Celebrating 60 Years Of PADI: Seiko Reveals The Prospex HBB002

MRSTATELESS NEW RELEASES, SEIKO 2026, Diver, Limited Edition, PADI 0

Seiko continues its long-standing partnership with the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) by introducing the new Prospex Diver’s Watch PADI 60th Anniversary HBB002. The release commemorates two important milestones: PADI’s 60th anniversary in 2026 and a decade of collaboration between Seiko and the world’s largest diving training organization.

Built on the popular King Turtle platform, the new limited edition combines the robust specifications of one of Seiko’s most recognizable dive watches with a dial design created specifically for the anniversary celebration.

A Distinctive Anniversary Dial

The standout feature of the new HBB002 is undoubtedly its commemorative dial. Inspired by PADI’s 60th-anniversary logo, the dial incorporates blue and red accents while featuring a globe motif that spans its surface, emphasizing the international reach of the diving organization.

The blue dial is complemented by a red central seconds hand and matching red “Diver’s 200m” text above the six o’clock marker. Applied hour markers and broad hands are filled with Seiko’s Lumibrite luminous material, ensuring excellent visibility in low-light and underwater conditions. A day-date display positioned at 3 o’clock is magnified through a cyclops lens integrated into the sapphire crystal.

Protecting the dial is a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating on the inner surface, while a blue ceramic bezel insert adds durability and a premium touch to the overall design.

The Familiar King Turtle Case

The watch retains the iconic King Turtle architecture that has become a favorite among Seiko dive-watch enthusiasts. Its stainless steel case measures 45 mm in diameter and 13.20 mm in thickness, featuring the characteristic cushion-shaped profile and screw-down crown positioned at 4 o’clock.

Alternating brushed and polished surfaces provide visual contrast, while the ergonomic case shape helps improve comfort despite its substantial dimensions. As expected from a professional dive watch, the HBB002 offers water resistance of up to 200 meters.

Powered by the Calibre 4R36

Inside the case is Seiko’s proven automatic Calibre 4R36. Operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour (3Hz), the movement delivers approximately 41 hours of power reserve when fully wound.

The movement supports both hand-winding and hacking seconds functionality, making it a reliable choice for everyday wear as well as recreational diving applications.

Bracelet and Additional Strap

The Prospex Diver’s Watch PADI 60th Anniversary HBB002 is supplied on a stainless steel bracelet equipped with a three-fold clasp, push-button release system, and diver’s extension for use over a wetsuit.

In addition, Seiko includes a black silicone strap featuring the full “Professional Association of Diving Instructors” name, offering a sportier alternative for underwater use.

Limited Availability

The Seiko Prospex Diver’s Watch PADI 60th Anniversary HBB002 will be available from July 2026 as a limited edition of 8,000 pieces worldwide. Pricing is set at € 750, making it an accessible commemorative model that combines the proven capabilities of the King Turtle platform with exclusive anniversary-themed details celebrating one of diving’s most influential organizations.

A Closer Look At The New Squale 2001 Marina Militare

Ricardo Amaral NEW RELEASES, SQUALE 2026, Diver, Limited Edition, Marina Militare 0

Squale has unveiled the 2001 Marina Militare, a limited-edition professional dive watch developed according to the specifications requested by the Italian Navy (Marina Militare). Originally created exclusively for military personnel, this civilian release offers enthusiasts the opportunity to own the same watch supplied to members of one of Europe’s most respected naval forces.

Inspired by a Longstanding Military Partnership

Squale’s connection to professional diving and military operations dates back decades. During the 1960s and 1970s, the company became known for manufacturing robust dive watch cases used by numerous watch brands. Its collaboration with the Italian Navy began in the 1980s and continues today, resulting in purpose-built timepieces designed for demanding underwater environments.

The new 2001 Marina Militare is based on the brand’s established 2001 diver but incorporates several modifications requested directly by the Italian Navy.

Enlarged Case Designed for Enhanced Presence

One of the most noticeable differences is the redesigned stainless steel case. While retaining the characteristic 4 o’clock screw-down crown that has defined the 2001 collection since the 1960s, the Marina Militare version features larger dimensions than the standard model.

The case measures 41.50 mm in diameter and 47.20 mm lug-to-lug, providing greater wrist presence compared to the regular 2001. The watch maintains its professional diving credentials with an impressive 600-meter water resistance rating.

Protecting the dial is a flat sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment, while the caseback is engraved with the official emblem of the Marina Militare.

Military-Inspired Blue Dial

The dial adopts a deep blue color selected according to the Italian Navy’s specifications, reportedly inspired by the shade used in the branch’s ceremonial uniforms.

Legibility was a key priority during development. The watch features large applied hour markers filled with Super-LumiNova, arranged in a classic dive watch configuration with an inverted triangle at 12 o’clock, rectangular markers at 6 and 9 o’clock, and circular indices for the remaining hours.

Complementing the dial is a matching sapphire bezel insert with a fully graduated scale. The bezel incorporates Squale’s push-to-turn locking system, helping prevent accidental adjustments during diving activities.

Reliable Swiss Automatic Movement

Powering the watch is the Swiss-made Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement, a proven caliber widely used throughout the industry for its reliability and ease of servicing.

The movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz), offers hacking seconds for precise time-setting, and provides approximately 38 hours of power reserve.

Bracelet and Strap Options

Squale supplies the 2001 Marina Militare with two wearing options. Buyers receive a blue rubber strap suitable for aquatic use, alongside a stainless steel bracelet featuring distinctive ladder-style ventilation sections near the case.

The combination allows the watch to transition easily between professional diving applications and everyday wear.

Limited Edition of 500 Pieces

According to Squale, the civilian version is identical to the watches issued to members of the Italian Navy, sharing the same dimensions, specifications, markings, and serial numbering system.

As part of the agreement permitting this public release, Squale has confirmed that this specific combination of enlarged case and Marina Militare blue dial will not be produced again.

The Squale 2001 Marina Militare is limited to 500 pieces worldwide and comes presented in a wooden box, accompanied by both a stainless steel bracelet and a blue rubber strap. The limited-edition diver is available for € 1,990.

Favre Leuba Expands Deep Raider Collection With New Revival Orange Edition

MRSTATELESS FAVRE LEUBA, NEW RELEASES 2026, Diver 0

Favre Leuba continues to build on its growing Deep Raider collection with the introduction of the new Deep Raider Revival Orange, a dive watch that combines vintage-inspired design with modern specifications. Drawing inspiration from the brand’s colorful underwater timepieces of the 1970s, the latest model introduces a striking orange dial while retaining the architecture and performance of the existing Revival series.

A Retro-Inspired Dial With Contemporary Details

The most striking feature of the Deep Raider Revival Orange is its anthracite dial with sunray finish and vibrant orange accents., a color choice inspired by historical Favre Leuba dive watches, including the Bathy 160. The dial maintains the collection’s signature crosshair design, enhancing legibility while reinforcing its vintage character.

Applied markers and bold hands are filled with Super-LumiNova to ensure visibility in low-light conditions. The handset consists of a sword-shaped hour hand accompanied by arrow-tipped minute and seconds hands. A discreet date aperture is positioned at 4:30.

A subtle update distinguishes this model from earlier versions. Instead of the previous “Deep Blue” wording found on the dial, Favre Leuba now displays the watch’s depth rating, further emphasizing its professional diving credentials.

Compact Dive Watch Proportions

The stainless steel case preserves the dimensions that have defined the Revival collection. Measuring 39 mm in diameter and 12.75 mm thick, the watch offers classic dive-watch proportions suited to a wide range of wrist sizes.

The case combines brushed and polished surfaces, creating visual contrast while maintaining a robust tool-watch appearance. Softly curved case flanks contribute to wearing comfort, while a sapphire crystal protects the dial from scratches.

Surrounding the crystal is a unidirectional rotating bezel fitted with a black sapphire insert. Orange accents on the bezel complement the dial, while vintage-inspired numerals and markings reinforce the watch’s retro aesthetic. A luminous triangle at 12 o’clock ensures quick orientation during underwater use.

Water resistance is rated at 300 meters, making the Deep Raider Revival Orange fully capable of recreational and professional diving activities.

Automatic Movement With Extended Power Reserve

Inside the watch is the automatic FLD01 calibre, based on the well-regarded La Joux-Perret G100 platform. Operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz), the movement delivers reliable timekeeping while offering a substantial 68-hour power reserve.

Bracelet and Additional Strap

The Deep Raider Revival Orange is delivered on Favre Leuba’s integrated five-link stainless steel bracelet. Featuring distinctive triangular center links, the bracelet contributes significantly to the watch’s vintage-inspired appearance.

For added versatility, the brand also includes an orange fabric strap that matches the dial color, allowing owners to switch to a sportier and more casual look.

Price and Availability

The Favre Leuba Deep Raider Revival Orange is available with a retail price of € 2,900. Combining retro design cues, modern dive-watch specifications, and a bold color palette, it adds a fresh option to the expanding Deep Raider lineup.

Nodus Updates The Sector Deep With Damascus Steel And New Movement

MRSTATELESS NEW RELEASES, NODUS 2026, Diver 0

Independent watch brand Nodus has unveiled the new Sector Deep Damascus, a more premium interpretation of its professional dive watch that combines a stealth-inspired design with upgraded specifications and distinctive materials.

Part of the versatile Sector collection, the Sector Deep was developed as the most water-resistant and dive-focused model within the lineup. This latest Damascus edition enhances the formula with a DLC-coated case, Damascus steel bezel, and a new automatic movement with an extended power reserve.

Compact Dimensions With Professional Dive Capability

The watch retains the collection’s recognizable case construction. The stainless steel mid-case measures 38 mm in diameter, while the bezel expands outward to 42 mm, creating a larger visual presence on the wrist while maintaining compact wearing proportions.

The case features a gunmetal grey DLC coating, giving the watch a darker appearance without going fully blacked-out. Built for serious underwater use, the Sector Deep Damascus delivers an impressive 500 meters of water resistance.

A key highlight of the watch is its Damascus steel bezel insert, which showcases the layered metal’s characteristic wave-like patterns beneath a black DLC coating. The finish remains subtle while adding texture and individuality to the design.

The bezel itself is designed with dual functionality, combining a traditional 60-minute dive timer with a 12-hour scale that can also be used to track a second time zone.

Functional Dial Designed For Maximum Legibility

The dial adopts a clean and highly legible layout centered around underwater visibility. Its black surface is paired with large square hour markers filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova for enhanced readability in low-light conditions.

White hour and seconds hands contrast sharply against the dark dial, while the bright orange minute hand ensures immediate visibility during dives. The color choice is particularly fitting for a dive watch, as orange is widely recognized for its strong underwater visibility.

A date window positioned at 6 o’clock integrates neatly into the dial thanks to its matching black background, preserving the symmetry and overall clarity of the display.

Upgraded Automatic Movement

Inside the Sector Deep Damascus is the Miyota 8315 automatic movement, replacing the Seiko NH35 used in previous versions of the model.

The upgraded calibre offers a 60-hour power reserve, improving significantly over the 41-hour reserve of its predecessor. The movement is protected by a solid screw-down caseback engraved with wave-inspired detailing and technical information.

Price And Availability

The Nodus Sector Deep Damascus is priced at approximately € 694 (excluding taxes), representing a step up from the standard Sector Deep models while maintaining competitive value within the professional dive watch segment.

With its combination of compact dimensions, 500m water resistance, Damascus steel bezel, and upgraded movement, the new release delivers a more refined take on Nodus’ capable modern diver.

TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph Expands With Four New Models

MRSTATELESS NEW RELEASES, TAG HEUER 2026, Diver, Quartz, Titanium 0

TAG Heuer has unveiled four new additions to the Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph collection, introducing updated case details, refined finishing, and lightweight materials powered by the brand’s solar-driven TH50-00 movement.

The latest lineup includes two stainless steel models with blue and green dials, alongside two titanium executions in Grade 2 and Grade 5 titanium. While all four references share the same core specifications and redesigned architecture, each version offers a distinct personality ranging from sporty everyday wear to more technical or luxurious aesthetics.

Updated Case Design And Enhanced Ergonomics

The new Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph models feature a 40 mm case with a thickness of just 9.97 mm, maintaining a slim profile despite their 200-meter water resistance.

One of the key visual updates is the redesigned unidirectional bezel, now equipped with six rider tabs for improved grip. The bezel combines a textured grained base with raised sunray-brushed numerals, adding depth and contrast to the overall design.

TAG Heuer has also introduced a new fluted case flange at 9 o’clock, balancing the crown guards positioned at 3 o’clock and giving the case a more symmetrical appearance. Together with the dodecagonal bezel, the angular case architecture reinforces the sporty identity of the collection.

The screw-down crown now incorporates a grooved section for additional grip, while the Grade 2 titanium model stands out with a polar-blue ring surrounding the crown.

Solar-Powered TH50-00 Movement

All four references are powered by the TAG Heuer TH50-00 Solargraph caliber, a solar-powered quartz movement designed for convenience and low maintenance.

The movement charges through both natural and artificial light. According to TAG Heuer, only two minutes of direct sunlight provides enough energy for an entire day of operation, while approximately 40 hours of exposure fully charges the watch for up to 10 months of autonomy in complete darkness.

Each model features a solid caseback decorated with a solar-themed medallion, highlighting the collection’s solar-powered technology.

Stainless Steel Models

The stainless steel versions arrive with either a deep blue or vibrant green dial, both decorated with horizontal grooves inspired by teak decking and finished with a sunray-brushed effect.

These references combine brushed and polished surfaces throughout the case and bracelet, including polished center links that add a more refined appearance compared to traditional tool-watch finishes.

The updated applied hour markers now feature a sharper triangular design, while the date window at 6 o’clock receives a slim metallic frame for a cleaner integration into the dial layout.

Matching steel bracelets include a quick-release system and a dual-button folding clasp, allowing easy strap changes without tools.

Grade 2 Titanium: Technical And Lightweight

The Grade 2 titanium model delivers a more utilitarian look thanks to its darker tone and fully sandblasted finish across the case and bracelet.

Signature polar-blue accents appear throughout the watch, including the five-minute markers, central seconds hand, “Solargraph” text, and crown ring. These blue details have become a recognizable design element within the Solargraph collection since its debut.

The titanium bezel combines sandblasted textures with sunray-brushed rider tabs and numerals, emphasizing the watch’s technical character while maintaining strong legibility.

Grade 5 Titanium With Rose-Tone Details

Positioned as the most premium version in the collection, the Grade 5 titanium model introduces a more sophisticated execution with alternating brushed and polished finishes.

Its gray sunray-brushed dial is paired with rose-gold-tone hands, hour markers, minute accents, and a framed date aperture, creating a warmer and more luxurious contrast against the titanium case.

Like the steel models, the bracelet also incorporates polished center links, while retaining the lightweight benefits of titanium construction.

Pricing

The new TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph collection is priced at € 3,050 for the stainless steel models, € 3,600 for the grade 2 titanium reference, and € 3,800 for the grade 5 titanium one.

With updated proportions, refined finishing, and solar-powered functionality, the latest Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph models continue to expand TAG Heuer’s modern sports watch lineup while offering lightweight practicality and everyday versatility.

Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph “007 First Light” Revealed

Ricardo Amaral NEW RELEASES, OMEGA 007, 2026, Chronograph, Diver 0

Omega expands its long-standing association with the world of James Bond with a new take on one of its most robust dive chronographs. The latest release, the Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph “007 First Light,” draws inspiration not from a film, but from the upcoming 007 First Light video game—marking a new direction for the franchise’s watch collaborations.

Rather than reinventing the Seamaster formula, this model refines the existing Diver 300M Chronograph platform with thematic visual updates and subtle material contrasts, while keeping the core technical architecture intact.

A Familiar Seamaster Platform, Built for Depth and Function

At its core, the watch retains the familiar Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph architecture. The stainless-steel case measures 44 mm in diameter, with a substantial 17.20 mm thickness and a lug-to-lug length of approximately 52.80 mm. These dimensions place it firmly in the category of large, tool-oriented dive watches, designed for visibility and presence rather than understatement.

Water resistance remains rated to 300 meters, consistent with the Diver 300M line. One of the defining technical traits of this chronograph is its sealed pusher system, which allows chronograph operation without compromising water resistance. Unlike traditional dive chronographs that rely on screw-down pushers, this gasket-based solution enables timing functions even in wet environments, reinforcing its tool-watch credentials.

Ceramic, Steel, and High-Contrast Finishing

Visually, the watch continues Omega’s modern Seamaster design language, which combines polished stainless steel with extensive use of ceramic. The bezel is crafted in black zirconium-oxide ceramic and features a white enamel diving scale, ensuring both durability and strong legibility under varying light conditions.

The signature wave-pattern dial is also executed in glossy black ceramic, a hallmark of the contemporary Seamaster 300M aesthetic. This textured surface not only adds depth but also enhances light play across the dial.

Chronograph pushers and select dial accents introduce black ceramic elements for visual continuity, while the overall design maintains the high-contrast black-and-white palette typical of the collection.

Subtle Bronze Gold Accents for Function and Contrast

A defining detail of this edition lies in its restrained use of 9K Bronze Gold PVD-coated elements. These appear primarily on the chronograph seconds hand and the stacked subdial hand assembly at 3 o’clock, where elapsed minutes and hours are displayed together.

This choice is not purely decorative. The warm metallic tone naturally draws the eye toward the chronograph readout, improving legibility within an otherwise visually dense dial layout. Against the monochrome ceramic backdrop, the bronze-toned accents serve as functional markers rather than ornamental highlights.

Movement: Master Chronometer Chronograph Performance

Inside the case sits the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9900, an automatic chronograph movement developed for high precision and resistance to magnetic fields. It offers a power reserve of approximately 60 hours and is certified by METAS, ensuring performance standards that go beyond traditional chronometer testing.

The movement features a column-wheel chronograph architecture and a vertical clutch system, which helps ensure smooth operation of the chronograph seconds hand without stuttering or jump at activation. The calibre is visible through a sapphire caseback, which is printed with “FIRST LIGHT,” referencing the game collaboration.

Powering the movement is a 54-jewel architecture, operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), balancing precision with long-term reliability and stability across a wide range of conditions.

Strap and Wearability

The watch is delivered on a NATO-style strap, reinforcing its tool-watch positioning and military-inspired aesthetic. While this choice improves comfort and versatility for casual wear, it also adds to the overall wrist presence of the watch, which is already significant due to its case height and diameter.

Given its proportions, this is a watch that leans heavily toward larger wrists, and its visual weight is amplified further by the strap configuration.

Price and Availability

The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph “007 First Light” is priced at CHF 7,300. Positioned in line with the standard Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph range, it avoids the typical premium often associated with special editions, instead focusing on design differentiation rather than pricing exclusivity.

Favre Leuba Expands Deep Raider Collection With New Power Reserve Model

MRSTATELESS FAVRE LEUBA, NEW RELEASES 2026, Diver, Power Reserve 0

The historic Swiss brand Favre Leuba continues to build on its modern revival with the introduction of the new Deep Raider Power Reserve, a professional dive watch that combines robust underwater capability with a more technical and functional dial layout.

Following the relaunch of the brand’s core collections in 2024 — including the Deep Raider, Sea Sky and Chief lines — the latest addition brings extra complications and a more instrument-focused display to the Deep Raider family while retaining the same sporty character and professional specifications.

A Professional Dive Watch With Everyday Versatility

The new Favre Leuba Deep Raider Power Reserve keeps the familiar stainless steel case architecture of the standard Deep Raider models, measuring 40 mm in diameter and offering 300 meters of water resistance. The proportions aim to strike a balance between modern dive watch presence and daily wear comfort.

The watch is equipped with a unidirectional rotating bezel featuring a ceramic insert and dive timing scale.

Redesigned Dial With Additional Complications

The biggest evolution comes on the dial side. While the original Deep Raider focused on a cleaner time-and-date layout, the Power Reserve version introduces several new indications that give the watch a more technical appearance.

At 6 o’clock sits a dedicated power reserve indicator, allowing the wearer to monitor the remaining autonomy of the movement. A small seconds display is positioned at 9 o’clock, and a large date display at 3 o’clock.

Despite the increased amount of information, the dial maintains a structured and legible layout. Applied baton hour markers with luminous coating remain present across the full dial.

Five Dial Variants

Favre Leuba is launching the Deep Raider Power Reserve in five distinct color configurations. The collection includes classic black, blue and green versions featuring matching bezels and dials for a cohesive monochromatic appearance. Alongside these, the brand also introduces a white panda-style edition that combines a white dial with contrasting black subdials and bezel, giving the watch a more distinctive and sportier personality.

Completing the lineup is an ice blue version that pairs a light blue dial with a darker blue bezel insert, adding a more contemporary look to the collection while maintaining the model’s professional dive watch character.

Powered By The FL P01 Automatic Calibre

Inside the Deep Raider Power Reserve is the FL P01 automatic movement, based on the reliable Sellita SW279-1 architecture. The calibre operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and delivers approximately 41 hours of power reserve.

The movement is hidden behind a closed stainless steel caseback decorated with Favre Leuba’s engraved emblem and wave motif.

Price And Availability

The new Favre Leuba Deep Raider Power Reserve is priced at CHF 2,500, positioning it competitively within the premium dive watch segment.

With its combination of professional diving specifications, practical complications and versatile styling, the latest Deep Raider expands the collection with a more technical alternative aimed at enthusiasts looking for functionality beyond a standard three-hand diver.

Unimatic Introduces The Modello Quattro Ultratool In Lightweight Titanium

MRSTATELESS NEW RELEASES, UNIMATIC 2026, Diver, GMT, Limited Edition, Titanium 0

Italian watchmaker Unimatic continues to expand its utilitarian-inspired lineup with the new Modello Quattro Ultratool, a limited-edition release focused on durability, lightweight construction, and everyday practicality. Offered in both time-only and GMT configurations, the new references maintain the brand’s unmistakable minimalist aesthetic while introducing a titanium case construction and enhanced shock protection system.

Titanium Construction for Improved Wearability

The new Modello Quattro Ultratool retains the familiar silhouette of the standard Modello Quattro, featuring the angular case profile, oversized screw-down crown, and clean military-inspired dial layout that have become signatures of the Milan-based brand.

What sets the Ultratool apart is its Grade 2 titanium case, measuring 40 mm in diameter and 12 mm thick. Thanks to the use of titanium, the watch weighs just 65 grams, representing a noticeable reduction compared to its stainless steel counterparts. The lighter construction aims to improve comfort during extended wear without compromising robustness.

Both versions feature a wide fixed bezel design and maintain the understated industrial styling that defines Unimatic’s Toolwatch collection.

Designed for Maximum Durability

The Ultratool has been engineered with resistance and reliability in mind. Inside the case, Unimatic integrates its proprietary 360° protection system, which uses a thermoplastic polyurethane shock-absorbing shell positioned between the movement and the case structure. This system is designed to help protect the movement from impacts and vibrations encountered during daily use.

Instead of mechanical calibers, Unimatic opted for quartz movements to prioritize toughness and low maintenance. The time-only model is powered by a Seiko quartz movement, while the GMT version uses a Ronda caliber.

The dial emphasizes legibility with large numerical markers rendered in the brand’s Custom Variable Font, specifically developed to optimize readability in different lighting conditions. Green-emission Super-LumiNova coating on the hands and hour markers enhances visibility in low-light environments.

GMT Version with Disc Display

While the standard Ultratool keeps a straightforward time-only display, the GMT variant introduces a more unconventional approach to dual-time functionality.

Rather than using a traditional GMT hand, the watch features a rotating 24-hour disc displayed through an aperture positioned below 12 o’clock. An orange triangular indicator points to the second time zone, adding a distinctive technical touch to the otherwise minimalist dial.

The GMT reference also includes a frameless date display at 6 o’clock with a matching color date disc for a cleaner overall appearance.

Strap and Limited Availability

Both models are paired with a black nylon two-piece strap secured by a pin buckle. A subtle orange inner layer exposed along the strap edges adds a contrasting accent and visually connects with the orange GMT indicator found on the dual-time version.

Maen Strengthens The Hudson Collection With The New 38 GMT MKII

MRSTATELESS MAEN, NEW RELEASES 2026, Diver, GMT 0

Swedish watchmaker Maen continues to expand its catalog with the introduction of the Hudson 38 GMT MKII, a compact sports watch that combines dive-watch capability with practical GMT functionality. Building on the success of previous Hudson models, the latest iteration refines the formula with updated details, improved finishing, and a more versatile bracelet system.

The new release stays true to the brand’s Scandinavian design language while delivering specifications that place it among the most compelling GMT watches in its segment.

Compact Stainless Steel Case With Vintage Character

The Hudson 38 GMT MKII comes housed in a stainless steel case measuring 38 mm in diameter, 13.10 mm in thickness including the crystal, and 47 mm lug-to-lug. Its proportions are aimed at providing a comfortable fit across a wide range of wrist sizes while maintaining the sporty presence expected from a modern tool watch.

One of the defining visual elements is the prominent box-domed sapphire crystal, which adds a vintage-inspired aesthetic reminiscent of classic dive watches. Despite the elevated crystal profile, the slimmer mid-case and refined bezel construction help the watch maintain balanced proportions on the wrist.

The exterior finishing combines brushed and polished surfaces, while drilled lug holes reinforce the practical tool-watch character and make strap changes easier.

300m Water Resistance And GMT Functionality

Beyond its travel-oriented GMT complication, the Hudson 38 GMT MKII also delivers serious dive-watch credentials with 300 meters of water resistance. The watch features a screw-down crown and solid screw-down caseback to ensure durability and reliability.

The bidirectional 60-click bezel features a 24-hour scale with gilt markings and a luminous triangle marker at 12 o’clock. Maen now adds a lume pip to the bezel, one of the most requested updates from earlier Hudson GMT generations.

Buyers can choose between two bezel configurations. One pairs brown and black tones for a warmer vintage-inspired appearance, while the second combines blue and black hues for a more understated and contemporary look. The rotating bezel can also be used together with the dial’s internal 24-hour scale to track a third timezone.

Textured Dial With Strong Legibility

The watch features a textured black dial paired with printed hour markers filled with beige Super-LumiNova X1 for enhanced nighttime visibility. The layout remains symmetrical thanks to the framed date window positioned at 6 o’clock and the double marker at 12.

Large baton-style hour and minute hands maximize readability, while the central seconds hand includes a luminous tip. The GMT hand is distinguished by an arrow-shaped tip finished in either blue or brown, matching the bezel configuration selected.

A discreet 24-hour scale integrated into the flange allows the wearer to monitor an additional timezone when used alongside the rotating bezel.

Powered By The Sellita SW330-2

Inside the Hudson 38 GMT MKII is the Sellita SW330-2 automatic movement in Elaboré grade. The caller-style GMT calibre operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and delivers approximately 56 hours of power reserve.

The movement allows independent adjustment of the GMT hand, making it practical for tracking a second timezone during travel or daily use.

Updated Bracelet With On-The-Fly Adjustment

Maen also upgrades the bracelet system on the new Hudson GMT. The five-link bracelet combines brushed and polished finishing for a more refined appearance while maintaining flexibility and comfort on the wrist.

Practicality is further improved through quick-release spring bars and an on-the-fly micro-adjustment clasp system, a feature still relatively uncommon in this price category.

In addition to the five-link bracelet, the watch will also be available with a Jubilee-style bracelet and FKM rubber strap, offering different styling and wearing options depending on the user’s preference.

Price And Availability

The new Maen Hudson 38 GMT MKII will be available for pre-order starting May 20. The launch price is set at € 1,249, with an increase of € 100 scheduled after May 24. Deliveries are expected to begin in December.
