Nothing closing within 14 days. (The Ōtsuka Lōtec 5号改 lottery registration window closed September 13; results are announced September 18, but that’s not an open sale window.)
Section 1 — Limited & Special Editions
Japanese
Orient — Flusso Limited Edition, ref. RA-BB0205R
- Edition size: Limited red-gradient dial variant; exact production number not disclosed
- Price: ¥41,000 (approx. $267 USD)
- Availability: Japan launch November 2026; international markets December 2026. U.S. pricing not yet announced.
- What’s new: Orient’s first integrated-bracelet model in decades, reviving the design language of the brand’s 1970s–80s SK Model. 39mm case (47mm lug-to-lug, 10.9mm thick) with a 24mm integrated steel bracelet — the same proportions class as the Tissot PRX or Orient’s own Stretto, but a new case and bracelet architecture, not a shared platform. In-house Orient F6522 automatic (22 jewels, 40+ hour reserve, +25/-15 sec/day). This limited version gets a red gradient dial versus the standard white, dark gray, and blue options.

Otherwise nothing new from Japanese brands since September 9, 2026 (the G-STEEL GST-W1000 Series) — checked Seiko, Citizen, and Casio/G-Shock’s own newsrooms and Japanese-language press directly; still quiet aside from Orient above.
Swiss and Luxury
Nothing new from Swiss and Luxury brands since September 13, 2026 (the Hublot Big Bang Original Soft Touch) — checked Rolex, Tudor, Omega, Audemars Piguet, Zenith, Breitling, Panerai, Longines, Tissot, Mido, Rado, Hamilton, Swatch, Nivada Grenchen, and Norqain directly; still quiet.
American
Nothing new from American brands since September 13, 2026 (Timex Marlin Quartz 34mm / Q Timex Marbella 34mm) — checked Timex, Shinola, Bulova/Citizen group channels, Weiss, RGM, Autodromo, Oak & Oscar, Vaer, and Luminox directly; still quiet.
Microbrand
Christopher Ward — Trident Biscay GMT, ref. C60-39AGM1-S0RK0-B1 / C60-42AGM1-S0BW0-HB
- Edition size: Standard production; two case sizes (39mm, 42mm), two colorways
- Price: $2,275 USD (39mm, Black/Red, Consort steel bracelet); $1,995 USD (42mm, Sand/Blue, Blue Hybrid Rubber strap); from $2,020 USD on the Bader bracelet
- Availability: christopherward.com, available now; no region-lock noted. Announced August 27, 2026 alongside the standard Trident Biscay Automatic/Bronze launch — the base Biscay references were caught up separately, but the GMT variant itself was missed until now. It’s still flagged “New” on Christopher Ward’s own new-watches page, which is what caught it in today’s mandatory direct-site sweep.
- What’s new: Adds a GMT complication to the Biscay retro-dive platform via a Sellita SW330-1 automatic GMT movement, paired with a black-and-red “Coke” aluminum bezel insert and gilt accents — a direct swing at Tudor’s Black Bay GMT territory at roughly a third of the price. The 39mm/42mm twisted-lug Trident case and dial layout carry over unchanged from the standard Biscay; the GMT hand, bezel insert, and movement swap are the actual delta, not a case redesign.
