Luxury watchmaker product releases and technical updates

Overview

Various luxury watchmakers have announced new product expansions and technical advancements throughout late 2026. Longines refreshed its Master Collection with the introduction of the Master Collection Chrono Monopoussoir, a single-pusher chronograph utilizing the manual winding caliber L799.5 movement. Zenith introduced the Chronomaster Solo Sport, marking the first three-hand, time-only model within its Chronomaster collection. Moving away from the line’s traditional chronograph focus, this 40mm stainless steel watch emphasizes high-frequency capabilities via the El Primero 3620 automatic caliber, which operates at 5Hz and provides a 60-hour power reserve. The watch includes a ceramic bezel and water resistance up to 20 bar.

Zenith further expanded its offerings by introducing two new editions to the Defy Extreme line: the Lapis Lazuli II and the Ultraviolet. Both models utilize the El Primero 9004 automatic chronograph movement. The Lapis Lazuli II features a titanium and carbon case paired with a lapis lazuli dial, while the Ultraviolet edition employs an all-titanium case to showcase an electric-colored dial.

Citizen Watch Co. released two limited edition models from its Promaster line to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Eco-Drive technology, including the SKY series ‘Skyhawk’ and the LAND series ‘Tsuno Chrono’. Seiko expanded its Prospex Speedtimer collection with four new mechanical models, including two automatic chronographs and two three-hand date watches. The company also prepared a limited-edition Astron chronograph featuring GPS synchronization. H. Moser & Cie, in collaboration with Agenhor, released the Endeavour Flyback Chronograph Dual Time Date.
