The Best New Watch Releases for March 2026

Despite the looming presence of Watches and Wonders on the horizon, March 2026 was still jam-packed with new watch releases. Many are new dial colours or designs as I’m sure brands are saving the good stuff for next month. Although having said that there are two brand new and interesting watches with new movements further down the list so make sure to keep reading. This month’s releases haven’t really given anything away when it comes to Watches and Wonders so that makes me even more excited to see what launches next month. If you want to keep up to date with your favourite brands’ new launches, then make sure to keep coming back to the magazine and YouTube channel.

Here are my top picks for the best new watch releases for March 2026.

Known for their wide array of colourful and beautiful stone dials, the ALD line has brought an historic brand back into the watch industry. Now, for the first time since the ALD was introduced, we have indices and numerals! It can often be a challenge to take a well-loved design, especially one as minimalist as the ALD, and make additions that elevate it rather than detract from what made the original so brilliant. I think the design team at Dennison have done a brilliant job with these dials. The colours are wonderful and bring a new feel to this watch. Powered by two Ronda Quartz swiss movements, these watches are not just pretty on the surface, they’re reliable too.

Price - CHF 600 (on leather) / CHF 660 (on beads of rice)

People should talk about Krayon more. I have been; I included them in last month’s best new watch releases as well. For anyone that isn’t aware of the brand, they have some of the most mind boggling but actually real-world practical complications combined with precious materials, fine watchmaking, and elegant designs. Truly a brand that deserves more representation than it currently gets. And they now have a fun side too? Limited to 15 pieces, this watch utilises Krayon’s brilliant sunset and sunrise complication to animate PAC-MAN and the ghosts.

Price - POA (For reference, a standard Anywhere is around £150,000!)

In the summer of last year, I spent a week with the 36 and 38mm NOMOS Club Campus models. I quickly developed a deep appreciation for not only these watches, but for NOMOS as a brand. What they have been able to achieve as a relatively young brand surrounded by brands steeped in history has been remarkable and the watches themselves live up to the reputation. Their design is what sets them apart while their brilliant watchmaking capabilities tick quietly and confidently in the background. Now available in two new stunning colours, the Club Campus line continues to be a strong model line for anyone looking for that ‘do it all’ watch. If you’re asking me, I’m taking the 38mm olive green with the exhibition case back.

Price - £1,640 36mm/£1,560 38mm

Keeping the pink theme, a new dial colour for the Tonda PF. The Tonda is an elegant watch by design, but this pop of colour adds a fun twist. In the 36mm configuration the proportions of this watch are arguably perfect. This is a watch for those that have seen all of the fun colours available for the Oyster Perpetual and are now after something of a much higher calibre. High horology mixed with colour and great design makes for a compelling proposition. The only barrier is of course, the price.

Price – CHF 21,400

While this watch design is slightly unusual to most people and has remained constant since Toledano & Chan’s founding, I have grown to really appreciate how unique and awesome these watches are. People seem to agree with me as these sell out very quickly when they are launched and will then command premiums on the pre-owned market. You can’t get much better praise than that for a young watch brand. With a full grade 5 titanium case and bracelet construction, this watch also features a full 18k gold dial with a stunning ripple effect.

Price – USD 10,200

Christopher Ward have been on a releasing spree for a long time now and they don’t seem to be letting up. I don’t know how the team there keep putting out great new watches, limited editions, collabs, and so on. It doesn’t stop at just new models featuring Sellita’s latest offering for power, yes CW have now created three distinct and unique in-house designed movements. The latest CW-002 powering this new watch is a true GMT meaning that the local hour hand can be adjusted independently of the 24-hour GMT hand. This is significant as you would be hard-pressed to find a true GMT watch for the same money that CW are asking here. Although the movement is impressive, the dial is too busy and I don’t know why they decided to skeletonise part of it. I believe a cleaner dial layout would see this watch become a threat to the likes of Tudor and TAG Heuer GMTs!

Price - £2,995 on Bader bracelet

This wouldn’t be one of my lists without a bit of 'Haute Horology'. This is the first watch to sport Domonique Reynaud’s full name as he has often collaborated with other watchmakers. Anyone that knows about watch movements will be able to tell you that many have beat rates of between 3-5hz. This beat rate speed improves accuracy especially when encountering movement or shock and is also what makes a mechanical watch sweep rather than tick. The Pulse 60 takes a somewhat different approach. Reynaud has managed to produce a movement that beats at 1hz or 60bpm which is about the same as a human heartbeat. Although my heart rate is currently reading 75bpm after walking up the stairs, there’s romance in giving something mechanical a hint of humanity. This was achieved through the enormous balance wheel with a huge amplitude which can be seen through the dial. It’s watchmaking pushing boundaries with a touch of human soul and I think it’s brilliant.

Price – CHF 49,000 (Titanium) / CHF 59,000 (Gold and Titanium)
