The watch industry continues to buzz with excitement following Watches & Wonders 2025, as major brands and independent makers roll out their latest creations. This week’s lineup features bold designs, limited editions, and surprisingly affordable dive watches—proving there’s no shortage of innovation in horology.
Tudor Pelagos FXD Chrono Pink “Giro d’Italia” Cycling
Tudor expands its chronograph offerings with the Pelagos FXD Chrono Pink “Giro d’Italia” Cycling, a vibrant tribute to cycling’s iconic pink jersey. Inspired by the Maglia Rosa, awarded to the winner of the Giro d’Italia, the watch combines a striking pink and black color scheme with high-performance materials.
The 43mm carbon composite case nods to the carbon fiber used in elite racing bikes, while titanium elements ensure durability. The fixed bezel features a 60-minute scale, and the black-and-pink fabric strap completes the sporty aesthetic. Though priced at a premium, Tudor’s latest release delivers the brand’s signature blend of ruggedness and refinement.
Ulysse Nardin Diver Hammerhead Shark Limited Edition
Ulysse Nardin dives deep with the Diver Hammerhead Shark Limited Edition, a titanium-clad timepiece built for the open ocean. The blue PVD-coated case and shark-themed engravings underscore its maritime roots, while the UN-118 movement ensures precision with a 60-hour power reserve and DiamonSil escapement.
Designed for collectors rather than deep-sea adventurers, the watch includes interchangeable blue rubber and fabric straps, along with a caseback engraved with a hammerhead shark motif. Limited to a select run, this model exemplifies Ulysse Nardin’s commitment to bold, technical craftsmanship.
Oris Aquis Date “Ben Bridge Limited Editions”
Oris partners with Ben Bridge Jeweler to launch two exclusive Aquis Date models, each featuring a purple mother-of-pearl dial. The 36.5mm version offers a sleek, wearable profile, while the 43.5mm variant leans into a bolder presence. Both boast 300-meter water resistance, stainless steel cases, and screw-down crowns.
Limited to 40 and 125 pieces respectively, these watches blend elegance with sporty functionality. The signed Ben Bridge caseback adds a personal touch, making them standout additions to Oris’s growing catalog.
Swatch SCUBAQUA Dive Watches
Swatch injects fun into dive watches with the SCUBAQUA collection, featuring five models named after marine life: Black Sea Nettle, Egg Yolk, Aurelia Aurita, Lion’s Mane, and Blue Fire. The 44mm bioceramic cases and translucent dials offer a playful yet refined aesthetic, while the 10 o’clock crown improves ergonomics.
Powered by quartz movements and rated for 100 meters of water resistance, these watches are accessible at just $245 AUD. Swatch’s latest release proves that affordability and creativity can go hand in hand.
Conclusion
From Tudor’s cycling-inspired chronograph to Swatch’s budget-friendly divers, this week’s releases showcase the watch industry’s dynamic spirit.
