This month's new releases include a slim King Seiko, a fashionable Audemars Piguet, and an IWC with a glowing face
Audemars Piguet worked with designer Matthew Williams of 1017 ALYX 9SM on four new Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore references that echo his signature minimalist style. These watches have been stripped down to the bare essentials but are sumptuous in 18k gold. Apart from the hands, the gold dial is only adorned with an engraving of Williams' 1017 ALYX 9SM signature. (Williams is also the creative director of Givenchy.)

Breguet has mastered the craft of minute repeater for over 200 years; uniquely, its complication is operated by a gong spring instead of a bell. Hence, the Breguet minute repeater remains one of the most beguiling today, as exemplified by the new Classique 7637 with a black grand feu enamel dial. Encased in rose gold, it’s a classic watch that disguises an intriguing piece of invention.

The online-exclusive IWC Schaffhausen Pilot’s Watch Automatic 41 Black Aces features a white dial coated entirely in Super-Luminova that allows it to glow a greenish hue in the dark. The ace of spaces motif at 6 o'clock alludes to the Strike Fighter Squadron 41 (VFA-41), also known as the “Black Aces”. The full lume pilot's watch is inspired by a timepiece IWC previously engineered for members of the squadron, which is based at Naval Air Station Lemoore in California.

Vintage chic with a sustainable twist—it’s the best way to describe the new Panerai Radiomir Otto Giorni crafted in proprietary eSteel made from recycled steel scraps, developed in partnership with IOC-Unesco. The look is inspired by the Radiomir prototype in 1935, with the eSteel case specially hand-finished for the weathered look. The dark brown dial matches the calfskin strap with pebbled effect and beige stitching.
