Otherwise nothing new from Japanese standard-production models beyond the Orient Star line above and the Section 1 items — checked Seiko, Citizen, and Casio/G-Shock’s own newsrooms and Japanese-language press directly. Casio/G-Shock is still quiet since September 9, 2026 (the G-STEEL GST-W1000 Series), and Seiko’s current JDM activity is seasonal catalog refreshes rather than new references.
Swiss and Luxury
Nothing new from Swiss and Luxury standard-production models — today’s Swiss and Luxury activity was limited to the Audemars Piguet and Panerai limited editions covered in Section 1 above. Checked Rolex, Tudor, Omega, Audemars Piguet, Zenith, Breitling, Panerai, Longines, Tissot, Mido, Rado, Hamilton, Swatch, Nivada Grenchen, and Norqain directly.
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.
