Tissot reaches for the sky with two new watches that draw inspiration from the earth’s upper atmosphere. Lately, the brand has been working on timepieces that align with nature, such as the PRC Solar 100. The newest addition, PR 100, is inspired by the Jungfrau summit located in the Alps region and is offered in two dial colors.

While the first option features a striking silver dial, the second option is more subtle and laid-back, thanks to the blue dial. Both have an interesting imprint spanning from 5 o’clock to 7 o’clock, designed to pay tribute to the Alps mountain and add depth to the dial. The silver option breathes some life into the dial with blue hour markers, and the blue option adds some color on the front face with yellow hour markers.

Featuring a titanium case available in two sizes (36mm and 40 mm), this model can perfectly sit on different wrist sizes and fits the modern description of ergonomic watches, which are now getting smaller by the day.

Given that this watch is developed for various environments, it easily links with Strava to provide insight into the user’s performance. The PR 100 Jungfrau also draws energy from the sun.

As a watch that draws inspiration from outdoor scenes, it features multiple navigational tools, such as a compass, altimeter, and barometer. Apart from recreating beautiful scenes, Tissot will immerse the owners in an adventurous experience that explores the mountains.

The new PR 100 Jungfrau will be capped at 10,000 pieces. Every size, from 40 mm to 34 mm, has a $345 price tag.

Orient Star launches nanopartical metal dial

Orient Star presented two watches for its Contemporary Collection—these watches use new methods to create their faces. The M34 F8 Date models take inspiration from the Perseid meteor shower and showcase innovative techniques, bringing ideas from electronics into watchmaking.

The black dial version stands out. The company made only 160 of this limited watch, and it sells for about $3,656. This watch represents a true first in watchmaking—it applies nanoparticle metal layering to create the dial. This new process, adapted from electronics manufacturing, deposits layers of nanoparticle metal ink onto the dial multiple times. This gives the dial a sense of depth and captures the feel of deep space.

Breitling honors Scott Carpenter with platinum watch
Orbital legacy: Breitling's platinum tribute to space exploration pioneer
Breitling scott carpenter platinum watch

Sixty-three years after Scott Carpenter circled Earth, a custom Breitling Navitimer sat on his wrist. The Swiss maker now honors him with a platinum watch, which has a limited run. The Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute Scott Carpenter Centenary observes the American pilot's 100th birthday—it also recalls the story of the first Swiss watch to leave Earth's air.

On May 24, 1962, Carpenter became the second American to circle Earth. He flew as part of NASA's Mercury-Atlas 7 mission. A special Navitimer was on his wrist. Breitling altered it for space travel. The work began with a personal letter from Carpenter—he requested specific changes. He wanted a wider bezel for gloved hands and a stretch metal band for his space suit. Most notably, he asked for a 24-hour dial. In orbit, sunrise and sunset happen every 90 minutes. A regular 12-hour display does not show time well there.
