Every Major NEW Watch Release Watches Wonders 2026

Hello watch lovers! In this video we'll be rounding up all the major new releases from Watches and Wonders 2026 and there's a lot to get through and there's no time to lose. So let's get going with Rolex. Starting with a new Daytona which sees Rolex case its legendary chronograph in Rolesium, a combination of platinum and steel that was first seen in the Yachtmaster model in 1999. You'll notice a difference on the tachymeter bezel where Rolex has chosen to pay tribute to the first Daytonas by presenting the numbers horizontally for better legibility. Within the anthracite grey Cerachrom bezel sits a white metallic effect Grand Faux enameled dial with matching sunken sub-dials. This watch runs on the tried and tested calibre 4131 which can be seen through the open case back. Next up is a series of new Oyster Perpetuals to celebrate the collection's centenary year. The 36mm Jubilee Edition is the one that stands out the most on account of its vibrant technicolour lacquered dial made up of the Rolex name repeatedly spelt out in different coloured letters within different coloured squares. This motif is a nod to celebratory models made by Rolex in the late 70s and is likely to be the most in-demand Oyster Perpetual this year. Another Oyster Perpetual that few would have predicted is a two-tone 41mm Hundred Years model which is two-tone steel and yellow gold but with a difference. Only the case is two-tone boasting a gold bezel and crown while the bracelet is all steel without the gold middle links. Sitting below the six o'clock marker on the grey dial is a printed 100 years that references the anniversary while the number 100 also appears on the winding crown. The Rolex logo and five minute small square markers outside the battens are in the signature Rolex green. This watch is available in 36mm. Rolex has also released a new version of the Datejust 41 in Rolesor that's white gold and steel and with a green ombre dial. It comes on an Oyster bracelet and features a signature fluted bezel. The hundred years celebration continue to the Day-Date 40 which sees a new 41mm model in the brand's Jubilee gold. This is a more muted alloy than Rolex's own versions of rose and yellow gold with the brand describing it as glowing with tones of tender yellow warm grey and soft pink. It comes with a light green aventurine dial reminiscent of the legendary stellar dials but the effect is less in your face although it does feature baguette cut diamonds as hour markers and the bracelet is of the three link president variety. Now we thought Rolex had discontinued the Yacht-Master 2 last year but it was clearly just dormant and it returns in 2026 with a slightly new look and a brand new movement exclusive to the model. The bezel no longer features the word Yacht-Master in huge capital letters and the regatta countdown timer previously a horseshoe shaped display on the inner dial has now been moved to the periphery of the dial while the small seconds display remains at six o'clock. The 44mm case is also thinner than its predecessor thanks to a new caliber 4162 movement replacing the 4161 found in older models. In another surprise Rolex has now discontinued all of its Pepsi GMT-Master 2 models. Yes the iconic blue and red bezel has been dropped out of the collection for the first time since it was introduced. Sad times although it's likely to make a comeback at some point. Rolex has also dropped the white gold Cookie Monster Submariner with the blue bezel and black dial leaving no white gold Submariners in the current lineup. If you like the look of these Rolexes or any of the watches featured in this video then you can fund the purchase of your next watch by selling your one to Watchfinder. On to Tudor next and here are their releases for 2026. Marking a hundred years of Tudor this is the Monarch a new vintage inspired offering. It's a stainless steel 39mm model with a faceted almost tonneau shaped case with a dark champagne colored California dial. With this watch Tudor also introduces a brand new all black handset that's a slightly dressier version of its signature snowflake hand as well as a new style of two link faceted bracelet. Unusually this watch comes with an exhibition case back revealing the new caliber MT56622U which is Meta certified and the in-house movement features gold inlay on the rotor as well as Cote de Geneve striping. Tudor has also launched a new Black Bay 54 in blue which gives fans of this smaller 37mm dive watch another color option. It features a sunray brush dial and a matching blue bezel and the MT5400 COSC certified movement inside and 200 meters of water resistance. Now question has anyone seen the Black Bay 58 blue lately? Because that seems to have disappeared from Tudor's website. Meanwhile the fan favorite Black Bay 58 has been updated with a new movement the in-house caliber MT5400U which replaces the old MT5402 giving the watch Meta certification and a slightly slimmer case. The watch can be had with a five link jubilee style bracelet and the usual three link style one or on a rubber strap. And the oh so cool Coke Black Bay 58 GMT has also been given the new five link jubilee style bracelet. Then we have the new Black Bay in full stealthy all black ceramic bracelet included giving this model a whole different aesthetic. This 41mm model features the in-house master chronometer caliber MT5602U as well as the usual 200 meter water resistance. In full ceramic the watch is incredibly light and comfortable to wear while the winding crown is black PVD treated steel. And finally Tudor has also refreshed its Royal collection. New versions come in 30, 36 and 40mm cases with the latter featuring day and date and the middle size featuring a date only. All three sizes come with the new in-house manufacturer calibers while dial options have also been expanded. Patek Philippe next who announced a host of exemplary grand complication watches this year as they like to do. Starting with the 6105G001 a celestial model in a large 47mm white gold case with a dial depicting the night sky above Geneva. It's able to display sunrise and sunset times and with a summer time to winter time correction mechanism. This one's powered by the new catchily named 240CLUCLLCSO caliber. Then there's this Calatrava 5322G001 with either blue or green grainy lacquered dial and equipped with a 24 hour alarm via a classic single hammer and gong mechanism. It's powered by the self-winding AL3660SC caliber and housed inside a 41mm white gold case with hobnail pattern across the case band and pushers. Then we have this grand complication Cubitus 5840P001 featuring a perpetual calendar movement inside the beloved 45mm square platinum case. It comes with an open worked blue dial and an ultra thin skeletonized movement the caliber 2828QSQU. Now here we have a delightful piece and Patek Philippe's first modern automaton watch based on Jean de la Fontaine's explosive action fable the crow versus the fox. I think that's right. Where here the time is told via an on-demand retrograde hours and minutes animation via two hand engraved critters. It comes in a 43mm rose gold case with 18 carat rose gold dial plate and the 31260PSHMDAU movement inside which is visible also on demand via a pocket watch style hinged case back. Now we have a new Calatrava model in 38mm white gold case with a colorful dial in blue with contrasting orange accents then complemented by a blue fabric strap with orange stitching street style. This is a minute repeater that chimes via two classic gongs thanks to the automatic R27PS caliber inside. Now Patek Philippe have been really busy so we're going to have to rapid fire through some of these now. There's Patek Philippe's iconic split seconds chronograph perpetual calendar model now in a white gold case with a sunburst navy blue dial in 40mm. The 5270P perpetual calendar chronograph collection has been embiggened with new red blue or grey dial versions that are gradient lacquer dials and housed in 41mm platinum cases. There's the 5236P011 a new perpetual calendar model in a platinum case with a silver vertically brushed dial with black gradient ring inline perpetual calendar display at 12. There's the annual calendar 5396R with sunburst sand beige dial in 38.5mm rose gold case. You're getting the 7129J001 world time watch in a 36mm yellow gold case with a flamboyant carmine red dial. There's the 5227G and like the 6196P from last year it features an elegant rose gilt opaline dial and grey white gold markers but here it comes with a central sweep seconds hand and a date window at three and it comes in a 39mm white gold case. There's the 4946G001 annual calendar moon phase in 38mm white gold and a dial in a fabric style double satin vertical and horizontal finish type deal in blue. And then there were two new versions of the golden ellipse. Did I say ellipse then? Sometimes I say eclipse by mistake. Anyway they come in white gold cases both with sunburst olive green dials and in two sizes medium or small. And then finally to celebrate 50 years of the Nautilus we have three new limited editions two in 41mm white gold on a choice of bracelet or fabric strap and one in 38mm platinum. Each comes with the classic blue embossed dial and is powered by the ultra thin self-winding 240 caliber with an anniversary inscription on the micro rotor weight. And then to top it all off is this Nautilus desk clock in white gold and limited to a hundred pieces. It's powered by the also catchily named 315058JPSIRMCIJ which is a manually wound caliber with an eight day power reserve. Now this would go great on my desk next to my Morbius Funko Pop figure. Grand Seiko next and this is the Mystic Waterfall Spring Drive 44GS with a case and dial as fully engraved to capture the essence of the cascading spray of the Tatashina Otaki waterfall which resides near the home of Grand Seiko. The 40mm 950 platinum case and dial have been meticulously and intricately hand engraved by Japanese master crafts people and of the 50 limited editions that have been made no two pieces are alike. This cascading water texture is contrasted with crisp 14 carat white gold hands and indices while the brand and spring drive logo are impeccably framed on the dial with deep clean straight edges. There's another feast for the eyeballs on the reverse where the Spring Drive 9R02 can be seen and the exquisite finishing of Grand Seiko's micro artist studio is on full display. This one's limited to just 50 pieces. This is the Grand Seiko Ushio Diver Spring Drive UFA. In either blue or green these are the first divers watches to be equipped with the world's most precise spring drive movement with the new UFA Spring Drive caliber 9RB1. They get the same plus minus 20 seconds per year accuracy as well as power reserve enough for a three-day diving sesh and they come in the Evolution 9 case and feature the Ushio dial pattern which is inspired by the seas surrounding Japan. This watch features high intensity titanium and ceramic and it's water resistant to 300 meters naturally. After that dive into the ocean we return once again to the ice forest. For this the ice forest at dawn with a dial depicting deciduous conifers that grow in the harsh cold of the sewer region in Japan. So this is a 37 millimeter yellow gold watch with the Grand Seiko UFA spring drive movement the caliber 9RB2 which again boasts the ultra flipping accurate plus minus 20 seconds per year and a 72 hour power reserve. This is also a limited edition of just 80 pieces. Next we have the Red Lion spring drive 8 day in 18 karat rose gold and bejeweled with over 267 diamonds and 26 garnets and it's blingy to say the least. Also it's a 44.5 millimeter beast that's packing the manual winding caliber spring drive 9R01 and this is an extremely limited piece with just eight available globally. Next we finally come to some cherry blossom inspired dials with the cherry blossom sakura wakaba which is one of Japan's 24 seasons when the cherry blossoms are beginning to bloom with fresh green buds and leaves and that's reflected on the face of this watch with a warm and light silvery green textured dial. Lovely. This model comes in a 38 millimeter 18 karat yellow gold case and inside is the 9S85 high beat movement. Then we have the Iwao Blue manual winding spring drive with a dial inspired by natural rock formations and in a deep shade of blue that references Japan's indigo dyeing techniques from samurai times. It comes in the universally appealing case size of 38.5 millimeters and in good old stainless steel with the manual winding spring drive 9R31 inside. Now we're getting in the zoner with our Lange & Zoner and here we have two new watches from them for 2026 beginning with the new Lange 1 tourbillon perpetual calendar lumen in platinum. This takes one of the brand's best loved models and ups the ante giving it two of watchmaking's trickiest technical accomplishments. A stop second tourbillon and a perpetual calendar as well as an incredible luminescent semi-transparent dial. So the perpetual calendar movement comes with instantaneously switching displays for the signature Lange outsize date, a retrograde day of the week, peripheral month ring and a discrete leap year aperture at six o'clock. Meanwhile the small seconds display at seven o'clock incorporates a moon phase display with day night indication. There's no dial side view of the stop seconds tourbillon but it can be seen through the exhibition case back which displays the rest of the manufacture caliber L225.1. It's a stunning movement even for Lange's high standards and it boasts an 18 carat white gold winding rotor edged with platinum and hand engravings of tiny stars that feel right at home amongst the usual Lange constellation of blue steel screws and jewels. The case size is 41.9 millimeters so wears like 42 millimeters and it comes on a black alligator leather strap. This watch is limited to just 50 pieces. Lange also released two new versions of the Saxonia annual calendar. One in white gold with an argente dial and one in pink gold with a gray dial and both powered by a new self-winding movement the L207.1. They come with beautifully balanced dials that accommodate three sub dials for the month day and small seconds with moon phase display while Lange's signature outsized date sits below 12 o'clock. The moon phase display boasts a miniaturized image of the Milky Way and it needs to be corrected by only one day after 122.6 years. Through the exhibition case back you'll find another beautifully finished movement with the brand's signature hand engraved balance cock as well as a hollowed out centrally mounted winding rotor in gold which is also edged with platinum. At 36 millimeters these watches are on the right side of the dress watch spectrum and are a little smaller than Lange's previous Saxonia annual calendar models. On to Jaeger-LeCoultre next. With a watch powered by the restructured high precision caliber 978 this is the master grand tradition tourbillon jumping date. A sophisticated 42 millimeter watch in pink gold with an openworked dial in blue enamel with pink gold details that features an ultra light tourbillon with bridges of white gold a 24 hour disc and an intuitive jumping date mechanism where the dates are displayed around the periphery of the dial with 15 and 16 straddling the tourbillon. And so as not to obstruct the view of the tourbillon at midnight the date hand must leap from 15 over the tourbillon without falling in and land safely at 16 which it does flawlessly every month. This watch is a limited edition of a hundred pieces. Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced three new models into the new master control chronometer collection. This collection features integrated metal bracelets sleek case designs and a new Jaeger-LeCoultre seal the HPG seal standing for high precision guarantee and attesting to even higher quality. These three models consist of a date display model a perpetual calendar model and then one with a combination of power reserve and date. This date power reserve model comes in 39 millimeter steel and the other two models in a choice of steel or 18 carat pink gold with the perpetual calendar sizing at 39 millimeters and 38 millimeters for the date display model. Then we have the master and as the name suggests this watch is proper mental and it marks the start of a new series of Hybris watch the Hybris Inventiva which showcases a single groundbreaking complication in this case a new patent pending triple axis gyro tourbillon. It comprises 189 components and its three axes of rotation cover 98% of possible positions and make it one of the most precise tourbillon wrist watches ever. The sculptural dial is decorated with guilloche and translucent blue enamel and it's housed inside a 42 millimeter platinum case while the highly finished caliber 178 is visible on the reverse side. This is a limited edition of just 20 pieces. Then we have the open worked majesty of the master Hybris Mechanica ultra thin minute repeater tourbillon. Not only the world's thinnest automatic minute repeater tourbillon but also boasting next level skeletonization where the ingenious use of sapphire crystal for the bridges instead of metal reveals the stunning complexity of the caliber 362 and each of its 537 components which are all visible or at least it certainly feels like it with the operating sequence of the minute repeater mechanism and the tourbillon on full display. Encircling the open worked mechanical mastery is an 18 carat white gold dial ring with pink gold hour markers and this has also been open worked and reveals a guilloche 18 carat pink gold winding rotor beneath. Meanwhile the ultra thin automatic movement itself has been elegantly finished with 14 different decorative techniques and it's all housed inside an 18 carat pink gold case and this model is a limited edition of just 10 pieces. I've got mine where's yours? Finally from JLC we have four reverso watches each limited to 10 pieces and featuring depictions of the works of Japanese artist Hokusai with hand guilloche dials and grand faux enamel on the front and hand painted Hokusai miniatures on the reverse side featuring four images from a tour of the waterfalls of the provinces series reproduced in exquisite detail with each of the painted case backs and intricate dials representing almost 100 hours of work for a single watch and if you are hoping for Japanese waterfall masterpiece watches then you've done quite well this year.
