These legendary models have been perennial favorites for a reason — one of them being the ability to keep things fresh each season.

  • OMEGA SPEEDMASTER MOONWATCH

  • LONGINES CONQUEST CHRONOGRAPH
  • PANERAI LUMINOR QUARANTA BITEMPO GOLDTECH PAM01641

ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL GMT-MASTER II

Since the launch of its predecessor in 1955, the travel-friendly Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II has enjoyed numerous technical and aesthetic updates designed to enhance the wearing experience for the many aviators and astronauts who have come to love it. This year, it sports its stealthiest look yet, with a black and grey Cerachrom bezel and black lacquer dial.

OMEGA SPEEDMASTER MOONWATCH

The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch hardly needs an introduction, but those who do can glean its incredible cosmic legacy from its name. Its massive popularity has led to countless variations, but this reference, believe it or not, is the first non-limited Moonwatch in steel with a white dial. Its glossy white face, black indicators, and red accents will surely entice even those who aren’t long-time Speedy devotees.

TUDOR BLACK BAY 58 “INTER”

Named after the year in which Tudor’s first watch water-proof to 200m was launched, the Black Bay 58 rightly retains many aesthetic characteristics of the original. This limited edition, however, comes in celebratory colours. To commemorate Inter Milan’s second “star”, which is earned for every 10 titles won in the Italian football league Serie A, the special Black Bay 58 comes in the team’s colours of blue and black, as well as the Inter logo and stars at 6 o’clock. Limited to 1,908 numbered pieces and available at the Tudor boutique in Milan and Rome, as well as Tudor points of sale throughout Italy.

LONGINES CONQUEST CHRONOGRAPH

Longines was one of the first watchmakers to register a name for a watch line, with the Conquest collection debuting in 1954. Over the past 70 years, Conquest watches have experimented with various styles, but the central theme has always been classic round cases with elegant dials. Recently, new colours have been added to the chronograph models from 2023, and we think this 42mm steel version in green with a silvered matte dial is right on trend.

PANERAI LUMINOR QUARANTA BITEMPO GOLDTECH PAM01641

Despite strong military roots and a steadfast design, Panerai’s Luminor line has proven to be surprisingly malleable in the face of modern tastes and demands. The Luminor Quaranta was introduced in 2022 as a downsized 40mm alternative to many large Luminor models, and now its GMT version is available in glamorous Goldtech, the brand’s proprietary red gold alloy. Paired with a sun ray-brushed black sandwich dial and black alligator strap, the PAM01641 is ready for the red carpet.
