As a brand that’s been in the racing industry since the mid-’40s, Bulova knows auto-inspired watches. And now the brand has introduced a watch that represents the efforts it has put into motorsports, incorporating various aspects into the timepiece that align with its main principles.

The new timepiece has a 44 mm casing characterized by smooth curves and bends similar to those featured on high-end racing cars. To provide multiple styling options, the main case is available in two different finishes: black IP and stainless steel.

Every single element, from the bezel to the casing, is complemented by the two-toned tachymeter, which creates a magnificent contrast between different parts. But the stylish dial is definitely the cherry on the cake. It comes in multiple colors—black and blue—giving the watch a stylish look.

Thanks to the 24-hour chronograph subdial and 60-second subdial, Bulova passed down its timeless engineering spirit through this timepiece.

Bulova was the main sponsor of the Ferrari team in the NASCAR racing series in the mid-70s. In addition, it was involved in Formula One in the ‘80s by sponsoring the winner of the 1989 Japanese Grand Prix.

Since the Bulova watch is the perfect representation of an adrenaline-fueled spirit, it brings to life the excitement that drivers get while racing in different leagues. So, this new timepiece is a suitable option for different situations, from racing to day-to-day activities.

The Bulova Racer Chronograph retails from $595 to $695, and it is available in the Bulova store and other authorized retailers.

As the name hints, the new Citizen Eco-Drive Professional Diver 300m watch is all about eco-technology. For starters, it is a model inspired by an old Citizen watch, known as BN0156-05E. Every single detail, from the dial’s design and hour markers to the overall layout, bears a close resemblance to the BN0156-05E. But this edition focuses on sustainability and performance.

The new Citizen Promaster Eco-Drive Professional Diver draws its energy from the Cal. E365 movement, an extremely powerful mechanism with a 365-day power reserve.

Audemars Piguet Perpetual Calendar

Since 2025 is Audemars Piguet’s 150th anniversary, the brand rolled out new timepieces into the market to celebrate this feat featuring the new Calibre 7138. But one new watch bids farewell to the Calibre 5135: a limited-edition Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked will be the last watch to feature the movement that has powered the brand's 41 mm openworked selfwinding perpetual calendar watches for almost a decade.

The Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked "150th Anniversary" limited edition was rolled out with a 41mm casing that reflects light stylishly. Speaking of which, the watch also features an open-work design dating back to the early ‘80s—a tribute of some sort, launched on the 150th anniversary as a reminder of the original model. It was inspired by a pocket watch that's exhibited in the Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet (reference 25729). However, the titanium and Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG) on the case and bracelet keep the watch decidedly modern.

Audemars Piguet, one of the most iconic watch brands, has reimagined the perpetual calendar with the new-generation Calibre 7138. This self-winding perpetual calendar movement has debuted on the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar, a 41 mm watch in 18-carat white gold, and on two 41 mm Royal Oak models in stainless steel or 18-carat sand gold.

Sébastian Vivas, Heritage and Museum Director of Audemars Piguet, said, “Calendar watches have evolved over time to capture the cycles of celestial bodies with a combination of small cams and gears. Among them, the perpetual calendar – one of the most complex in this category – is like a small mechanical computer on the wrist capable of keeping the date correct for an entire century. Perpetual calendars have marked the history of Audemars Piguet since 1875.”
