Nodus — Sector II Dive, Holme & Hadfield Edition
- Edition size: 75 pieces worldwide
- Price: $650 USD
- Availability: Early access opened August 27, general release August 28 at noon Pacific via noduswatches.com. Sold out inside the release window — now waitlist only. No region-lock stated beyond standard Nodus US-direct shipping.
- What’s new: The hook here is the dial construction rather than a new case: the white hour markers, minute track, and brand logo are printed onto a sapphire crystal disc suspended over a matte black base, so the markers read with real floating depth instead of sitting flat on a printed dial. 40mm brushed stainless steel case on a three-link bracelet, blue Super-LumiNova on the indices and hands, green seconds hand, no date window, Seiko NH38 automatic regulated to +/-10 seconds a day. First five orders received a complimentary Holme & Hadfield watch care kit. A 75-piece run selling out inside a single release window is a strong demand signal for Nodus’s collaboration line.

Section 2 — New Standard Models
Japanese
Nothing new from Seiko, Citizen, or Casio/G-Shock since last covered (Citizen “The CITIZEN” ref. AQ4103-16W limited edition, August 26). Checked Citizen’s Japanese-language newsroom (citizenwatch-global.com), Seiko’s Japan press channels, and Casio’s G-Shock release calendar directly — no new entries posted since the last covered date.
Swiss and Luxury
Nothing new from Rolex, Tudor, Omega, Audemars Piguet, Zenith, Breitling, Panerai, Longines, Tissot, Mido, Rado, Hamilton, Swatch, Nivada Grenchen, or Norqain since last covered (Longines Master Collection redesign, August 26). Still a quiet stretch ahead of Geneva Watch Days (September 2–6, 2026) — no pre-show teasers have dropped from any tracked brand yet.
American
Timex — 1976 Rotary Phone Dial Reissue, ref. TW2Y82100
- Edition size: Standard production
- Price: $219 USD
- Availability: Available now via timex.com. Teased as a “Coming Soon” notify-me listing on August 26 with no confirmed US price or ship date at that time (and already selling through some UK/EU retailers); now live domestically, so it’s covered here as of today rather than the tease date.
- What’s new: An archive reissue rather than a new platform: 37mm fully polished gold-tone stainless steel case, quartz movement, black dial with Arabic numerals set inside polished gold-tone frames arranged to mimic a rotary telephone’s finger wheel — a novelty dial layout rather than a straight vintage reprint. Day/date window at 3 o’clock, brown LWG-certified crocodile-grain leather strap, 50m water resistance. Joins Timex’s growing Reissues collection alongside the 1995 Intrepid and Q Timex 1972 references.

Nothing else new from Shinola, Bulova, Weiss, RGM, Autodromo, Oak & Oscar, Vaer, or Luminox since last covered (Vaer R1 Oceanracer II Chronograph, August 28). Timex’s and Citizen/Bulova’s mailing lists both went out again this week, but around existing stock: Timex re-pushed the Expedition Field Post Titanium Automatic (TW2Y90900, already covered here August 21), Citizen sent general seasonal/promotional mailers with no new SKU, and Bulova sent a wedding gift guide and a “green watches” roundup built entirely from existing catalog pieces — remarketing rather than new references. Bulova is Japanese-owned (Citizen Watch Co. acquired it in 2008); its Citizen-group channels were checked alongside bulova.com and turned up nothing new either.
Microbrand
Nothing new standard-production from Duxot, Kuoe Kyoto, Otsuka Lotec, Lorier, Traska, Monta, Baltic, Zelos, Studio Underd0g, Brew, Halios, Christopher Ward, Farer, or echo/neutra since last covered (Ming 57.05 Comet Worldtimer and Atelier Wen × Massena LAB Inflection Shuò, both limited editions, August 27). Nodus’s new piece this cycle is the Holme & Hadfield Edition — see Section 1. Otsuka Lotec’s otsukalotec.base.shop still shows no new 抽選販売 (lottery) window open; its own news page posted a price increase across the line effective September 1, citing material and labor costs, but that’s a repricing notice, not a new model. echo/neutra’s site shows no dated additions to the 1956, Averau, Cristallo, Rivanera, or One of a Kind collections since the Averau 42 Ceramic Sand colorway (August 7), which is well outside any reasonable “new” window at this point.
