New releases from Breitling, JLC, Swatch and more

Pietro Pilla

This week we have seen some big collaborations: a superstar athlete’s first signature watch with a major watch brand, an iconic Japanese artist being enamelled on the back of an everlasting icon and even Homer Simpson’s favourite food making its way onto a Swatch. Nomos has also celebrated a major milestone – the 175th anniversary of watchmaking in Glashütte – with a luxurious new piece that’s something a bit different.

UniDesign Model One

• UniDesign makes a unique-looking timepiece focusing on the value proposition that microbrands are supposed to offer.
• The compact, stainless steel case is under 10mm thick, but this doesn’t prevent the watch from being water resistant to 100m.
• This sleek integrated sports watch has three dial configurations: green, blue and grey.

Zenith Chronomaster Sport Aaron Rodgers

• Zenith teams up with brand ambassador and NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers for their first-ever Chronomaster Sport Limited Edition.
• Functionally identical to the standard models, it introduces a first-ever green dial and ceramic bezel for the collection.

Breitling Avenger

• Breitling has unveiled the first major refresh of their Avenger collection since the range was relaunched in 2019.
• A millimetre has been shaved off all case sizes in the collection, although the Avenger in all its guises remains large and robust.
• The black ceramic and carbon fibre ‘Night Mission’ is a particular highlight.
