New releases from Parmigiani Fleurier, Ulysse Nardin, Gerald Charles and more

Pietro Pilla

In the rising warmth of the European summer, we fortunately have a couple of new ocean-inspired watches bringing a breath of fresh air to this torrid weather thanks to Ulysse Nardin and Oris in particular. We also have some ice-cold gem-set watches to lower the temperature even further with debuts from Parmigiani Fleurier and Gerald Charles, plus a fan-favourite affordable watch brand collaborating with a Spanish football legend. Discover the rest of our weekly recap below and let us know your favourites from the week when we post the roundup on Instagram!

Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF 36mm

Parmigiani Fleurier has released three more references for the Tonda PF Automatic 36mm.
These small-cased watches showcase glamour yet maintain PF’s signature ‘private luxury’ sensibility.
Despite their size and use of 18k rose gold, they’re still water-resistant to 100 metres and have great movement specifications.

Ulysse Nardin Diver Atoll

Ulysse Nardin strengthens its connection to the sea with the introduction of an elegantly dressed diver.
The dial is made of chrysocolla, a colourful mineral that reminds one of an overview of a distant atoll, hence the name.
The watch is limited to 100 pieces and each one is almost unique because of the nature of the material used for the dial.

Gerald Charles Masterlink Sarawak

Gerald Charles unveils for the first time the predecessor to the Masterlink collection, with its asymmetric integrated bracelet.
It was made as an exclusive piece for the Royal family of Sarawak, a state in Malaysia.
It features over 15 carats of gems that completely cover the timepiece in diamonds and rubies.

Czapek & Cie Place Vendome Complicité Stardust Cobalt

Czapek introduces a new variation of its double regulator Place Vendome Complicité.
Developed in collaboration with Lederer, this time there’s a change in the crystal used, from a sapphire box to a domed one.
While maintaining the overall look, this time the grey finish of the dial is completed by heat-blued hands and indices.

Monta Noble Voyager

Monta, famous for its comfortable bracelets, presents a new complication in the Noble case.
Maintaining a very slim profile and 150m water resistance, the American brand adds a GMT complication to its more elegant line.
Available in the already successful sunray blue dial, there’s also the addition of a green dial with the same finish.

Oris Aquis Great Barrier Reef Limited Edition IV

Oris reiterates its support to the Australian non-profit Reef Restoration Foundation with a new Aquis model.
Based on the 43.5mm case of the Aquis Date, it’s equipped with a (almost scratch-proof) tungsten bezel.
The blue-green gradient dial features a radial finish starting from the top to mimic the effect of light in sea water.

Nivada Grenchen Chronosport

The new Nivada Grenchen Chronosport is a remake of an unreleased 1970s prototype.
The original dial was manufactured by Singer, who also made Rolex Paul Newman Daytona dials.
It’s even powered by a Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph movement for retro-thematic accuracy.

Waltham A17 Pilot

American-rooted company Waltham has released the A17 Pilot in homage to the A17 – originally specified by the USAF in 1948.
It was initially created to accompany long-range bomber crews based in Europe, but then saw use during the Korean War and later.
The watch is full of vintage touches, from the ‘lollipop’ seconds hand to the knurled bezel and caseback.

Casio x Andrés Iniesta G-SHOCK 5600 Series

Casio honours Spanish footballer Andrès Iniesta with an iconic G-SHOCK 5600 series.
While pretty conservative at first glance, all texts on the dial are in red and yellow, the colours of the Spanish National team.
Other than the name of the player on the lower side of the dial, when the light is activated, the silhouette of one iconic goal appears.

Apiar Invenire

British microbrand Apiar presents the Invenire as a testament to the highly technical engineering it advocates.
The case is made in titanium grade 23, with a process of additive manufacturing that allows complex shapes.
Not only are its cases British-made but so are its dials – made by Bedford Dials specifically – with a CNC-made texture available in multiple colours.
