Our Top Releases from Watches & Wonders

by TGR Staff - 03/28/2023

Watches and Wonders is one of the most highly anticipated trade shows in the luxury watch industry. Held annually, the event showcases the latest timepieces and horological innovations from some of the most prestigious brands in the world. Originally established as the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) in Switzerland in 1991, the event rebranded as Watches and Wonders and has since expanded to include virtual and physical exhibitions in multiple cities around the world. From cutting-edge technology to traditional craftsmanship, Watches and Wonders offer an unparalleled glimpse into the world of luxury watchmaking.

This year there have been a number of significant releases, here are some of our favorites:

New Tudor Black Bay

Tudor introduces the newest Black Bay, the latest technical and aesthetic evolution of the emblematic diving watch with a burgundy bezel. Representing the latest in Black Bay, this model features evolved design elements, a “T-fit” clasp, and is Master Chronometer-certified by METAS.

Tudor Black Bay GMT

Tudor has unveiled a fresh opaline dial for its beloved Black Bay GMT at Watches & Wonders. This latest addition features the same iconic 41mm steel case, "Pepsi" bezel, and in-house caliber movement as the much-adored classic, but with a new "polar" off-white hue for the dial.

Angelus Chronodate Titanium 

The Chronodate Titanium exudes a neo-retro vibe with its 42.5 mm case, which houses a carbon-fiber composite container that holds the movement. To bring the case middle and lugs into a unified line, Angelus has designed an attachment system comprising a titanium open-worked cradle. 

Rolex Explorer 40mm

The largest Explorer ever produced is crafted from a single block of corrosion-resistant Oystersteel, the latest Explorer measures 40mm in diameter and boasts a slim profile of 11.60mm. Its Twinlock screw-down crown and sealed caseback guarantee water resistance up to 100m. The Oyster bracelet, composed of three links, is equipped with the Oysterlock folding safety clasp and the brand's Easylink comfort extension link, allowing for 5mm adjustments to the bracelet. Resembling its predecessors, the flat steel bezel has a polished finish, while the middle case and bracelet showcase satin-brushed textures with polished bevels.

New Cosmograph Daytona

Rolex has introduced the latest iteration of its Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona, featuring updates across the entire collection. While the case and dial's distinctive design has been a hallmark of the chronograph since its inception, the brand has enhanced several details with subtle refinements including a new movement. 

TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph

The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph pays homage to its racing roots by reviving the original 1963 Carrera design and updating it for the future with fresh aesthetics. Two 42mm models, featuring distinct blue and black dials, are accentuated with a vibrant gradient orange detailing reminiscent of vintage race car speedometers. Made with stainless steel and adorned with luxurious calfskin bracelets, these contemporary timepieces are well-equipped for the race track.
