, which offers 56 hours of power reserve. Similar to recent jumping hour releases, the bronze model does not feature a traditional dial or hands; instead, it opts for a closed-case design with three aperture windows.
The bronze model is priced at £4,900 on bracelet and £4,550 on leather strap, while the stainless steel model is £3,750 on bracelet and £3,500 on leather strap.
British luxury watchmaker Bremont is a relative latecomer compared to the industry's elder statesman, but it came out of the gates with an incredible backstory. In the 1990s, brothers Nick and Giles English were flying a 1930s biplane through France when engine trouble forced them to land. A farmer hid the brothers and their plane inside his barn so they could evade the local authorities. That farmer's name was Antoine Bremont.
We could write an entire article all about the English brothers and their high-flying misadventures, one of which resulted in the death of their father (and the near-death of Nick). But at some point, you may ask: What the heck does all this have to do with the new Terra Nova Jumping Hour watches? The answer is 'not much,' but we can't resist sharing a killer story when we come across one.
However, there is at least one good reason to share Bremont's backstory: to underscore the brand's evergreen pursuit of rugged adventure and technical innovation. Such a pursuit has led to various awards, iconic special editions, acclaimed military models, and some of the best modern field watches that money can buy.

With Bremont's latest release, the thrilling adventure continues, and so does the innovation. Not only are the new Terra Novas aesthetically bold, but they're the brand's first watches to employ a Jumping Hour complication (and an exclusive one at that). As a result, both models eschew traditional layouts for numeric apertures, which peer through the minimalist display and change numerals at the top of every hour. If you're looking for something bold and unique, you've certainly found it here.
Bremont has launched both limited and non-limited versions of the new Terra Nova Jumping Hour. The limited edition model draws inspiration from military 'trench watches' of the early 20th century, and joins the brand's Terra Nova Bronze series (introduced earlier this year). With cupro-aluminium bronze construction and a 38mm case size comes robust and compact wearability. The Jumping Hour movement — created exclusively with Sellita — is cleverly concealed under a 'montre à guichet' style display to render a jarring visual impression. All 100 pieces sold out at this year's Watches & Wonders.

The non-limited variant is similarly extraordinary and even a bit sleeker by design. It swaps in high-grade steel case construction, measures 40.5mm in size, and combines a sweeping seconds hand with numeric apertures on a black display. At first glance, one might think they're looking at a modern smartwatch, only to realise that the piece is making expert use of blank space. A left-to-right time display drives home the singular allure, whilst Super-LumiNova brings all the details to life under dark conditions. And so the field watch concept evolves with effortless style and legibility.
Bremont CEO Davide Cerrato commented, 'I've always loved the Jumping Hour complication. It's quite rare and something of a connoisseur's complication. It's complex to realise but simple in its appearance. It also mixes digital and analogue references, which I love, and almost mirrors my own life's journey. It's mechanical at heart but digital in its display – born analogue but having to learn and grow with digital.'

As Cerrato implies, the Jumping Hour complication does indeed carry an enduring backstory. Developed in the 19th century, it took off during the Art Deco period of the 1920s and 1930s and remains coveted by collectors to this day. Thanks to a sophisticated system of gears and springs, the hour disc 'jumps' to the next numeral whenever the minute hand completes a full revolution. For the Terra Nova Jumping Hour watches, a high-torque calibre delivers accuracy to the tune of 1/10 second.
A stunning evolution of Bremont's rugged field watch, the Terra Nova Jumping Hour and its namesake complication were developed exclusively with Sellita. The limited edition bronze version is sold out, while the non-limited version will be available starting 2 June 2025. Get on it.

OMEGA Dials Up the Seamaster Aqua Terra Turquoise with New Ceramic Bezel

The 41mm model houses the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8900 with 60 hours of power with 60 hours of power reserve, while the 38mm model features Calibre 8800 offering 55 hours. offering 55 hours. Both new OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra Turquoise models are priced at AUD$12,350 and are available now. Turquoise, it seems, is more than just a summer fling. Swiss luxury watchmaker OMEGA has doubled down on its recent pivot towards turquoise gradient dials, unveiling two stunning new references in the Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M collection. Available in either a 38mm or 41mm case size, the vibrant new editions continue OMEGA's shift away from the deep, dark waters we usually associate with the dive watch category and towards a playful new destination. Make no mistake, though, when it comes to specifications, the latest Aqua Terra Turquoise Editions are all business. OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Turquoise | Image: OMEGA OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra Turquoise Collection The latest update to the Aqua Terra collection comes just months after OMEGA unveiled the first run of turquoise gradient dial models. Released in December 2024, the models introduce a vibrant lacquered dial complete with a turquoise hue, contrasted by darker shades of blue. According to the brand, the gradient effect was designed to imitate colours that 'shift like sunlight through water'. Design-wise, that watch also featured bold, dark grey PVD-coated indices and hands, adding a sense of contrast to the vivid colour scheme. For the 2025 edition, OMEGA has kept the formula relatively unchanged, maintaining the trapezoid date window at 6 o'clock, highly legible minutes track and fumé-style turquoise gradient dial. The most significant update to the model, however, is the bezel. While the previous iterations featured a polished stainless steel construction, the latest versions increase the rugged durability of the Aqua Terra collection with a scratch-resistant black ceramic bezel. As far as we can tell, it's the very same ceramic bezel used in OMEGA's Aqua Terra Worldtimer models; however, it's the first time we've seen it on the 150M collection. OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Turquoise | Image: OMEGA Ceramic Bezel The use of ceramic is notable for three main reasons: the first being its scratch-resistant qualities. By crafting the bezel from this material, OMEGA has ensured that the bezel, which is among the most vulnerable areas of the timepiece, is protected from various nicks and bumps. The robust material is well-known for its exceptional hardness and is also impervious to ultraviolet rays produced by the sun, which cause fading in other materials. For OMEGA, the move also signals a shift away from the dressier undertone of last year's steel Aqua Terra models and further towards rugged dive watch territory. The stainless steel bezel editions released in 2024, while stunning, definitely skewed towards formal attire. The emphasis on durability for 2025 marks a welcome change of tack, seeing OMEGA once again embrace the functional ethos that ultimately underpins the Seamaster collection. Finally, ceramic is a far lighter material than stainless steel, providing enhanced ergonomics and improving overall wearability, even if the difference is marginal. New Strap Elsewhere, OMEGA has also updated the strap, switching 2024's stainless steel option for an integrated black structured rubber strap. This new addition is highlighted by contrasting turquoise stitching that OMEGA says 'creates a striking visual connection to the dial'. OMEGA 8900 Calibre in the 41mm OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Turquoise | Image: OMEGA Calibre Movements Inside, there are some slight differences between references. The 41mm model is powered by the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8900, which serves up 60 hours of power reserve, while the 38mm model features the Calibre 8800, offering 55 hours. Each movement is certified to withstand magnetic fields up to 15,000 Gauss and carries METAS certification for precision and performance. As with all modern Seamaster models, you'll also find a Co-Axial escapement for long-lasting precision, alongside a silicon balance spring for superior anti-magnetism. Pricing and Availability The latest OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra Turquoise models are non-limited and available to purchase at OMEGA boutiques and online now. Both the 38mm and 41mm references are priced at AUD$12,350 and arrive on an integrated black rubber strap, which includes turquoise stitching and a foldover clasp.

Ex-Today show host Lisa Wilkinson chases $23m for sprawling Sydney estate
Loading content... Lisa Wilkinson and her husband, Peter FitzSimons, are selling off their family home of 27 years, listing the historic property with an asking price of $23 million. The media stars bought the Cremorne estate in 1998, paying $2.95 million for the landmark home, 'Ingleneuk', after selling their property in Mosman for $1.66 million. Since raising their three children, Billi, Jake and Louis, in the five-bedroom, four-bathroom home, the couple is ready to downsize out of the property, which spans 3214 square metres and boasts panoramic views of the city skyline and Sydney Harbour. Ingleneuk, one of the largest landholdings on Sydney's North Shore, is listed with Brad Pillinger from Pillinger and Black Diamondz agent Monkia Tu. Built in 1903, the listing describes the home as "a magnificent example of superbly preserved Federation architecture". Designed by renowned architect Henry Wilshire for Sydney merchant Charles Crossman, it is on the market for only the third time in its 122-year history. Will Dangar-designed gardens surround Ingleneuk. The sprawling grounds include a flood-lit lawn tennis court, a heated in-ground swimming pool, a spa and a poolside cabana with a wet bar. The house spans two levels, with soaring high ceilings, a grand entryway, intricate leadlighting, original polished hardwood floors and classic fretwork. Under their ownership. Wilkinson and FitzSimons undertook an award-winning renovation by heritage architect Clive Lucas. The pair added two adjoining lots to the landholding, which were previously subdivided, to achieve dual street frontage. The property includes DA approval for a triple car garage designed by Mr Lucas, with interconnected studio accommodation and a new garden room. Inside, the couple share an expansive parents' retreat with a sunroom, dressing rooms, a luxury ensuite and a private balcony. The stately residence has multiple living areas, including a formal lounge and dining rooms with twin fireplaces. At the heart of the home is an elegant entertainer's kitchen with marble details and a walk-in pantry. A breakfast room attached to the kitchen features wrap-around windows and fills with natural light. One of the home's stand-out features is the wide verandah, with ornate timberwork and expansive harbour views. Other property features include a former coach house reimagined as a home theatre, gym and teenage retreat. The couple has hosted many large-scale events during their almost 30 years living at the property. Guest lists reportedly included Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, film star Hugh Jackman and British celebrity cook Nigella Lawson. The sale of the home follows a tumultuous couple of years for former Today show host Wilkinson. In February, Network Ten agreed to pay $1.15 million to Wilkinson to help cover legal costs incurred defending Bruce Lehrmann's unsuccessful defamation suit. She joined Ten in 2018 after a pay dispute at Channel Nine when she discovered her Today co-host Karl Stefanovic was earning significantly more than she was. Wilinson signed a new deal with Ten in 2021 but stepped down as host of The Project one year later after facing "relentless, targeted" media coverage on the back of a controversial Logies speech.

Can this new Chinese EV brand stand out in a crowd?
Another new Chinese brand, another one identified by letters. But there's a slight coda: this one is called IM but is being marketed as 'IM Presented by MG'. There's an MG Motor badge on the tail to reinforce it. In short, IM is MG's Lexus and perhaps they aren't yet confident enough to take away the familiar MG moniker. Still, this first attempt to move into the prestige/luxury space is surprisingly accomplished. What's more, the one-time British brand isn't the only Chinese car company with lofty ambitions, and we'll no doubt be seeing plenty more upmarket offerings from yet more new names soon.
