New Releases from Seiko, IWC, Selten, and More

Seiko Presage Classic Series x Tradman's Bonsai

Seiko has teamed up with the Tokyo collective Tradman's Bonsai to create the Presage Classic Series HCC009J1, a timepiece inspired by the image of a Japanese black pine bathed in moonlight. The watch features a 38mm gold PVD-coated steel case, measuring 12.9mm thick, with a domed sapphire crystal and a sapphire exhibition caseback. It offers water resistance up to 100 meters.

The dial, finished in a shade called matsuba-iro (pine needle green), has a bark-inspired texture. Gold indices and an alpha handset complement the dial, while the in-house automatic Calibre 6R51 powers the watch with a 72-hour power reserve. The price is set at €1,400.

IWC Big Pilot's Watch Perpetual Calendar ProSet 140 Years Mercedes-Benz

IWC celebrates Mercedes-Benz's 140th anniversary with a special edition Big Pilot's Watch Perpetual Calendar ProSet. This model extends the brand's long-standing partnership with the automotive giant, moving beyond their Formula 1 team editions. The 42.9mm steel case retains the Big Pilot's signature diamond-shaped crown and dial opening, with sapphire crystals on both front and back and water resistance to 100 meters.

The gloss black dial features solid gold markers framing the Calibre 82655's perpetual calendar, which can be adjusted both forwards and backwards from a single crown position. It displays the date, day, month, four-digit year, and a double moon phase. Priced at €40,900, this limited edition is a collector's piece.

Selten x Watch Ho & Co(mmunity) Yum Cha (飲茶)

Watch Ho & Co(mmunity) and Selten have collaborated on the Yum Cha (飲茶), a watch that pays homage to family memories. The timepiece features a hand-engraved fumé Grand Feu amber enamel dial, a process that requires 16.5 hours of meticulous work and has a rejection rate of 40%. The engraved pattern is inspired by the bamboo weave of a Dim Sum steamer, adding a personal and cultural touch.

Limited to just 100 pieces, the Yum Cha is priced at US,950.

TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph x Zandvoort F1

TAG Heuer marks the final Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort with two 38mm Formula 1 Solargraph limited editions, inspired by the circuit's vibrant orange atmosphere. Available on either an orange rubber strap or a three-link steel bracelet, both models combine retro Formula 1 styling with the practicality of TAG Heuer's light-powered Solargraph movement.

Limited to 1,500 and 1,000 pieces respectively, the duo captures the excitement of one of Formula 1's most passionate race weekends as Zandvoort prepares to exit the calendar. Prices are CHF2,000 for the rubber strap and CHF2,100 for the steel bracelet.

Fears Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour 'Ultimus'

Fears is sending off the Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour with a limited edition created in collaboration with Andrew Morgan Watches. The Fears Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour 'Ultimus' contrasts the 1920s influence of the Brunswick Jump Hour with a modern dial construction that uses sapphire crystals and lumed ceramic.

It will be available during a limited ordering window from August 10th to August 17th, 2026. Prices are £4,450 on a strap and £4,750 on a bracelet.

Anders & Co AC1 Chronograph Stone Dial

Anders & Co brings its signature stone dials to its debut model with the AC1 Chronograph stone dial collection. Offered in five natural stones—mother of pearl, black onyx, red jasper, turquoise, and bloodstone—the 38mm steel case features updated lug geometry, finishing, and pushers, plus water resistance up to 50 meters. New Dauphine hands with lumed centres replace the original leaf hands.

A vintage tachymeter and 60-minute/24-hour sub-dial layout carry over, powered by the Seiko VK64 mechaquartz movement, on a black leather strap. Prices start at 6,900 SEK (~£537).

Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch Mission to the Sun – Solar Eclipse

Swatch and Omega follow up the Mission to the Moon 1969 with a quick sequel, the Mission to the Sun – Solar Eclipse, timed to the total solar eclipse crossing Spain on 12 August 2026. Built on the standard yellow Mission to the Sun Bioceramic case, the headline change is a black pusher at 2 o'clock nodding to totality, plus a New Moon motif on the battery cover.

All the usual MoonSwatch elements carry over—asymmetrical Bioceramic case, tachymeter scale with its dot over 90—and it was sold exclusively for one day (August 12, 2026) via select Swatch stores in Bilbao, Ibiza, and Valencia. The price is €280.

Maen Manhattan 37 Ultra-Thin Stone Dial Collection

Maen adds three natural stone dials—Black Onyx, Golden Swan, and Snowflake Obsidian—to its Manhattan 37 Ultra-Thin, joining the permanent collection. The 37mm steel case is unchanged at just 7.1mm thick, with an integrated bracelet and octagonal bezel alternating brushed and polished surfaces, water-resistant to 100 meters.

The stripped-back dial drops applied markers and small seconds for a new pencil-style handset, powered by the hand-wound La Joux-Perret D101 with a 50-hour reserve, visible through the sapphire caseback. Price is to be confirmed.

Moritz Grossmann Tefnut 36 Silver-Plated by Friction Turquoise Blue

Moritz Grossmann continues honouring founder Carl Moritz Grossmann's 200th birthday with the Tefnut 36, downsizing its dress watch line into a slim 36mm case with a turquoise-accented dial. The dial revives 19th-century silver-plating by friction, with turquoise-lacquered Roman numerals engraved into brass and hand-annealed blued steel hands, limited to 12 pieces.

The in-house hand-wound Calibre 102.1 is just 3.5mm thick, with a hand-engraved balance cock, gold chatons in place of synthetic rubies, and a 48-hour reserve. The price is €29,000.

Lima GMT Transit The Palette

Lima brings its Dieter Rams-inspired design language to the GMT category with the GMT Transit The Palette, referencing the colour swatches used on Braun's household appliances during his tenure. The 37.5mm brushed steel case is 12mm thick with a double-domed K1 crystal, 50m water resistance, and a knurled crown engraved with Lima's "L" logo.

A white dial with coloured index plots pairs skeletonised black hands with a red-tipped GMT hand, powered by the Seiko NH34 caller-style GMT with a 41-hour reserve. The price is US0.
