A Classic Returns - The Omega Speedmaster 38mm Automatic Chronograph

While the 42mm Moonwatch is undeniably a classic, its size and manual-winding mechanism may not suit every enthusiast for daily wear—a factor that drove the creation of the Speedmaster Reduced. Launched in 1988, this 39mm automatic chronograph retained the core silhouette of the Omega Speedmaster clone family while offering greater wearability, making it a long-standing favorite among fans who appreciated the Speedmaster lineage but preferred smaller dimensions and automatic movements. The series later evolved toward a 38mm size, introducing a date display in 2010 and, in 2017, adopting oval sub-dials and a dual-bezel design. These updates lent the Speedmaster 38mm a more fashionable, refined aesthetic, though for purists familiar with the classic Moonwatch, the watch lost some of the crisp, utilitarian character of the original. Now, with the debut of the latest generation 38mm automatic chronograph, the most notable highlight is the design's return to the essence of the "classic."

The most pivotal change to the 2026 Omega Speedmaster 38mm is the removal of the somewhat controversial oval chronograph sub-dials found on the previous generation, reverting instead to a traditional circular layout. This seemingly simple adjustment has a profound impact on the watch's overall visual appeal; the circular sub-dials establish a more natural geometric harmony with the central hands and the tachymeter scale on the bezel, resulting in a more symmetrical dial—particularly in the stainless steel version with a black dial and no date display. Free from the visual clutter of a date window or excessive text, the watch’s overall aesthetic is far closer to the classic Speedmaster that enthusiasts know and love. This is precisely what makes the new model so appealing: rather than striving for novel or unconventional styling, it corrects the design trajectory of recent years. For fans who appreciate the lineage of the Speedmaster Reduced, this return to form is far more meaningful than the addition of yet another complication.

 The case retains the classic asymmetrical structure characteristic of the Speedmaster family, paired with bevelled lugs; viewed from the front, it unmistakably bears the iconic Speedmaster silhouette. Its 38mm size makes it highly versatile—avoiding the overwhelming wrist presence of some larger chronographs and making it better suited for everyday wear. Notably, this new model offers water resistance up to 100 meters—an impressive practical feature for an automatic chronograph intended for daily use—while the solid screw-in caseback is finished with an embossed Seahorse emblem, maintaining Omega's classic branding elements.

The matte black lacquered dial features white hands and hour markers, with Super-LumiNova ensuring crisp, clear legibility. A black anodized aluminum tachymeter bezel evokes a strong vintage chronograph aesthetic, complete with the "Dot Over Ninety" detail—a classic feature where the dot sits above the number 90 on the scale. While this detail might seem insignificant to the casual observer, for collectors familiar with Speedmaster history, it is often the key element that defines the watch's authentic character. Importantly, the black-dial version features a simplified dial layout—retaining only the brand logo and "Speedmaster" inscription—resulting in a much cleaner visual profile. The absence of a date window allows for a more balanced layout at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions, naturally restoring the watch's tool-watch spirit.

Another easily overlooked upgrade is the bracelet; the new model adopts a five-link design inspired by the special-edition gold Speedmaster of 1969. Combining a predominantly brushed finish with polished accents, it offers a more refined look than traditional fully brushed bracelets. The five-link structure also offers distinct advantages in wearability: the links provide greater flexibility, allowing the bracelet to contour naturally to the wrist. Additionally, the folding clasp incorporates a patented comfort adjustment system, enabling a two-step micro-adjustment (2.3mm per step) without the need for tools—a highly practical feature https://www.twatchclone.ru/. 

Regarding the movement, the black-dial, no-date model is powered by the automatic Calibre 3332, while the date-display models utilize the automatic Calibre 3330. Both feature a column-wheel chronograph mechanism, a Co-Axial escapement, and a silicon balance spring, and are COSC-certified chronometers with a 52-hour power reserve. As they are not Omega’s latest-generation Master Chronometer movements, they do not represent the brand's most cutting-edge technology in terms of movement evolution; however, the focus of these new Speedmaster 38mm models was never on stacking the latest specifications, but rather on harmoniously integrating size, dial layout, vintage-inspired details, and everyday wearability.

Zenith G.F.J. Calibre 135 Tantalum 98.1865.0135/21.C212

The Zenith G.F.J. series features a 39.15mm case crafted entirely from either precious metals (18K gold or platinum) or a special metal—specifically, tantalum (Ta). Tantalum is a rare metal characterized by a high melting point, corrosion resistance, and excellent ductility; while widely used in electronics, capacitors, high-temperature alloys, and medical devices, it is rarely seen in high-end watchmaking. Zenith was the first mainstream luxury watch brand to bring tantalum into the public eye. 

 

This limited-edition tantalum timepiece (Ref. 98.1865.0135/21.C212) showcases a black onyx dial encircled by a guilloché brick-pattern motif. The small seconds sub-dial at the 6 o'clock position is crafted from grey mother-of-pearl and complemented by white gold hands and hour markers set with 11 baguette-cut diamonds, reflecting a truly luxurious use of materials.

It is powered by a modern re-edition of the Cal.135 movement. The historical version of this movement (the Cal.135-O) won numerous chronometry awards between the 1940s and 1960s, establishing itself as one of the most decorated movements in the history of the brand—and indeed, of watchmaking. To honor its legendary status, Zenith collaborated with independent watchmaker Kari Voutilainen in 2022 to restore a selection of vintage Cal.135 movements, with a modern, mass-produced version set to launch in 2025.  Best luxury Breitling Avenger clone watches online, buy replica watches at firstwatchclone.

Sophisticated and Luxurious - Omega Constellation Watch 131.20.28.60.55.002

This 28mm Constellation timepiece is crafted from a combination of stainless steel and 18K yellow gold. Visually, it offers a rich color palette, while its composition blends the durability and scratch resistance of stainless steel with the luxury of precious metal—truly a watch that offers the best of both worlds. Moreover, compared to expensive all-gold models, this two-tone version is relatively accessible, offering excellent value. 

Beyond its two-tone design, the white mother-of-pearl dial and diamond hour markers significantly enhance the watch's appeal; the iridescence of the mother-of-pearl pairs beautifully with the fire of the diamonds, creating a look that is both radiant and elegant. Gold elements—including the hands, the Omega logo, the Constellation emblem, and the diamond settings—contrast with the soft, lustrous white mother-of-pearl, further elevating the timepiece's sense of luxury. Inside, the watch is powered by the Omega Calibre 4061, and the caseback features the embossed Constellation Observatory medallion.

Bell & Ross is a definitive authority in the realm of square-shaped watches. Inspired by the icy landscapes of the Arctic, the BR-05 Skeleton Arctic Blue features a skeletonized mechanical movement that appears as if submerged in the deep, azure waters of the polar seas.

Upon the watch's launch, the brand highlighted its dial construction: a combination of blue glass and a metallic blue angled flange—the latter set with twelve hour markers—creates the illusion of a blue movement immersed in icy water. 

The 40mm case size is perfectly suited to the vast majority of men's wrists, offering a commanding presence without appearing bulky. The stainless steel case features alternating polished and satin-brushed finishes, resulting in a superb tactile quality.

Will Crownless Watches Become a Trend in 2026?

First introduced in 2001, Ulysse Nardin’s Freak collection broke new ground in the industry with its "three-no" design—featuring no crown, no hands, and no dial. Today, an increasing number of brands have joined the "crownless" camp.

The quintessential "crownless" collection: Ulysse Nardin’s Freak. This year marks the 180th anniversary of Ulysse Nardin and the 25th anniversary of the Freak collection’s debut. At this pivotal moment, the brand has unveiled the "Super Freak"—a limited edition of just 50 pieces. This timepiece is the world's first self-winding watch to integrate both a double tourbillon and a carousel mechanism; its complexity stands as the pinnacle of the entire series.

The Ulysse Nardin Super Freak achieves breakthroughs on multiple fronts, notably the return of the seconds hand. It breaks with the Freak collection’s long-standing tradition of being "seconds-free," introducing an independent seconds display system for the very first time. Furthermore, the fusion of the double tourbillon and carousel structures represents a major innovation in this piece—a feat unprecedented within the industry. Visually, the minute-indicating bridge is fitted with two flying tourbillons crafted from titanium, each completing a full rotation every minute (60 seconds), while the flying carousel completes a full rotation every hour. The watch features a 44mm white gold case housing the brand’s in-house Caliber UN-252 movement. To accommodate such intricate mechanical architecture within a 44mm white gold case, this timepiece has set two world records: the "world's smallest vertical differential," measuring just 5mm in diameter, and the "world's most compact universal joint system," measuring 4.8mm in diameter.

IWC Pilot's Venturer Vertical Although the name of the Drive watch does not explicitly feature the word "aerospace," it was nonetheless designed with astronauts in mind. Its crownless design serves as a testament to its professional-grade functionality: recognizing that astronauts typically wear bulky gloves, this timepiece dispenses with the traditional crown structure. Instead, winding and time-setting operations are executed via a lever-style button located at the 9 o'clock position, which works in conjunction with a "vertical drive" clutch mechanism integrated into the rotating bezel. The watch features a 44.3mm case crafted from white zirconium oxide ceramic, complemented by a Ceratanium® bezel and case back. To enhance legibility, the dial is rendered in matte black, effectively minimizing glare. Furthermore, the FKM rubber strap—color-matched to the case—is both lightweight and supple, significantly enhancing wearer comfort. The automatic Caliber IW32722 movement has been optimized for microgravity environments, ensuring reliable performance even under zero-gravity conditions.

This year, Montblanc has spun off its Minerva timepieces from the 1858 collection, elevating them to the status of an independent brand. Among the inaugural releases from this newly independent entity is a crownless watch featuring a fluted rotating bezel. Notably, this timepiece bears no Montblanc branding whatsoever; instead, it is presented exclusively under the Minerva trademark. It features a 41.5mm stainless steel case paired with an 18K rose gold fluted bezel. This design aesthetic dates back to 1939—originating from Minerva’s first chronograph equipped with an external rotating bezel—and has since evolved into a signature element of the brand. To further underscore the significance of the rotating bezel, this timepiece eliminates the traditional crown; consequently, both winding and time-setting are performed entirely by manipulating the 18K rose gold fluted bezel. The specific operation involves first toggling a discreet lever—concealed within the case back rim at the 3 o'clock position—to select the desired function mode. When the lever is in its default position, rotating the bezel manually winds the movement; when the lever is pulled out, rotating the bezel adjusts the hour and minute hands.

Top-tier Gold Watch - Glashutte Original 1-36-24-02-05-02

Glashütte Original Senator Excellence Panorama Date Moonphase (Ref. 1-36-24-02-05-02), featuring an 18K rose gold case measuring 40mm in diameter. Evidently, the rising price of gold has prompted an increasing number of enthusiasts to scrutinize the actual "gold content" within gold timepieces. Following a round of disassembly and weighing conducted by seasoned collectors, the conclusion was reached that gold watches from brands such as Chopard and Glashütte Original are generously crafted—featuring substantial gold cases with significant heft—and do not cut corners on materials. In contrast, the gold cases of many other renowned watch brands are hollowed out internally, resulting in a hollow-case construction.

The dial retains its signature layout, featuring a moon phase display positioned in the upper left quadrant and a large date display in the lower right. Furthermore, the Glashütte Original logo is printed on both the left and right sides of the dial. This design achieves a unique sense of balance—distinctive to Glashütte Original—within an asymmetrical composition. A key detail lies in the distinction between Glashütte Original’s "Panorama Date" and that of A. Lange & Söhne: while Lange’s large date features a separating frame between the two numerals, Glashütte Original’s numerals appear without any divider, sitting closely and seamlessly side-by-side. Moreover, Glashütte Original’s high-precision moon phase display is remarkably accurate; once correctly set, it requires no adjustment for 122 years.

The Glashütte Original Senator Excellence series primarily features two types of hour markers (though a three-dimensional triangular marker style exists, it is currently used less frequently). The style utilized in earlier models consisted of printed baton markers. Subsequently—beginning in 2024—a brand-new style of three-dimensional Roman numeral markers was introduced. These new three-dimensional Roman numerals significantly enhance the sense of visual depth on the dial. This effect is particularly striking on the gold models, where the polished gold Roman numerals create a truly exceptional aesthetic. The classic "pear-shaped" hands feature refined contours and dynamic lines. Finally, both the blued-steel seconds hand—tipped with the Glashütte Original logo—and the minute hand align with absolute precision against the railway-track minute scale located on the outermost rim of the dial. 

The New Calibre 36 Automatic Movement. The Calibre 36 stands as one of the finest automatic movements among renowned German timepieces. As Glashütte Original is a distinguished brand within the Swatch Group, it seamlessly combines the iconic, exquisite movement decoration characteristic of fine German watchmaking with the most advanced Swiss movement technology.
