There’s something in the horological air—brands are pushing out boundary-breaking designs and reviving archival gems with a fresh edge. Whether it’s spacefaring tributes or stealthy titanium divers, the latest crop of watches proves that innovation and nostalgia can share the same wrist:

NOMOS Club Campus “Starlight” and “Night Sky”

NOMOS injects a burst of colour into its minimalist (of course) Club Campus series. The new “Starlight” (a bright yellow) and “Night Sky” (a moody navy) variants blend quirky charm with daily wearability, in 36mm and 38.5mm sizes. Roman and Arabic numerals share dial space with a neon orange seconds hand—subtlety be damned. Hand-wound and robust, each features a solid steel caseback offered with free personalised engraving, doubling down on their role as milestone gift pieces. For once, sentiment and specs go hand-in-hand .

Bell & Ross BR 03 DIVER LUM Outline

Bell & Ross goes full Tron with the BR 03 DIVER LUM Outline—a 500-piece limited edition that outlines its indices and hands in Super-LumiNova® like they were sketched in neon. The robust 42mm matte ceramic case keeps things stealthy above water and secure below, with a 300m water resistance and a minimalist take on legibility. Inside ticks the BR-CAL.302-1 automatic movement with a 54-hour power reserve. It ships with both rubber and synthetic straps, because yes, you’re supposed to actually dive with it .

G-SHOCK MR-G “Goliath Frogman”

Inspired by the world’s largest frog (yes, really), the new MR-G “Goliath Frogman” is the latest tank from G-SHOCK’s top-shelf MR-G lineup. A titanium body, Dura Soft fluoro rubber strap, and ISO 200m dive rating make it as capable as it is cartoonishly tough. Throw in Tough Solar charging, atomic timekeeping, and an amphibious colour scheme of green and orange, and you’ve got a nearly-indestructable tool watch that looks like it was designed for a deep-sea anime protagonist .

Blancpain x Swatch “Green Abyss”

The Swatch x Blancpain series continues with the Green Abyss, a murky twist on the Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms line. This one’s got a military-style water contact indicator, a recycled NATO strap, and a nod to MIL-SPEC Blancpains from the ’50s—all housed in sustainable bioceramic. The movement? SISTEM51. The caseback? A digitally printed sea slug. It’s weird. It’s charming. It drops June 7, and it’s another one-per-customer scramble incoming .

Louis Vuitton Escale au Pont-Neuf Pocket Watch

If you’re looking for subtlety, look elsewhere. The Escale au Pont-Neuf is a maximalist marvel: an automaton pocket watch depicting Paris’ oldest bridge, with 13 animated elements, a minute repeater, and the most complex movement Louis Vuitton has ever made. It’s powered by the hand-wound LFT AU14.03 calibre and housed in a gem-set case. You also get a bespoke LV trunk and matching doctor’s bag, because why not turn horology into haute theatre?

Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute Scott Carpenter Centenary

Only 50 pieces exist of this platinum tribute to Scott Carpenter—the astronaut who first wore a Swiss wristwatch in space. It’s faithful to the original, complete with a 24-hour dial for life in orbit, mushroom pushers, and slide rule bezel. Inside beats the manually wound Breitling Calibre B02, COSC-certified and visible through a sapphire caseback etched with Mercury-Atlas 7 lore. A space watch for earthbound collectors with deep pockets .

Zenith DEFY Extreme Diver & Revival Diver Shadow

Zenith drops two Shadow divers that play up contrast and functionality. The 42.5mm Extreme Diver is a modern beast with 600m resistance, a helium valve, and the high-beat El Primero 3620 inside—complete with a see-through caseback, despite its saturation diving chops. Meanwhile, the Revival Diver brings back the 1969 DEFY Plongeur in a compact 37mm titanium case with a 14-sided bezel and yellow sapphire insert. Both are decked out in black and yellow, and built for the abyss .

Ulysse Nardin Freak X Gold Enamel

Limited to 120 pieces, the new Freak X Gold Enamel pairs silicon wizardry with enamel artistry from Donzé Cadrans. A rotating hour disc in blue guilloché enamel doubles as the dial, thanks to the Freak’s signature flying carousel movement. The 43mm case fuses PVD titanium with rose gold accents, while a bold alligator strap rounds out the look. Opulent? Definitely. Freaky? As ever.

Breguet Type XX 2075 Flyback Chronographs

Breguet’s Type XX 2075 returns with not one, but two refined expressions of its iconic pilot’s chronograph—both housed in warm-toned 18K Breguet gold cases, not steel as you might expect. The black dial version is all business: matte finish, luminous numerals, and a big-eye 15-minute counter, powered by the manual-wind calibre 7279. It’s a clean nod to aviation heritage, with a sapphire back showing off a hand-engraved Breguet 19 aircraft. The second version—limited to just 250 pieces—goes more classic dress watch than cockpit, with a brushed silver dial, gold markers, and a blue gradient leather strap. Inside ticks the calibre 7278, offering a similar 5Hz chronograph layout with flyback function.

Baume & Mercier Riviera Chronograph Flyback 10828

One of only 73 pieces globally, the Riviera Chronograph Flyback 10828 is now on display at Mumbai’s Terminal 2 via Ospree Duty Free—a first for an Indian airport. Built in a 41mm satin-finished steel case with a vertically brushed gilded dial, it’s a limited-edition love letter to the Riviera line’s 1973 origin. Flyback functionality, a tachymeter scale, Roman numerals, beige Superluminova, and a 42-hour power reserve round out the specs.

Jaipur Watch Company Royal Baagh Collection

India’s homegrown luxury watchmaker enters a new league with the launch of the Royal Baagh Collection. Designed by Gaurav Mehta, this Jaipur Watch Company release features a prowling tiger sculpted in macro-relief across the case and lugs, paired with a traditional floral-patterned dial and rotating calendar display. CNC-machined in a 42mm case with sapphire crystal front and back, it houses a Miyota 8215 automatic movement, merging durability with detailed Indian artistry.

Hublot Big Bang MECA-10 'Concrete Jungle'

Brutalist design meets Big Apple grit in the latest edition of Hublot’s Big Bang MECA-10, dubbed Concrete Jungle. Clad in microblasted grey ceramic with cut-outs revealing the industrial-looking skeleton movement, this 45mm beast celebrates New York’s raw energy with restraint and toughness. The in-house HUB1201 manual-wind calibre delivers a 10-day power reserve, visible via an indicator shaped like a garage door coil spring. Built for those who love their watches loud, large, and unapologetically urban.

NOAH x Timex 'Lighthouse Watch'

For their third collaboration, NOAH and Timex turn away from vintage cues and Tank silhouettes, opting instead for a minimalist maritime motif. The new Lighthouse Watch features a rounded 31x35mm case, a stripped-back dial devoid of numerals, and a serene black-and-white lighthouse illustration at its centre; what founder Brendon Babenzien—who grew up near a lighthouse—calls “a symbol of strength and guidance.” Built to be quietly reassuring rather than showy, it ditches previous moonphase flourishes in favour of pure sentiment and simplicity.

Louis Vuitton 'Keeper Watch'

Louis Vuitton’s Summer 2025 Virtuosity high jewellery line comes with a 110-piece mic-drop—and nestled within it is the new Keeper Watch, a glittering statement on craftsmanship and symbolism. Shaped like a watchful eye, it’s all about guardianship and inner vision—wrapped in white gold, snow-set diamonds, and radiant yellow gold accents. More sculpture than sport watch, the Keeper dials into LV’s high jewellery language with an artful blend of mysticism and maximalism. This isn’t for daily wear—it’s a legacy piece, and one hell of a conversation starter.
