The Wind Up – Watch News #334
Welcome to the next edition of your watch news go-to, The Wind Up, our weekly series highlighting the newest watches of the past seven days, and what a week it has been! Alongside a suite of stunning new high-complication models from the world's biggest and brightest watchmakers, there were a few surprise announcements that landed this week. In this latest instalment, we've got a handful of new and exciting watches, including pieces from OMEGA, Bell & Ross and Ulysse Nardin. Enjoy the read, fellas, and have a fantastic week ahead. Ulysse Nardin Blast Free Wheel Maillechort | Image: Ulysse Nardin Ulysse Nardin Blast Free Wheel Maillechort Brand: Ulysse Nardin Ulysse Nardin Model: Blast Free Wheel Maillechort Blast Free Wheel Maillechort Reference: 1760-401LE-4A-MAIL/3A 1760-401LE-4A-MAIL/3A Diameter: 45mm 45mm Thickness: 12.40mm 12.40mm Material : White gold : White gold Movement: Calibre UN-176 Calibre UN-176 Power Reserve: 7 days 7 days Price: USD126,600 (Limited to 50 pieces) Ulysse Nardin is no stranger to something out of the box and the new Blast Free Wheel Maillechort doesn't disappoint. The 45mm white gold model, which continues the same familiar design language we first saw on the 2018 Executive Tourbillon Skeleton Free Wheel, features a suite of sharp edges offset by a fusion of satin and polished finishes. This time around, Ulysse Nardin has opted for a vintage-style glass box design that provides unimpeded views of the stunning skeletonised dial. The exposed mechanics and inner-workings of the timepiece are undoubtedly its best features, so it makes perfect sense that UN put these front and centre. Moreover, the open sapphire caseback gives you a further glimpse at the Maillechort (or German Silver) plate that anchors the dial side. The Free Wheel encompasses all that we know and love from one of Ulysse Nardin's most theatrical timepieces; a constant force mechanism within a tourbillon, exposed and elevated parts, a synoptic of drama. With the Ulysse Nardin Blast Free Wheel Maillechort, you have all this and more with a beautiful traditional grained plate in German silver. The result is something that is as aesthetically pleasing as it is mechanically spectacular. OMEGA Seamaster Diver 300M | Image: OMEGA OMEGA Seamaster Diver 300M Brand: OMEGA OMEGA Model: Seamaster Diver 300M Seamaster Diver 300M Reference: 21030422001018 21030422001018 Diameter: 42mm 42mm Thickness: 13.80mm 13.80mm Material : Stainless steel : Stainless steel Movement: Calibre 8806 Calibre 8806 Power Reserve: 55 hours 55 hours Price: AUD$10,950 OMEGA's no-date Seamaster Diver 300M has been primed and prepped for a long summer of fun with a new reference. Sporting a yellow seconds hand, orange three-quarter hour markers and a matching rubber strap, the Seamaster Diver 300M is a whole bag of fun, but make no mistake, this is not simply a rehash of an old favourite. For the new no-date model, OMEGA has boldly returned to an aluminium bezel and dial design., contrasting the styles of previous years. For the majority of last year, OMEGA toyed with new design iterations and combinations, releasing Seamaster models in steel with black or silver dials, titanium and bronze-gold with green dial and then, much to the delight of fans, a full bronze-gold option with a burgundy bezel. For this bold and vibrant new Seamaster, a return to the classic aluminium dial and bezel format feels like some sort of homecoming, and it doesn't stop there. This release also features the classic 42mm case size, lyre-shaped lugs and the conical helium escape valve at 10 o'clock. I personally feel that the aesthetic of the no-date Seamaster Diver 300M, like the no-date Submariner, is well befitting of a piece of this nature. And now with dashes of orange, the Seamaster Diver 300M is like a whole new watch. Love it. Franck Muller #FR2NCK MULLER Vanguard Beach | Image: Franck Muller Franck Muller #FR2NCK MULLER Vanguard Beach Brand: Franck Muller Franck Muller Model: #FR2NCK MULLER Vanguard Beach #FR2NCK MULLER Vanguard Beach Reference: V 41 SC DT BEACH FR2 V 41 SC DT BEACH FR2 Diameter: 41mm 41mm Thickness: 12.20mm 12.20mm Material : Glass fibre composite : Glass fibre composite Movement: Calibre 2536-SCDT2H Calibre 2536-SCDT2H Power Reserve: 42 hours 42 hours Price: USD14,700 (Limited to 300 pieces in each colour) There are a lot of question marks surrounding the maison of Franck Muller, but something that absolutely cannot be overstated is the watchmaker's disposition and propensity to push the boundaries of conventional watchmaking. The brand's latest piece, the #FR2NCK MULLER Vanguard Beach, comes in three distinct colour ways in a glass fibre composite case and feature a relief of titular rabbits. Building on a 2023 collaboration that saw the launch of a limited-edition #FR2NCK MULLER Vanguard timepiece, Franck Muller and #FR2's triumphant return is designed to celebrate the spirit of summer. As our own Rob Edwards noted in his first look, are certainly playful in nature, but there is serious watchcraft on display. The iconic tonneau-shaped Vanguard case has been rendered in a composite of glass and fibre that combines lightness of weight with robust construction. Meanwhile, the repositioning of the date window from the 6 o'clock position to 2 o'clock makes for an interesting visual dynamic, where it forms a sun shining down on the rabbits at the centre of the scene. This fun take on the watchmaking arts is further emphasised by the way each scene springs to life after dark, thanks to the watches' liberal use of Super-Luminova across their dials and skeletonised obelisk hands. Plus, the watches' graphic nylon straps, printed with bold streetwear-inspired elements, act as the final flourish, while the leather backing ensures maximum comfort for the wearer throughout the day. Fun and not-so-serious, but rather pricey; all things considered. Bell & Ross BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic | Image: Bell & Ross BR-05 Bell & Ross BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic Brand: Bell & Ross Bell & Ross Model: BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic Reference: BR05A-PH-SK-CE/SCE BR05A-PH-SK-CE/SCE Diameter: 41mm 41mm Thickness: 11.20mm 11.20mm Material : Ceramic : Ceramic Movement: Calibre BR-CAL.322-1 Calibre BR-CAL.322-1 Power Reserve: 54 hours 54 hours Price: AUD$15,700 (Limited to 500 pieces) Rounding out this edition of The Wind Up is the latest BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic from Bell & Ross. Sporting a black ceramic case with matching bracelet (also available on a black textured rubber strap), the BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic is a serious bit of kit from the unique maison. Bearing all the hallmarks of the regular production BR-05 Skeleton Ceramic, this model measures in at 41mm in diameter and boasts a thickness of 11.2mm. Of course, the timepiece is also water-resistant to 100 metres, courtesy of a robust screw-down crown with lateral guards and a flat sapphire crystal; again a nod to the steel edition. Its dark aesthetic, monochromatic look and phantom-like features make for a spectacularly stealthy package. I would be remiss to say that the price is a bit out of touch, but let's remember that this is a full ceramic case and bracelet. Cool but expensive.

The Omega Seamaster 300M gets a bright and bold new colour
Omega's iconic Seamaster Diver 300M has just landed in its boldest look yet (even bolder than the Bronze Gold and Burgundy model), and I'm a big fan. This new orange-accented version strikes a rare balance: it's vibrant without being shouty, and adds a tasteful pop of colour to a tried-and-tested classic (one of the best watches ever). Orange isn't new to Omega's dive watch playbook – the brand's been using it for over two decades to enhance visibility underwater. But this is the first time it's appeared in the main Diver 300M collection, now offered in two stainless steel variants: one with a brushed mesh bracelet, the other on a matching orange rubber strap. The watch itself remains 42mm across and sticks closely to the recent Seamaster refresh. That means a domed sapphire crystal, oxalic anodised aluminium bezel, and your choice of straps with a foldover clasp. But it's the dial where the new look really shines. The black aluminium dial features rhodium-plated skeleton hands and indexes filled with white Super-LumiNova – glowing blue in low light. The orange detailing is cleverly applied: you'll spot it on the seconds hand, the quarter-hour markers, and the 'Seamaster' script. It's just enough to give the watch a pop of fun without undermining its tool-watch roots. Of course, it's still a proper diver – with a scalloped bezel, helium escape valve at 10 o'clock, crown guards, and a full diving scale in lume. Powering the watch is Omega's Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, METAS-certified and visible through the sapphire caseback. In short, this is a familiar watch with a fresh, new energy. If you ask me, it's the most fun a Seamaster 300M has looked in years – and it still means business underwater. The new Orange Omega Seamaster 300M is available for US$6500 / £5,800 on the rubber strap, and US$6800 / £6100 on the mesh bracelet. Liked this?

Swan dive
Coasting on the popularity of the Seamaster Diver 300M, OMEGA's contemporised version of the legendary model does a delightful take on the original launched in 1993. The current collection generously embraces the Seamaster's famous ocean heritage and updates it with the brand's most advanced innovation and design. The 42 mm model is crafted in OMEGA's exclusive Bronze Gold and includes a burgundy oxalic anodised aluminium bezel ring with a diving scale in vintage Super-LumiNova. The dial uses sandblasted black aluminium, which features PVD 18 carat Bronze Gold hands and blackened indexes, all filled with vintage Super-LumiNova. The other markings, including the OMEGA logo, have been transferred in light brown. The watch is presented on a brushed mesh bracelet with clasp, and is driven by the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, which can be seen through the sapphire-crystal caseback. Striking in style, yet subtle in its statement, this is yesterday once more—only a lot more!

OMEGA Seamaster Diver 300M now in Bronze Gold and Burgundy
The Seamaster Diver 300M remains one of OMEGA's most celebrated and iconic timepiece collections. Now, in 2025, the brand has unveiled a new series of models in bronze gold, combining adventurous spirit and superior precision with an exclusive material design. As with the most recent models in the collection, these special Bronze Gold editions are inspired by the Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition, which was launched in 2020 for the James Bond film, No Time to Die. Similar features include the mesh bracelet, the oxalic anodised aluminium bezel ring and dial, and the domed sapphire crystal. Bronze Gold is OMEGA's one-of-a-kind alloy, enriched with noble elements such as 37.5% gold, hallmarked as 9K, as well as palladium and silver. The material offers incomparable corrosion resistance without verdigris-oxidation, therefore aging slowly and retaining its natural and beautiful patina over a longer period of time. Two models are presented for this launch, both with a 42 mm case crafted in Bronze Gold, and each mounted with an oxalic anodised aluminium bezel ring in burgundy. This rich contrasting shade beautifully stands out on the wrist and reveals a diving scale in vintage Super-LumiNova. The matte black tone of the sandblasted aluminium dial is enhanced by PVD 18K Bronze Gold hands and blackened indexes, all filled with vintage Super-LumiNova, whereas the other markings, including the OMEGA logo and name, are transferred in light brown. The difference in the models appears around the wrist, where customers can choose between a version on a brushed Bronze Gold mesh bracelet on a foldover clasp, or alternatively on an integrated black rubber strap with a Bronze Gold buckle. Inside, each watch is driven by the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, visible through the caseback's sapphire crystal. Excellence in precision, performance and magnetic resistance is guaranteed by the Master Chronometer certification, with tests certified by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS).
