New Releases from Watches & Wonders Up for Anything
From space to the racetrack, here are five watches that can handle it all.
What makes these five releases stand out on the wrist?
These five timepieces, just announced at Watches & Wonders, have different styles and strengths, but they share one thing in common - they offer a compelling combination of savoir faire and style, and are sure to stand out on the wrist.
The Tudor Black Bay Ceramic
Tudor’s Watches & Wonders 2026 collection offered something for everyone, from the brand new Monarch through to updates to the Royal line. Unsurprisingly, though, the Black Bay was at the core of the brand's offering, and one real standout was the Black Bay Ceramic. Originally launched in 2021, the Black Bay Ceramic got a major update in the form of a new, fully ceramic bracelet this year, along with a refined case. This new bracelet really unifies the design and elevates the entire offering. Add in the METAS-certified MT5602-U, and this stealthy Tudor is a compelling option.
The TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph
TAG Heuer’s rule as the king of chronographs continues in 2026, as the automotive-inspired watchmaker puts the pedal down on their famous square-cased chronograph, the Monaco. In addition to the impressive Monaco Evergraph, the brand has refreshed the classic Monaco Chronograph, bringing the 39mm case closer to the original 1969 design, with sharp, angular edges. The dial has also been subtly updated, with typography and dial layout. It’s offered in three colourways at launch - the classic blue, a racing green, and finally an elegant black model in a grade 5 titanium and 18K 5N rose gold case.
The Bremont Supernova Chronograph
Space has been one of the major themes of Watches & Wonders - with watchmakers clearly captivated by our renewed interest in manned missions to the moon. British watchmaker Bremont didn’t want to get left out of the action and has partnered with Astrolab - a space exploration company slated to launch FLIP (the FLEX Lunar Innovation Program) later this year, to explore the lunar poles. Attached to the FLIP rover will be a Bremont Supernova Chronograph. For those of us bound to earth, this spacey 41mm chronograph features a steel case, black ceramic bezel and a dial with a delicate grid pattern, inspired by the sails of a solar array.
The Hublot Big Bang Reloaded
This year at Watches & Wonders, Hublot is focusing on the fundamentals in the form of the Big Bang Reloaded. With five new references, in Titanium Ceramic, All Black, Blue Ceramic, Dark Green, and Magic Gold, there’s an option for every wrist. Every model is running off the HUB1280 Unico Flyback Chronograph, and the dial layout has been updated accordingly. One thing that remains perfectly Hublot is the size, at 44mm, it's still unmistakably a Big Bang.
