November’s watch calendar didn’t slow down for the holidays. Microbrands shipped field watches and GMTs, Casio shrank a digital watch to ring size, and Audemars Piguet built a chiming Royal Oak that costs more than most houses. We covered all of it as it landed, piece by piece, and the stack grew faster than anyone could read it.
So here’s the catch-up, and it starts a series we’ll run whenever a category outruns its readers. Every watch below links to our own coverage of it, with the price checked again today. Twenty-one watches, from $101 at the Casio end to $429,700 at the chiming end.
1. Praesidus Montar Ana-Digi
Praesidus sells two versions of the Montar at one price, and the split is about how a second time zone gets shown. The Ana-Digi runs analog hands over an LCD window, each display keeping its own time. The GMT answers with a fourth hand and a 24-hour bezel instead.
Both are quartz field watches rated to 10 ATM, and both ship in the first week of December.
The first batch stops at 200 watches per model, so the preorder window is the run. Our Montar piece walks through the Canyon colorway and the GMT’s Basalt dial in full, pushers, chime, and all.
Praesidus Montar Ana-Digi
Analog hands over an LCD second zone · 10 ATM · GMT version at the same price
Price: $275 (preorder, ships the first week of December 2026)

2. Seiko Lupin III Chronograph Jigen Model
Seiko’s latest anime collaboration, out this week, belongs to Daisuke Jigen, Lupin’s sharpshooter, and the dial carries his whole kit. A bullet impact forms the minute register at 12, cracks spidering out from the strike.
The hour register at 9 rebuilds a revolver cylinder, six gold chambers loaded, its hand running the light blue of Jigen’s shirt. His revolver rides in silhouette inside the 6 o’clock register, gold indices stand in for bullets, and the run stops at 3,000 numbered pieces. Preorders run through PREMICO in Japan at $415. Our Jigen piece has the caseback, the hat at 3, and the presentation box.

3. Yema Senans Grande Lune
Yema built watches for 78 years without a moonphase. Its first one makes the moon out of a solid block of Super-LumiNova and parks it at 7 o’clock, big enough to read across a room. A rotating bilobe sweeps over the moon and covers it the way a shadow would, so the phase shows on a moon that never moves.
The case is 38.5mm and 8.70mm thick, with Yema’s in-house micro-rotor inside. Production stops at 200 per dial color.
Orders open November 11 at $2,790 on leather or $2,950 on the mesh bracelet. Our Senans piece covers the three dial colors and the quick-set moon.

4. Orient Star Skeleton RE-BR0001N
Orient Star’s 75th anniversary flagship opens the whole movement up and bets you’ll care about what’s inside. The F9B82 is a hand-wound skeleton caliber with hand-applied finishing, heat-blued parts, and a power-reserve indicator worked into the dial-side display. Sapphire covers the front and the caseback.
The case stays at 40mm, and the run stops at 130 pieces worldwide.
The launch lands in December, and Orient hasn’t printed a price yet. We’re not guessing at one. Our RE-BR0001N piece makes the case for why this movement earns the flagship slot, and Orient’s own page carries the full spec set.
5. Serica 8315-3 GMT Golden Green
Golden Green is the third colorway of Serica’s 8315 Travel Chronometer, and it’s the warm one. An olive enamel dial does most of that work.
Above it sits a two-tone ceramic bezel that shifts between golden beige and almond green as the light moves. Each bezel insert is cut from a single block of ceramic, so the split between tones stays clean all the way around the dial.
The 24-hour scale splits into AM and PM segments with an asymmetric day-night indicator, and the movement is COSC certified. Serica lists it at $2,330, and the first allocation has already sold through at Serica’s store. Our Golden Green piece has the gallery shots and the bracelet story.

6. Luminox Pacific Diver Automatic 3100 Series Limited Edition
Blacked-out watches built the Luminox name. This one goes the other way, with a burnt orange ceramic bezel insert against a black wave dial. Orange has been a diver’s color since Doxa’s 1967 tests showed it holding up in murky water after other colors faded, and here the color lives in the bezel, the AUTOMATIC print, and the tip of the seconds hand.
Underneath sits a Sellita automatic, a real shift for a catalog that runs mostly quartz.
The run stops at 400 pieces at $1,745 each, orange bezel, black dial and all. Our Pacific Diver piece covers the lume tube at 12 and the caseback.

7. Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Brown Ceramic
The brown Seamaster is the expensive half of Omega’s ceramic pair. Case, bezel ring, and dial are all brown ceramic, with 18K Sedna Gold in the mix and Grade 5 titanium doing the hardware work. The color sits in the material itself, so it can’t chip or fade the way a coating does.
Both ceramic references share the same base: a 43.5mm case, the dateless Calibre 8806, 300 meters of water resistance, and a helium escape valve. The brown one costs $15,500 against the blue one’s $10,000.
The gap is materials, not mechanics. Our ceramic Seamaster piece runs both watches side by side.

Price: $15,500

8. Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Blue Ceramic
Blue usually shows up on a Seamaster as a dial color or a bezel insert. Here it covers the whole watch.
Case, bezel ring, and dial are one run of blue ceramic, the rubber strap continues it, and the only breaks are the titanium hardware and the white enamel diving scale. The dial carries the line’s large-wave pattern, laser-engraved into the ceramic itself.
A sapphire caseback window keeps the 8806 visible. At $10,000 it undercuts its brown sibling by $5,500 with nothing mechanical given up. The same ceramic Seamaster piece covers the blue reference.

9. Jack Mason Strat-o-timer GMT Triton Meteorite
The Triton Meteorite puts a real meteorite dial in Jack Mason’s Strat-o-timer GMT, a flyer GMT built for travelers who cross zones and want home time riding on its own hand. Stone and iron dials usually arrive at several times this price, which is why this one led the watch picks in our gear roundup this fall.
It runs $1,449 direct from Jack Mason.
Our gear roundup introduced it alongside the Kuoe below, with the side profile and the release list from that week.

10. Kuoe Royal Smith 90-006
Kuoe’s Royal Smith 90-006 is the Kyoto brand’s first dial with Roman numerals, and the movement is the bigger story. The Miyota Cal.9085 runs for about 80 hours, so a watch set down on Friday evening is still running on Monday morning. Applied numerals and a heat-blued seconds hand finish the antique brief.
Two sizes split the range, a compact 35mm and a 39mm with more presence, across ivory, blue, and green dials. Preorders run through Kuoe’s global store at $990, verified again today, with shipping from February 2027.
Our gear roundup carried the first look, movement photo included.

11. Timex Atelier Marine M1a Blue
Black was the safe launch color for the Marine M1a, and it still sold through. Blue is the second run, and it shows what the fired enamel dial can do, turning almost black at the edge of the light and properly blue across the face. A blue ceramic bezel insert matches it, polished and engraved.
Inside the 41mm case sits a Swiss automatic with 200 meters of water resistance, which is serious kit from the top shelf of Timex, a brand better known for $50 quartz.
Pricing holds at $950 on the NBR rubber strap and $1,050 on the steel bracelet. Our Marine M1a piece has both references and the lume shots.

12. Timex Atelier GMT24 M1a Pepsi
The GMT24 M1a wears its Pepsi colors in an unusual place. The 24-hour ring sits fixed under the glass-box sapphire instead of on a rotating bezel, blue across the night hours and red across the day, fully lumed, with a red GMT hand reading against it.
Running the ring under glass keeps the colors suspended over the dial edge, clear of the knocks a bezel takes in daily wear, too.
The black enamel dial, the date at 3, and the Giorgio Galli design carry over from the black launch version. On the steel bracelet, reference TW6A20600 runs $1,450, with a rubber-strap version at $1,350. Our GMT24 piece covers the launch colors and the bracelet.

13. Benly Design Desktop 95
The Desktop 95 rebuilds the Windows 95 desktop at wrist size. Teal wallpaper, beveled gray windows, a dialog box that reads “Loading memories…”, and a miniature taskbar along the bottom. Two pixel cursors serve as the hour and minute hands, so the pointer you grew up chasing now tells the time.
A white dial runs a simpler “Loading…” bar with different icons.
It’s a joke executed with real care, priced from $159 at Benlywatch, and it works because the details hold up at close range. Our Desktop 95 piece has both dials and the system messages up close.

14. Casio Oceanus Manta OCW-S7000PW-7AJF
Oceanus is Casio’s top shelf, and the Manta line is where the finishing budget goes. This one wraps a natural mother-of-pearl dial in a pearl-white sapphire bezel, so the two surfaces shift color together as the light changes.
The case is titanium, and the whole watch stays dress-watch slim in a way Casio’s tool watches never attempt.
It goes on sale in Japan on November 13, and IPPO Japan lists it at $1,495 for import buyers. Our new watches roundup placed it beside the Bambino and the ring watch below, where the size contrast gets funny.

15. Orient Bambino Version 7 36mm
Orient shrank the Bambino to 36.4mm and deleted the date window, and the dial breathes for it. At this size the watch wears like the mid-century dress watches the line has always quoted.
Four references split the range: white, faded green, cream, and a gold-tone case around the cream dial.
Orient’s US store has all four at $305, marked down from $410, with no end date printed on the listing. Our new watches roundup covered the full four-reference range, wrist shots included.
16. HTD Aquatic GMT
HTD works out of a small Florence laboratory, and the Aquatic GMT is its first GMT, built on the Aquatic diver the brand already sells. The case is 39mm across with 200 meters of water resistance and a screw-down crown sealed with four O-rings. A domed sapphire with an internal anti-reflective coating gives the dial its soft vintage edge.
The movement is a true GMT, the traveler kind, and HTD sells the watch for $1,111 shipped from Italy with the duties already covered.
Our Aquatic GMT piece walks the dial colors, Rosso Blu included.

17. Casio CRW-002 Ring Watch
Casio shrank a digital watch to ring size. The CRW-002 recreates the A168, the digital classic in production since 1995, at finger scale.
A six-digit display still runs the full stopwatch-and-alarm kit. It’s a working watch, sized as jewelry.
Two finishes split the release, silver at $135 and gold at $155, both listed on Casio’s international site. Our new watches roundup introduced it in the same breath as the Oceanus, which remains the funniest size gap of the month.

18. G-Shock DW-5900MTM-8JF
The MONOTONE-MIX set dresses four classic G-Shock shapes in matte black and gray, honed metal buckles set against matte resin cases. The DW-5900 is the travel pick of the four.
It adds World Time for 48 cities, and its battery runs about ten years, roughly double the rating of its three siblings in the set.
Pricing in Japan matches the square at about $101, and no US release has been announced, so importing is the only route for now. Our MONOTONE-MIX piece ranks all four, patchwork DWE-5600 included.
19. Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Oxblood
Oris painted its Big Crown Pointer Date oxblood, and the deep red changes the watch’s whole register, dressier than the blue and black versions without losing the pilot-watch bones. The case runs 40mm, and the date still rides on a pointer hand at the dial’s edge, the layout that gives the model its name.
It runs $2,400 at Oris.
Our new watches roundup covered it beside the Bambino, where the two made an odd and useful pair, one shrinking and one recoloring.

20. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Minute Repeater Supersonnerie Titanium
A minute repeater tells the time in sound, one tone for the hours, paired tones for the quarters, one for the minutes. AP’s Supersonnerie version is the loud one, built so the chime carries instead of dying inside a sealed case.
The titanium version, reference 26591TI, leads the three-watch chiming set AP released this month.
AP makes 50 of the titanium watches at $429,700 each, sold only through its own boutiques and AP Houses. Our chiming watches piece covers all three references, the pink gold Royal Oak and the Code 11.59 included, with the Calibre 2953 laid out.

21. Sinn 556 I FAZ II
Sinn builds the 556 like a cockpit instrument, all restraint and zero decoration. The FAZ II breaks the habit in exactly one place. Hands, indices, minute track, and even the Sinn logo go green on one watch and orange on the other, over the same pale silver dial.
The editions mark 25 years of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung, the Sunday newspaper Sinn has made watches with for years, and production stops at 100 pieces per color.
WatchBuys has them at $2,370. Our FAZ II piece covers the pulled-in minute markers and the anniversary tie.
