Find the major watch releases of last year and why they matter right here. There are enough watches released each year that you wouldn’t be blamed for missing some of the coolest ones — but we’re going to make sure that doesn’t happen. We had our fantasies and predictions at the outset of the year, but what’s even better than being right is being pleasantly surprised by daring, creative or just plain beautifully conceived new watches. You’ll find those and more below.

The following watches are presented roughly in chronological order, and we’ll be adding more at the top on a regular basis. With dive computer functionality, many see Apple’s new smartwatch as taking aim at the traditional dive watch market where the previous Apple Watches couldn’t really compete. Notable Features: 100m water resistance, depth gauge, compass, emergency siren, 60 hours of battery life, GPS, customizable “Action Button,” larger screen, brighter display, apps and functionality for outdoor sports, etc. A new generation of the Pelagos has brought Tudor’s “other” dive watch into the wearability realm of the massively popular Black Bay Fifty-Eight. Just like the Pilot’s Watch Mark XX below, more IWC collections have gotten a similar, quite welcome treatment, including the Aquatimer. The brand’s dive watch line was long overdue for an in-house movement, and now that it’s got one its overall proposition is a whole lot more attractive. Based on the historic Mark XI, the 2016 Mark XVIII was what a lot of watch enthusiasts were waiting for — but not quite.

It captured the essence of the Mark XI and was a highly wearable 39mm, but some fans complained about minor design details and one major issue: it uses an off-the-shelf movement sourced from ETA. Notable Features: In-house automatic movement with 5-day power reserve, 10. In response to massive popularity, Casio is taking its 2100 series seriously. Hot on the heels of the groundbreakingly affordable Seiko 5 Sports GMT watch comes an answer from Citizen — the company that owns Bulova and Miyota. Having disappeared for a couple years from the Tudor catalog, the brand’s dedicated outdoor watch, the Ranger, has returned in an improved form. The story is similar to that of the IWC Mark XX above. Just when Citizen gets your attention with this strong competitor to the Seiko Presage line, they tell you that it’s only for the Japanese market.

Furlan Marri excited watch lovers with its refined but affordable quartz chronographs as its debut product, and now the brand is offering what collectors really want: an automatic movement. It’s not just any three-hand automatic movement, though, as it’s made by the relatively prestigious maker La Joux-Perret and it all comes in a package that’s as refined and vintage-inspired as the brand’s previous watch. The Yema Superman is a vintage classic, and its modern reissue is a favorite among affordable dive watches. In recent years, Oris has begun a tradition of releasing a special limited edition watch for its birthday. This year, the brand went further than a new version of an existing product, and resurrected a very cool design from the 1990s.

It features the brand’s unusual take on the second time zone function with, allowing the wearer to easily set the time forward and back using case side buttons. In an unusual collaboration, Zenith teamed up with a legendary independent watchmaker and an auction house to produce one of the most notable watches of the year. Wonders started on March 30 and saw many more exciting watch releases which we featured separately. Breguet’s world time watch, Hora Mundi, comes in a stunning new interpretation. With a creative design packed with details, the brand’s take on the world time function feels fresh — if boldly sized and very high-end. Shown above is a 2022 Breitling Navitimer measuring 43mm and with a “mint green” dial.

But it’s only one example of a collection the brand launched with a range of sizes and colors to mark the iconic line’s 70th anniversary. The minute hand acts like a normal minute hand. Sinn’s 556 is one of the German brand’s classics. A range of new dial colors, however, take the tool watch’s basic persona in a whole new direction. Funky LED watches have been a fun side dish to the broader vintage reissue trend, but Girard-Perregaux’s Casquette 2.
