Ōtsuka Lōtec — 8号 priority lottery sale (item 163880529) 
- Edition size: Not stated (lottery allocation of the standard 8号)
- Price: ¥1,089,000 including tax (about $6,900 USD)
- Availability: Japan-only: entry requires a Japan shipping address and a Japan-issued card. The entry window ran November 1, 2026, 17:00 to 23:30 JST and has closed. Results are emailed to every applicant on November 6, 2026 at 19:00 JST; shipping is November 30. This round was missed in our November 1 post, which reported no lottery openings, and is caught up here. The window and result times come from Caseback Chron’s own November 1 reporting; the shop listing confirms the item, price and lottery status but shows no dates.
- What’s new: The 8号 (jumping hour with retrograde minute) returned to the shop on a new item number after about nine weeks off the listing. This round was labeled a priority lottery: a separate off-site anti-resale pledge form must be signed for the entry to count in the priority pool. The shop now lists four lottery items (8号, 7.5号, 6号, 5号改). Item numbers were rechecked today and nothing newer than 163880529 has appeared.

Nothing new from Seiko, Citizen, Casio or Ōtsuka Lōtec (beyond the 8号 above) since last covered. Citizen’s November 2 email was a birthstone-themed edit of existing references, and Gear Patrol’s Citizen Terra Force item was an Amazon sale, so neither is a release.
Swiss and Luxury

Nothing else confirmed from Swiss and luxury brands since last covered. Held because specs could not be confirmed this run: the Sicura Hexa 400 Sea Green (aBlogtoWatch, November 2, sponsored; the page shows only a teaser) and the Louis Vuitton Monterey (a November 3 hands-on, not a formal launch). The Rolex, Tudor, Omega, Zenith, Breitling and Longines searches returned nothing dated inside the window.
American
Nothing new from American brands since last covered. Luminox’s new-arrivals page shows no Pre-order or Coming Soon flags (its two limited editions, Volition America Continuum 250 and Navy SEAL 3500 Semper Fortis, were covered October 28), and Shinola’s new-watches page shows no products. Timex’s November 2 email repeated the Ironman 40th Anniversary covered October 31. Bulova was not confirmed against bulova.com or Citizen group channels this run, so it is unconfirmed rather than quiet.
Microbrand
Nothing new from microbrands since last covered. Checked directly: Christopher Ward’s new-watches page (the same 12 New items, all covered October 29), echo/neutra (1956 Chrono GMT Purple, Cappuccino and Averau, still with no prices or pre-order flags), Ōtsuka Lōtec, Worn & Wound and aBlogtoWatch. KUOE’s Royal Smith 90-006 Large New York Limited (50 pieces) was a fair-exclusive from October 8 and is left out. Baltic, Nodus, Monta, Duxot, Kuoe Kyoto, Traska, Zelos, Studio Underd0g, Brew, Halios, Lorier and Farer were not opened this run, so those are unconfirmed rather than quiet.
