From afar, the watch industry may seem unhurried. But every passing day brings about new timepieces from brands big, small, new and old.
Below, find about a dozen new releases from the likes of G-Shock, TAG Heuer and others. Together, they show an industry that never stops ticking — and, centuries later, can still find the time to surprise you.
Best New Gear: This article is part of an ongoing series collecting the most important new watches, gadgets, pocket knives and more. Catch up on other releases.

Unimatic Modello Tre U3S-HS
Representing Unimatic’s first-ever automatic chronograph, the Modello Tre U3S-HS houses a Swiss-made Sellita SW510 BH b calibre. It also features an exclusive Henry Singer gray ceramic diving bezel insert, along with Super-LumiNova BGW09 white markers. The watch is limited to just 36 pieces.

Formex Field Automatic Gen. 2
Formex’s modern field watch, the Field Automatic, gets a dial upgrade in its second generation. The formerly flat dial now has a sunken hour marker track and comes in three new nature-inspired colors. Although the grade two titanium case retains the same shape, it now has a lighter bead-blasted finish. Each watch comes with a selection of three elastic nylon straps with velcro closure and four leather straps with quick-release pins and Formex’s patented Fine-Adjustment Deployment Clasp.

TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph x Gulf
No watch brand has a stronger tie to auto racing history than TAG Heuer, and the crown jewel of that heritage is the Monaco Chronograph. First released in 1969, it achieved iconic status on the wrist of Steve McQueen in the 1971 film Le Mans. As the new official timekeeper of F1, TAG Heuer is paying tribute to the watch and the film. The white dial with vertical racing stripes is a nod to McQueen’s racing suit and car from the film, the dial logo is the original Monaco over the Heuer symbol from the original and the strap is made of the same flame retardant fabric worn by racing drivers and made by the same company that made McQueen’s suit for Le Mans. Only 971 pieces were made in reference to the year of the movie’s release.

Certina DS Action Diver
Boasting Certina’s new DS Concept Extreme Shock Resistance housing, an improvement on the brand’s technology from 1959, this stunning and refined diver is also extremely durable, resistant to shocks, vibrations, impacts, magnetism and more. However, while it sounds like a G-Shock, it looks more like a high-end Seiko or Tudor Black Bay — which is a very good thing, especially when you consider how relatively affordable they are (even for the titanium version).
