If you’re into watches that stand out and do more than just tell the time, you’re going to love these new releases.
From bold designs to clever features, these picks are fresh, fun, and definitely worth checking out.
Tudor Pelagos FXD “Yellow”
Tudor is making a bold statement in the world of competitive cycling with the release of the Pelagos FXD Chrono Yellow. Launched to commemorate the Tudor Pro Cycling Team’s debut at the Tour de France and the return of cycling legend Fabian Cancellara, this new limited edition brings performance and style together in a striking yellow-accented package.
The bright details pay homage to the iconic Maillot Jaune worn by the race leader, giving the watch both symbolic and technical flair.
The timepiece features a 43 millimeter carbon composite case, fitted with fixed lugs and a tachymeter bezel tailored specifically for measuring a cyclist’s speed. On the dial, you’ll find a 45-minute chronograph counter, a 60-second subdial, and a date window positioned at six o’clock.
True to Tudor’s signature design, the watch includes the snowflake hour hand and luminous markers, making it easy to read even during the most intense rides.
Under the hood is the COSC-certified MT5813 movement, offering approximately 70 hours of power reserve and automatic winding. The single-piece fabric strap, highlighted with a yellow stripe, completes the look with a nod to pro-level racing gear.
This is the second cycling-themed special edition Tudor has released this year, following the Giro d’Italia model in pink, signalling the brand’s growing commitment to the sport.
The Pelagos FXD Chrono Yellow is priced at US$5,600 (~RM26,400) and is available now in an exclusive limited edition of only 300 pieces worldwide at selected Tudor retailers.
Amida Digitrend
The revival of Amida’s 1970s-inspired Digitrend was already a standout in the world of retro-futuristic design. Now, the brand returns with something even more captivating – the Digitrend Open Sapphire.
Featuring a domed sapphire top that reveals the mechanics behind its signature jumping hour and wandering minute display, this limited-edition release puts the spotlight on both style and substance. Think of it as a targa-top evolution of the sleek “fastback” Digitrend we saw last year.
Cased in stainless steel and topped with shaped sapphire crystal, the Digitrend Open Sapphire gives wearers a clear view of how its timekeeping magic works.
The numbers may appear reversed at first glance, but they flip into place via a clever prismatic display that reflects the time vertically, making it perfectly legible from a driver’s angle. With its 39.6mm by 39mm case and 16mm thickness, it wears surprisingly well on the wrist despite the visual drama.
Inside, the Soprod NEWTON P092 movement keeps things ticking with a 44-hour power reserve and thoughtful finishing that includes Geneva stripes and a skeletonised oscillating weight.
The watch comes on a charcoal Alcantara strap with a vibrant orange lining and is paired with a stainless steel buckle. For those who prefer something sportier, a metal bracelet option is also available.
The Amida Digitrend Open Sapphire is priced at CHF 4,500 (~RM24,000) and is available now in a limited run of only 150 pieces worldwide at selected retailers.
