Omega, a formidable player in the horology market, has once again stirred interest with the launch of its new collection. The latest addition, the 2026 Omega Constellation Observatory, is not a completely new design but rather an innovative and inspired reinvention of the Constellation watch series. This new collection draws inspiration from the aesthetics of historical models, while infusing noteworthy innovation. The primary highlight of this release is that the Constellation Observatory is the first two-hand watch to have received a Master Chronometer certification, thus securing a significant spot in the history of Omega watches.
Longines, a brand recognised for its continued mastery in the horological world, reaffirms its status with the unveiling of the fully reimagined Hydroconquest series. Following a robust history of respected vintage designs and fan-favourites, Longines showcases how past accomplishments are merely stepping stones for future innovation with the new Hydroconquest models.
Originally launched in 2007, the Hydroconquest series has received an extensive makeover for the modern era. The new-generation Hydroconquest range features a blend of notable modern diver detailing, material enhancements, and sizing options. This transformation positions the Hydroconquest series as a potentially dominant contender in its price segment.
Characterised by a bolder, more refined design than its predecessors, the Hydroconquest’s stainless steel case is available in either 39mm or 42mm diameters. The watch design reflects athletic and angular aesthetics, with a sharper overall shape and clean, restrained lines.
