Hamilton’s Chrono-Matic 50 has been getting better with time. While the previous model was rolled out in 2019, it leaned more toward the retro style. The 2025 edition, however, is the contemporary version of the models that came before. It comes with new features that elevate the design to a whole new level. But, it’s worthwhile to note that a few features were still preserved, so the watch has a retro-like theme that smoothly blends with contemporary features.

Think of the new Hamilton watch as a bridge between retro and contemporary styles. Unlike the previous model from 2019, the 2025 watch has new striking, stylish colors. It comes with a blue dial, accentuated with white subdials strategically positioned at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock for enhanced precision. As a throwback to the original design, the new watch was rolled out with a large casing, similar to the one on the first watch.

Every single detail that’s featured on the casing, from the curved-like shape to the brushed finish, was inspired by the previous model and the original watch from the ’70s.

Thanks to the orange denotations, the front face has a very vibrant appearance. The casing is complemented by orange pushers that create a beautiful color contrast.

The strap also blends smoothly with the stainless steel case. It is blue in color but has orange perforations that add to the whole look.

Since the Hamilton Chrono-Matic 50 is a limited edition watch, only 150 pieces will be rolled out into the market. If you’re interested, each piece is priced at $2,600.

Bell & Ross’ BR-03 Astro pushes limits with space-themed design
This Bell & Ross watch will give you an astronomical tour of the outer universe
Bell & Ross BR-03 Astro

Bell & Ross' BR-03 Astro paints a clear picture of what Earth looks like from space. The center of the dial has a big sphere that looks so realistic—everything that surrounds planet Earth, from the stars to the moon, has been featured on the dial.

Earth sits at the dial's center, and the moon rotates around the sphere to track the minutes. The brand went all out with this new watch and redefined the conventional way of doing things. Instead of printing a picture in the middle of the dial, it chiseled a 3D sphere on the center of the watch. As a result, the watch has a huge sapphire crystal.

A world map at night: Laurent Ferrier’s Classic Traveller Globe Night Blue
A beautiful night-time view
Laurent Ferrier Classic Traveller Globe Night Blue

The Laurent Ferrier Classic Traveller Globe Night Blue dial will take your breath away, thanks to the atlas map that’s featured at the center of the front face. For starters, it is quite unique due to the nighttime theme—a representation of the world at night. While numerous watch models have an atlas map, most focus only on the daytime aspect.

Laurent is one of the few brands that executed the nighttime theme with yellow and dark blue color accents. Yellow is quite effective in painting a clear picture of how cities light up at night.
