.
All of them are powered by Swiss self-winding movements with a fine adjustment mechanism specially designed by Wempe. The screwed-down steel case back bears a high-relief engraving of the observatory in Glashütte where the watches have passed their chronometric testing.
The rugged grey-black steel case emphasizes the functional nature of this aviator watch. The PVD coating is reminiscent of the casing of historical onboard instruments.
Both go well with the classic typography on the dark dial and the typical triangular index at 12 o’clock. The 45-millimeter diameter watch is worn with a robust handmade canvas strap.
The Swiss self-winding movement that powers the Chronograph XL is supplemented at Wempe with in-house designed stop-seconds function. Each of these movements then undergo chronometer quality test at the observatory in Glashütte. The large diameter dial ensures exceptional readability of the time and date, as well as the stopped hours, minutes and seconds.
Wempe Zeitmeister Aviator Watch Large Date Antique
With a rugged PVD coated steel case, this pilot watch evokes historical cockpit technology. This 42mm watch with an austere geometry offers two additional functions whose design is also reminiscent of onboard instruments: a large date display and a comfortably legible second time zone.
A handmade canvas strap completes the aviator look. In preparation for the chronometer testing at the observatory in Glashütte, the Swiss self-winding movement, like the movements of all other Zeitmeister watches, is equipped with a stop-seconds function designed in-house by Wempe.
The Zeitmeister Aviator Watch Chronograph XL Antique and the Zeitmeister Aviator Watch Large Date Antique are each available in a limited edition of 100 watches.

Swiss luxury watch brand Breitling and the Australian custom motorcycle and surf outfitter Deus Ex Machina have teamed up once again on a limited-edition Top Time Deus chronograph. It’s the second collaboration between the two brands, following their first sold-out watch release in 2021.
Limited to 2000 pieces, the new Top Time Deus is built for open-road adventure with luminescent indexes and a white lacquered dial contrasted by sky-blue on its subdials and speed-measuring tachymeter scale.
While the color scheme is all new, the details that made the first collab so successful are back, including the lightning-bolt-shaped chronograph hand, mushroom pushers, racing-themed calfskin leather strap and caseback engraving of a Deus bike and rider designed by Deus creative director Carby Tuckwell. Each caseback is marked with the “One of 2000” limitation.
Each new Top Time Deus comes with a co-branded waxed-canvas travel tote. Breitling and Deus have also partnered on a new line of clothing and accessories that fans of the brands can only get their hands on at six Breitling flagship stores worldwide (Seoul Hannam, New York Madison Avenue, Milan, London New Bond Street, London Regent Street and Sydney).

After four races on three continents across wildly different terrains, the grand finale of Extreme E electric rally racing showdown of 2022 is taking place in the seaside city of Punta del Este in Uruguay.
To mark this event, ZENITH is presenting the DEFY Extreme E “Energy X Prix”, a limited edition of 20 pieces that combines carbon fibre and titanium with striking purple accents that evoke streaks of lightning in a stormy sky. True to the purpose of ExtremeE and ZENITH’s HORIZ-ON initiative, it incorporates recycled and upcycled elements from the championship in the strap as well as the packaging.
Rugged in form and function, the DEFY Extreme E “Energy X Prix” is the world’s lightest and most robust 1/100th of a second chronograph, designed to brave the harshest environments in some of the world’s most remote destinations.
Tried and tested on the electric rally’s off-road courses, it is crafted in lightweight, durable and visually striking carbon fibre. The DEFY Extreme E “Energy X Prix”’s angular geometry exuding is further emphasised by the contrasting microblasted titanium pusher protectors and twelve-sided bezel.
The open multi-layered dial consists of tinted sapphire crystal elements, embellished with purple accents that evoke the lightning-lit skies of Uruguay. Partially visible through the dial as well as the sapphire case back is the fastest automatic high-frequency chronograph calibre in production, offering 1/100th of a second time measurements, with two escapements independently beating at 5Hz (36’000 VpH) for the timekeeping part and 50Hz (360’000 VpH) for the chronograph function.
The movement is also visible through the sapphire display back, emblazoned with the Energy X Prix logo.
Sustainability and environmental awareness are the forefront of ZENITH and Extreme E’s partnership. The DEFY Extreme E “Energy X Prix” is delivered with a rubber strap infused with materials of upcycled Continental CrossContact tires that were used in the first season’s races.
Matching the Energy X Prix purple accents on the dial, the Velcro strap features a black rubber central element surrounded by a purple cordura-effect rubber inlay. The DEFY Extreme E “Energy X Prix” is delivered with two additional straps in black rubber and black Velcro, which can be easily swapped without any tools by using the case back’s ingenious and intuitive quick strap-change mechanism.
The DEFY Extreme E “Energy X Prix” comes packaged in a suitably sturdy waterproof and crushproof watch case inspired by the extreme conditions of the rally, incorporating various upcycled elements from the side-lines of the first season’s races.
The case’s lid coating is made from E-grip recycled tires, while the plate covering is made from parts of an Extreme E racing tarpaulin.
The DEFY Extreme E “Energy X Prix” will be made in a limited edition of only 20 pieces and will be available exclusively at ZENITH physical and online boutiques around the world.

Romaric André, the founder of seconde/seconde/ disrupts Nivada Grenchen’s CHRONOMASTER AVIATOR SEA DIVER watch with another hallmark pop-minimalist graphic twist. The CHAOSMASTER watch in stainless steel is available in three emoji variations, each one produced in a limited edition of 33 pieces.

The CHAOSMASTER comes on a Tropic-type rubber strap, directly inspired by the diving watch straps of the middle of the last century.
