2. ProPilot X Calibre 400 Laser: A technological beauty unleashed

Oris breaks new ground with the ProPilot X Calibre 400 Laser, showcasing a shimmering dial produced using an innovative lasering technique. This timepiece is a testament to Oris’s commitment to independence, sustainability, and technological innovation. The unique lasering process applied to the titanium dial creates a three-dimensional effect, offering levels of technological beauty never seen before in watchmaking.

The dial undergoes a mesmerizing color transformation, from blue to green to violet, inspired by biomimicry principles found in nature. The ProPilot X Calibre 400 Laser features a titanium case, bezel, and crown, coupled with a three-link titanium bracelet. The Oris Calibre 400, a five-day automatic movement with exceptional anti-magnetic properties, powers the watch. With a 10-year warranty and a dial that tells a remarkable story, this timepiece is a forward-thinking marvel.

3. ProPilot GMT: Back in a heartbeat with a high-flying style

Oris welcomes back the ProPilot GMT, designed for high-flying, timezone-crossing pilots. This new model features a stealthy grey-PVD-plated stainless steel case, a second time zone, and a pulsometer scale. The gradient red dial adds a punch of adventure, paying homage to Oris’s rich history of crafting pilot’s watches since 1938.

Legibility is a priority in pilot’s watches, and the ProPilot GMT excels with bright lume on the hands and indices against the high-contrast red dial. The watch is powered by an automatic mechanical movement with a 42-hour power reserve, ensuring reliability during long journeys. Paired with a black textile strap with a red leather lining and Oris’s patented ‘Lift’ clasp, this watch is a stylish companion for the modern aviator.

These three new Oris watches embody the brand’s commitment to timeless elegance, technological innovation, and a rich heritage in watchmaking. Whether you’re drawn to the retro charm of the Divers Sixty-Five, the technological marvel of the ProPilot X Calibre 400 Laser, or the high-flying style of the ProPilot GMT, Oris continues to set the bar high for watches that transcend mere timekeeping – they tell a story on your wrist. So, gentlemen, the question is not whether you need one of these watches; it’s which one will be your next statement piece.

How microbrand watches are carving a niche in the luxury timepiece market

We are currently in the midst of a microbrand revolution, and here, we break down how microbrands are quietly revolutionizing the watch world in their own singular way. In this deep dive, we explore the top microbrands making waves, their standout features, and whether they hold long-term value for collectors.

Urban Jürgensen revival captures watch world attention with modern approach
Danish legacy reborn: Urban jürgensen's 250-year heritage meets contemporary luxury under new ownership
Urban Jürgensen revival

Urban Jürgensen became 2025’s most discussed watch revival. A 250-year-old Danish horological legacy was transformed into a contemporary luxury brand through family ownership and the technical leadership of renowned independent watchmaker Kari Voutilainen. The brand’s Los Angeles launch event was the year’s most talked-about watch presentation.
Founded in Copenhagen in 1773, Urban Jürgensen produced over 700 timepieces in the early 1800s and developed technical innovations such as ultra-precise marine chronometers. Despite several ownership changes and near disappearance over two centuries, passionate collectors preserved the brand’s reputation among watch experts.
“The biggest, most respected collectors own Urban Jürgensen watches—this brand, this name, is simply the highest level,” said watch writer Thomas Brechtel, highlighting the devoted following among serious enthusiasts, even though the brand remains little known to the general public.
The Rosenfield family acquired Urban Jürgensen in 2021, bringing a collector’s passion to the brand’s stewardship. Co-CEO Alex Rosenfield’s father had collected Urban Jürgensen pieces since the 1990s, which led to an unexpected opportunity to acquire the company when it needed investment to restart.
Kari Voutilainen, widely regarded as one of the most acclaimed independent watchmakers, leads technical development, while his 25-year-old daughter Venla serves as COO. This partnership brings authentic watchmaking credibility while modernizing the brand’s communication to appeal to younger audiences.
The launch collection includes three models showcasing Voutilainen’s craftsmanship: the UJ-1 250th Anniversary Tourbillon limited to 75 pieces (CHF 368,000), the UJ-2 three-hand watch (CHF 105,000), and the UJ-3 perpetual calendar with moonphase (CHF 168,000). Each features clean Scandinavian dial aesthetics, fine guilloché, and hand-applied numerals.
“The image contrasts modern, playful marketing with serious, traditional watchmaking—but it works because it is grounded in artisanal quality,” observed JX Su, founder of SJX Watches.
Rosenfield’s approach emphasizes accessibility rather than exclusivity, targeting a diverse audience including women and younger collectors, not just established enthusiasts. Ellen von Unwerth’s “Time Well-Spent” campaign, featuring people aged 19 to 82, reflects this inclusive vision.
This revival shows how historic watch brands can succeed today by combining genuine craftsmanship with contemporary communication strategies.

Frederique Constant unveils new Healey limited editions in pale blue
Racing heritage: Frederique constant's healey collaboration shifts to pale blue inspiration
Frederique constant's healey editions

Frederique Constant has extended its partnership with British carmaker Healey, marking two decades of collaboration. This year, two new limited editions have been introduced, departing from the traditional British Racing Green. Instead, they feature pale blue dials inspired by early 1960s Austin-Healey 3000 MKII models. Priced at €1,695 and €3,395, these timepieces continue an unusual collaboration that began in 2004.
At the heart of the partnership is a single historic vehicle: the ex-Works 1953–55 Austin-Healey 100S Special Test Car, registration NOJ393. This car competed in the World Sports Car Championship and was sold unrestored at Bonhams in 2011 for £843,000 ($1,000,000). Since then, it has been restored to its 1955 Le Mans specification.
Unlike typical automotive collaborations that focus on brand logos and color matching, Frederique Constant’s approach is different. The brand aims to capture the essence of this specific car and also supports Healey classic car rallies and community programs. Over 20 years, the partnership has produced many timepieces, most featuring the 100S’s distinctive green livery.
This year’s editions take a new aesthetic direction. The pale blue sunray dials with metallic coloring are inspired by the early 1960s Austin-Healey 3000 MKII, moving away from the traditional green to reflect the broader Austin-Healey palette while maintaining a connection to racing heritage.
The three-handed automatic variant features a curvaceous 36mm polished steel case, incorporating both Frederique Constant and Healey dial elements. Applied hour markers, including an oversized 12, are hand-polished silver with white luminous material. The bright red central seconds hand adds a sporty, dashboard-inspired touch, while the dark blue minute track flange matches the co-signing.
The chronograph edition measures 41mm and has a polished steel case with a two-counter layout. Bright red accents appear on both the central chronograph hand and the 30-minute subdial, which sits opposite the small seconds display. This color coordination visually connects to automotive instrumentation while maintaining horological function.
Both models are paired with blue leather straps and closed case backs engraved with the historic 100S. Each is limited to 1,888 pieces, emphasizing the partnership’s exclusivity while still offering reasonable availability for enthusiasts.
The automatic model costs €1,695, making it an accessible entry point into the collaboration. The chronograph is priced at €3,395, targeting collectors seeking additional complications. These price points are competitive with similar Swiss offerings and provide a sense of automotive provenance.
Frederique Constant has also reintroduced the 40mm 2023 Classics Vintage Rally Healey Automatic, featuring a steel case and British Racing Green dial. This model becomes a core collection piece, losing its limited edition status to broaden accessibility.
This partnership demonstrates how authentic collaborations can move beyond typical co-branding, emphasizing genuine community engagement and respect for automotive heritage. The result is a series of distinctive timepieces that appeal to both watch and car enthusiasts
