Section 1 — Limited & Special Editions
H. Moser & Cie. — Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton Aventurine, Saquon Barkley Edition 
- Edition size: 97 pieces, a nod to Barkley’s birth year
- Price: $99,600 USD (no CHF price in the source)
- Availability: No release date, region or retailer stated; aBlogtoWatch points buyers to H. Moser’s website. Reference not stated. aBlogtoWatch hands-on, November 8, 2026.
- What’s new: A colorway change on the existing Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton rather than a new movement. It follows the bright orange-and-turquoise Spiced Aqua version Barkley picked last year, but is toned down: a deep blue aventurine subdial at 12 replaces the usual fumé, the main plate and bridges are anthracite PVD, and the strap is white rubber. The Globolight ceramic indices glow white, except the 2 and 6, which glow green for his No. 26 jersey. The aventurine echoes Penn State’s colors. Specs: 42.8mm steel case, 15.3mm thick, just over 51mm lug to lug, 12 ATM, with the fully skeletonized HMC 811 (3Hz, one-minute flying tourbillon with cylindrical hairspring, 74-hour reserve, skeletonized rose gold rotor).

Timex — Marlin California Dial Limited Edition, ref. TW6A28700 
- Edition size: 200 individually numbered pieces, number engraved on the caseback
- Price: $299 USD
- Availability: Listed on timex.com as New with Add to Bag (no sold-out flag when checked); Timex’s November 9 email announced it. Windup Watch Shop’s page says numbers 1–100 debuted at the Windup Watch Fair in New York and on its site (now “no longer available”), with 101–200 sold on timex.com. No region-lock stated; no release date stated on either page. Caught up from the November 9 email; not covered in the last five posts.
- What’s new: The classic 1960s Marlin shape in the small 34mm size with a hand-wound mechanical movement (Windup’s page names it a Seagull). The “California” dial is black with gold-tone Roman numerals at the hours and Arabic numerals, stick markers at 3, 6 and 9, a triangle at 12 and a gold minute track. It sits on a brown leather strap with quick-release bars, with a domed acrylic crystal and 3 ATM. The two pages disagree on case height (timex.com 13.5mm, Windup 10.5mm), so treat thickness as unconfirmed.

It comes on a sand-colored mil-strap.

Section 2 — New Standard Models
Japanese
Nothing new from Japanese brands since last covered. Citizen’s global news page shows nothing dated after March 31, 2026 and nothing on Bulova, and its November 5 and 6 emails were sale and gift-guide promos. Orient’s news page blocks automated access, so Orient is unconfirmed rather than quiet. Ōtsuka Lōtec’s news page shows nothing after September 15 and its shop still lists the same four lottery items.
Swiss and Luxury
Oris — Big Crown Pointer Date, oxblood red dial, ref. 01 754 7798 4038-07 8 20 06 
- Edition size: Standard production (permanent collection)
- Price: CHF 2,000; $2,400 USD per Oris’s US listing as reported by Gear Patrol
- Availability: November 2026. Region-locks not stated. Monochrome published it November 3, 2026; Gear Patrol ran a headline on it that day and it was held in the November 4 post for lack of specs, so it is caught up here.
- What’s new: An oxblood red dial added to the contemporary Big Crown Pointer Date, similar to the dial on the vintage-inspired model. Versus that watch it has a smooth bezel instead of a fluted one and pencil hands instead of cathedral hands, on an H-link steel bracelet. 40mm x 12mm, 47.5mm lug to lug, 50m, Oris calibre 754 (Sellita SW 200-1 base, 28,800 vph, 41-hour reserve). The source does not compare against the previous contemporary references beyond the dial color.

American
Nothing new from American brands since last covered. Timex’s November 7 email repeated Peanuts x Timex holiday references (the T80 Snoopy Ski was covered November 3), Luminox’s new-arrivals page shows no Pre-order or Coming Soon flags and nothing beyond what was covered, and Shinola’s new-watches page was empty. Bulova’s site failed to load, so Bulova is unconfirmed rather than quiet.
Microbrand

- Edition size: Not stated (standard production assumed; not described as limited)

Nothing else new from microbrands since last covered. Checked directly: Christopher Ward’s new-watches page (the same 12 New items as before, no Pre-order or Coming Soon flags), Luminox, Shinola, echo/neutra (no new flags), Farer (Lander IV 39.5mm GMT and Venture Three Hand Series III pre-orders, which appear to predate this run), Halios (Seaforth IV batch closed, Universa II not yet open), aBlogtoWatch, Worn & Wound and Gear Patrol. Baltic, Lorier, Nodus, Zelos, Traska and Monta pages failed to load or block automated access, and Duxot, Kuoe Kyoto, Studio Underd0g and Brew were not opened this run, so those are unconfirmed rather than quiet.
