Nothing else so far. I guess we'll have to see what Omega do but after last years' hit with the SeaMaster I don't see this as a big year for them either (Apollo anniversaries aside).
The Spring Drive diver for me although pricey...!!!!
I like the look of these but then I checked the websites for more details. They are likely to be too big for me at 44.8mm. 43mm or less and they would have been "serious contenders" but their size helps me keep my "No watches in 2019" pledge alive a little longer.

Nomos have some new releases on bracelet; a first for them I believe.

"The firm confirmed that all the watches are equipped with the new sport bracelet, developed especially for them in Glashütte."

Bauhaus styling is not for me, but it does beg the question of why do the bracelets not have fitted ends?


More details here from WatchPro.

^^ And why the date at 3pm? Why spoil the classic symmetry?

Watches are ok but the bracelets look like the cheap plastic ones from a fun fair watch.... :thumbdown:

Developed especially for them by who?! They look terrible. An individually designed bracelet with no fitted endlinks?? Nah, not for me.

Does anyone have any links to the new watches Seiko are releasing?

Details of the GS and new spring drive Prospex models are everywhere, but I can’t for the life of me find any others. Apart from some vague pictures of new Sumo’s and ani-digi Tuna’s that look like they were taken in Basel display cabinets.

Those 39.5 Aquis additions are good looking. Will be interesting to see how bold the aqua blue LE is in real life.

But £1800 RRP :shock:, that's a hard pill to swallow.
I could stomach the extra cost for something like the Staghorn with the funky day feature, but not sure about a standard Aquis in different colour.
I bet there'll be plenty of takers though.

For the Aquis owners ... any idea of available discounts on LEs??

Haven't seen any other images other than what I posted yesterday. New Sumo apparently has a new 6R35 movement (70 Hr), Sapphire Crystal, and is approx. 45mm case. SPB101J1 (black) & 103 (green). Possibility they may be sold outside of Japan, as they have traditionally been SBDC JDM models.
Current collection incl Citizen, G-Shock, Rolex, Seiko, Sinn & Tag.

But I do like a Sinn...

Fortunately it’s a 500 piece limited edition, otherwise my white would get very jealous.
I'm so tempted to Sinn...

£1250 though...
