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 Omega, Seiko, Timex 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.

Yema Granvelle CMM.20
Yema is known for tool watches, but dresses up well with the Granvelle CMM.20. The 39mm brushed steel case frames a guilloche dial rippling outward from the small seconds dial, which has a centrally oriented matching texture. The dial is available in blue, green and gray, each coming with a brown leather strap with a steel deployment clasp. It is powered by Yema’s in-house CMM.20 micro-rotor automatic movement, with a 70-hour power reserve, allowing for a scant 8mm thick case.

Serica Ref. 5303 PLD
Serica worked directly with the French Navy’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit to design a watch that meets their specific needs. The key features are the dual-scale dive bezel, displaying meters and minutes to give an instant reading on working time at any depth, a “fat lollipop” second hand for enhanced legibility, and no magnetic signature. That last feature is key for not triggering explosive devices. Only 350 units will be released to the public, and they will be available on May 20.

Marathon SSNAV-D ‘Blue Yonder’
Marathon’s military grade dive and field watches are predominantly black and brushed steel, with the occasional white dial and khaki PVD coating. But this limited edition Steel Navigator introduces a deep blue dubbed ‘Blue Yonder.’ The 41mm steel case, featuring a signature lug-to-lug crown guard, holds a navy blue steel bezel and navy blue dial. Tritium tubes on the hands and hour markers provide continuous glow in low-light conditions. It runs on an ETA caliber F06.412 quartz movement.

Omega Railmaster
Omega revamped the Railmaster with its first significant update since 2017. The hour and minute hands remain the same shape as the Professional series, while the second hand mirrors the current Seamaster Aqua Terra. Designed to be resistant to magnetic fields from its inception, the new 38mm version can withstand 15,000 Gauss. It comes in two dial configurations: a central seconds with a gray sunburst gradient and a small seconds with a tan sunburst gradient.
