Casio — G-Shock GBX-H5600KI-5 (Kanoa Igarashi Collaboration)
- Edition size: Standard production. Fourth signature collaboration with professional surfer Kanoa Igarashi in this tide-tracking G-Shock line; not a numbered limited edition.
- Price: $370 USD
- Availability: casio.com, available now as of August 23, 2026. US listing confirmed; no other market availability stated, so treat as a possible US-first release.
- What’s new: Brown mixed bio-based resin bezel and band styled after Portuguese coastal cliffs, carbon-fiber-reinforced resin caseback, about 47 grams (roughly 18 grams lighter than the outgoing DWH5600). Adds Polar cardio-load and workout-metric integration on top of the existing optical heart-rate/blood-oxygen sensor, tide graphs, and moon-phase data (50 preset tide locations on-device, about 3,300 more via the companion app). Hybrid USB and solar charging: about 35 hours of continuous heart-rate monitoring, about a month in standard watch mode, about 11 months in power-saving mode.

Omega — Speedmaster 38mm Collection (seven references)
- Edition size: Standard production, permanent collection. Seven references, two carrying diamond-set bezels as the highest-priced variants; none are numbered limited editions.
- Price: EUR 6,400–12,900. Two references have confirmed USD pricing: $6,500 for the no-date black steel reference 324.30.38.50.01.002, and $11,700 for the steel-and-Moonshine-Gold reference 324.20.38.50.02.001. USD pricing for the remaining five references (grey-bezel and blue-bezel date models, the Sedna Gold “Cappuccino,” and the two diamond-bezel models) had not been published as of this writing, so treat any conversion for those as approximate.
- Availability: Omega boutiques and authorized retailers, launched today, August 25, 2026; no stated region lock.
- What’s new: A full redesign of the 38mm Speedmaster line intended to read closer to the Moonwatch. Case holds at 38mm by 14.75mm with 100m water resistance and a box-shaped sapphire crystal, but the bracelet changes from the outgoing design to a Moonwatch-style five-link (“Nixon-style”) bracelet, the subdials move from oval to round, and dial text is reduced for a cleaner face. Two calibers: 3332 (no-date, COSC-certified) on the entry black reference, and 3330 (date at 6 o’clock, COSC-certified) on the other six. The range runs from a steel-only no-date model up through 18k Moonshine Gold and Sedna Gold case accents and two 52-diamond (1.53 carat total) bezel versions, one on a blue dial and one on mother-of-pearl.

Nothing new from Rolex, Tudor, Audemars Piguet, Zenith, Breitling, Panerai, Longines, Tissot, Mido, Rado, Hamilton, Swatch, or Nivada Grenchen since last covered. This remains a quiet stretch between Watches & Wonders Geneva (April 2026) and Geneva Watch Days (September 2–6, 2026).
American
Nothing new from Timex, Shinola, Bulova, Weiss, RGM, Autodromo, Oak & Oscar, Vaer, or Luminox since last covered (Timex, August 24; Bulova, August 23). Timex’s mailing list resurfaced its E Line collection this week, including the TW6A00700 preorder colorway, but that whole line (all six references) launched August 11, 2026 and was already covered here August 12–16 — a remarketing email for existing stock, not a new reference.
Microbrand
Nothing new from Duxot, Kuoe Kyoto, Otsuka Lotec, Lorier, Nodus, Traska, Monta, Baltic, Zelos, Studio Underd0g, Brew, Halios, Christopher Ward, Farer, or echo/neutra since last covered (Nodus Sector II Sport stone dials, August 23). Otsuka Lotec’s otsukalotec.base.shop still shows no new 抽選販売 (lottery) window open; the site continues to direct visitors to its email newsletter for future schedule announcements. echo/neutra’s stated summer closure was slated to end today, August 25, but no new drop had posted as of this writing.
