11 New Watches You Missed from Seiko, Tissot, Christopher Ward and More

The Twelve and Bel Canto may be the Christopher Ward watches of the moment. However, CW’s signature dive watch isn’t giving up easy. After a luminous, award-winning update in the fall, the Trident has now received a brilliant new dial by way of the C60 Sapphire Edge. The watches features a dial and caseback to reveal the ultrathin Sellita SW300 movement, which helps to shrink the case to just 10.7mm thick.

Following the success of the PRX collection, Tissot reintroduced the PRC 100, a dressy modern steel sports watch with a sleek 39mm wide and 9.2mm thick case. It’s powered by a brand-new solar quartz movement that absorbs light energy through a nearly invisible network of cells worked into the crystal. It comes in stainless steel with a silver or blue dial and black PVD-coated steel with a black dial. Additionally, you can choose between a leather pin-buckle strap or a steel H-link bracelet.

Seiko is celebrating 60 years of producing some of the best dive watches of all time by giving its most extreme diver a celebratory makeover. The Marinemaster already boasted a 600m diver rating and now comes with Seiko’s new caliber 8L45 automatic movement with a 72-hour power reserve. This limited-edition reference SLA081J1 has a decorative shinkai dial inspired by the deep ocean and is limited to only 600 units.

Seiko revived a King Seiko collection from the 1970s with a new, era-specific case and dial. The original Vanac collection featured a wide range of unusual geometric cases, domed crystals and ornately colored dials. This revival consists of a single, brand-new case and dial design that is loyal to the original but utilizes Seiko’s modern advancements in refining and polishing. The dial comes in three colors, each representing the Tokyo skyline during different hours of the day. White for dawn, purple for twilight and blue for midnight. The Vanac collection runs on Seiko’s brand new caliber 8L45 automatic movement, equipped with a 72-hour power reserve and an accuracy of +10 to -5 seconds per day. It will be available from Seiko and authorized dealers in July 2025.

Based on the Fifty Fathoms Tech Gombessa, this remix takes one of Blancpain’s most technical divers and transforms it into a more refined daily wear-friendly watch. Two millimeters are shaved off the case, bringing it down to a still sizeable yet more manageable 45mm, and the rotating dive bezel gets swapped to a more classic 60-minute version. It also sees a movement change to the brand’s caliber 1315A automatic. However, it’s still made out of super-sturdy, lightweight titanium and remains an exceptionally capable diver despite its many stylistic changes.

Citizen introduced two new references to its Promaster Professional Diver series, the black dial BN1024-01E and the red dial BN1024-01Z. Most of the design language comes from the popular BN0156-05E, including a 46-millimeter stainless steel case with sapphire crystal, but the big upgrade comes with the movement. Both watches are powered by Citizen’s caliber E365 Eco-Drive movement, which Citizen claims can run for 365 days on a single full charge of the solar-powered battery. It will be available in April 2025.

Todd Snyder, the man, worked with the two co-founders of Unimatic to design a watch that matched his company’s aesthetic language. The matte black case is simultaneously rugged and sophisticated, and Snyder’s signature olive green appears on the dial and band. It runs on a Seiko-produced VK64 meca-quartz movement and is limited to only 100 units.

This is the first regular production Breitling to use the watchmaker’s impossibly complex B19 automatic perpetual calendar chronograph movement. The 43mm case has an ice-blue dial and is equipped with either a stainless steel seven-link bracelet or a black alligator leather three-fold buckle strap.

Seiko teamed up with legendary American hot rod parts manufacturer Mooneyes for a 5 Sports reference that celebrates both brands’ history in auto racing. Mooneyes was founded in the 1950s and is among the most respected names in American and Japanese hot rod culture. The very first Seiko 5 Sports collection, in 1968, featured references designed for auto racing. This is a limited edition of 1,500 units and will be available in March.

Scottish watchmaker Anordain returns porcelain dial production back to the British Isles with the Type 2 Porcelain. The glossy black field-watch-inspired dial has a modern minimalist handset marked with lume. The 40mm case reference launches in March, and a smaller 36mm case is coming later in 2025. It runs on a La Joux-Perret reference G101 automatic movement and comes on a choice of five different leather straps, including three cordovan leather colors.

Hamilton revamped the quartz version of the legendary Khaki Field watch, which now has a new dial layout–including the vintage “khaki” stamp at six o’clock–and a micro-blasted steel case. It comes in a Goldilocks-sized 38mm case and a vintage-faithful 33mm case, as well as five different dial colors. The best part is the ridiculously friendly price of $395 for the NATO strap and $445 for the three-link steel bracelet.
