No new limited editions from Japanese or Swiss and luxury brands.
Section 2 — New Standard Models
Japanese
Nothing new from Japanese brands since last covered. Orient’s news page newest item is still October 6, 2026; Citizen’s global news page shows nothing after March 31, 2026 and nothing on Bulova; Ōtsuka Lōtec’s news page shows nothing after September 15 and its shop still lists the same four lottery items (8号, 7.5号, 6号, 5号改). Citizen’s November 10 email is a savings-event promo. Seiko and Casio were checked only through web search this run, which surfaced nothing dated inside the window, so those are unconfirmed rather than quiet.
Swiss and Luxury
Nothing new from Swiss and luxury brands since last covered (apart from the Ming above). Rolex, Tudor, Omega, Audemars Piguet, Zenith, Breitling, Panerai, Longines, Tissot, Mido, Rado, Hamilton, Swatch, Nivada Grenchen and Norqain press rooms were not opened directly this run, so those are unconfirmed rather than quiet.
American
Timex — Marlin Chatham Automatic 36mm, ref. TW2Y84300 
- Edition size: Standard production (no limit stated)
- Price: $289 USD
- Availability: Pre-order on timex.com (US), flagged New with a “Notify Me When Available” option and no ship date. No region-lock stated. The page carries no date, so this is the first time we are writing it up rather than a confirmed same-day launch.
- What’s new: Another update to the ’60s Marlin, here in 36mm (44.5mm lug to lug, 12mm tall) with a softened cushion case and applied metallic Breguet numerals on a white dial. Powered by the Japanese Miyota 8215 automatic (about 42-hour reserve, hacking), 50m, mineral crystal, black leather strap on 20mm quick-release bars. The page lists 21 jewels in the specs but 24 in the feature text, so the jewel count is unconfirmed.

Nothing else confirmed as new from American brands. Luminox’s new-arrivals page shows the same 16 New items as before with no Pre-order or Coming Soon flags; Shinola’s new-watches page shows “No products found.” Bulova’s site failed to load and Citizen group news shows no Bulova items, so Bulova is unconfirmed rather than quiet.
Microbrand
Nothing else new from microbrands since last covered. Checked directly: Christopher Ward’s new-watches page (the same 12 New items, no Pre-order or Coming Soon flags), Luminox, Shinola, echo/neutra (no new flags or prices), Ōtsuka Lōtec, Farer (the Lander IV 39.5mm GMT and Venture Three Hand Series III pre-orders that were already flagged), Halios (Seaforth IV batch closed, Universa II not yet open), aBlogtoWatch and Worn & Wound. Baltic, Lorier and Nodus pages failed to load, and Duxot, Kuoe Kyoto, Monta, Traska, Zelos, Studio Underd0g and Brew were not opened this run, so those are unconfirmed rather than quiet.
