Statement Dials
New Oris Watches

Oris Big Crown Pointer Date

The new Oris Big Crown Pointer Date watches take all the original design codes, crafted for Pilot’s watches – the oversized crown, coloured tip on the date hand and large Arabic numerals- and take them one level higher in these joyfully coloured new timepieces. With fresh colours and a newly designed bracelet, these models have a lot to offer.
Crafted in a 40mm stainless steel case and a matching bracelet with a mix of brushed and polished finishes, along with a H-link design, this enhanced look features a sporty edge and new levels of versatility. Presented in three colour ways, vibrant yellow, lilac and blue.
“The design is so simple, so timeless and so iconic, and we wanted to breathe fresh life into it and to give our customers access to it in a new way. The colour choices are all tied to the philosophy I’ve just talked about – they’re warm, inviting and joyful. How could you look at a yellow-dialled Big Crown Pointer Date and not smile? It’s that simple.” – Rolf Studer, Oris CEO.
Powered by the calibre 754, offering a power reserve of 41 hours, these Watches and Wonders releases are a playful take on the legendary story of the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date – we’re obsessed!

Adding a smaller case size offering to the Big Crown collection, the 34mm version comes complete with a sparkling enhancement. Constructed in a stainless steel case with the same new bracelet, it offers a refined, elegant look and feel.
The textured brown dial is complemented by 12 baguette cut diamonds, each one adorning the baton hour markers for a beautiful Art Deco feel. Powered by the calibre 531, this timepiece is equipped with a power reserve of 42 hours. The perfect functional watch if you’re a lover of sparkle!
New Grand Seiko Watch
Building on their iconic Spring Drive movement, the new Grand Seiko Evolution 9 timepiece features technical enhancements, whilst staying true to the brand’s Japanese heritage.
Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Collection Spring Drive U.F.A.
Supplier codes: SLGB001, SLGB003
Introducing the Grand Seiko Spring Drive Caliber 9RB2 – a stunning blend of artistry and precision that takes the brand’s selection of movements to new heights. With the Ultra Fine Accuracy (U.F.A.) label, this remarkable movement offers an extraordinary accuracy of ±20 seconds per year, making it the most accurate mainspring-powered wristwatch out there. And the best part? It's housed in a sleek 37mm case, making it the smallest model to feature the 9R series movement yet.
Crafted from High-Intensity Titanium, which is about 30% lighter than stainless steel, this watch features a matching titanium bracelet that’s as sleek as it is comfortable. We’re in awe of the dial inspired by the frosty beauty of Japan's Shinshu region with a silver-tinged blue hue.
Inside, the movement uses a newly developed quartz oscillator for top-notch precision, vacuum-sealed for thermal stability. Plus, the new regulation switch ensures precision even after years of use. With 72 hours of power reserve and 100m water resistance, it’s ready for whatever your day brings. Available June 2025, with just 80 pieces of the Platinum model – talk about exclusive!

Frederique Constant Classics Perpetual Calendar Manufacture
Supplier code: FC-776SAL3H6
Pioneering watchmaking at an accessible price point, Frederique Constant wowed watch enthusiasts almost ten years ago with its Perpetual Calendar watch, able to track the day, month and date simultaneously, whilst taking leap years into account.

Complemented by hand-assembled and hand-polished Dauphine hands, more slender hour markers, and a ‘sector dial’ minute track, it has everything retro watch enthusiasts dream of.

Vintage Styles
New Bremont Watches
Last year at Watches and Wonders, we saw Bremont unveil their new Terra Nova and Supermarine collections. This year, the British watchmaker are welcoming the third and final pillar, the new Altitude collection of aviation-inspired timepieces, to their repertoire. Their trend of choice? Vintage-style, clean designs with classic details inspired by traditional pilot’s watches.
Bremont Altitude
Releasing the Altitude MB Meteor, Altitude 39 Date and Altitude Chronograph GMT watches, these models are a streamlined, refined and upgraded take on previous versions, created for the toughest of cockpits, and tested in the most extreme conditions.
Crafted in either Grade 2 titanium or stainless steel, the case features Bremont’s evolved Trip-Tick case; a three pert construction that features a flexible rubber mount around the movement, soft-iron ring and Roto-Click technology to ensure the inner rotating bezel boasts superior precision. This construction promises exceptional levels of anti-magnetism and shock-resistance.
Refining the timepiece’s case Bremont have enhanced the watches’ ergonomics with the angled bezel profile and ‘glassbox’ sapphire crystal, with improved legibility thanks to the Super-LumiNova® markers. With details inspired by the cockpit – the dashed line around the date window and stencilled motif for the numerals, this timepiece is destined for the high skies.
These models are paired with either a bracelet or NATO strap, boasting a water resistance of 100m. And with the choice of chronograph and GMT functions, and black or silver dials, each watch is equipped for every adventure.
The availability of these timepieces is yet to be confirmed. For more information, contact our Customer Services and Sales Team on 0800 169 2329, or start a live chat.
