As July draws to a close, we take stock of a month that was full of exciting new releases in the luxury watch industry, rare releases and in-depth analyses of classic icons. At Watches24, we persisted in our goal of providing collectors and watch enthusiasts with rich, educational content. Here is a retrospective of the stories that shaped this month.
We started the month with a comprehensive guide to the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, one of the most renowned watch designs in history. We examined what makes the Royal Oak a masterpiece of contemporary luxury and why it still tops collector wishlists, starting with Gerald Genta’s innovative design and ending with its revolutionary stainless steel debut in 1972.
Omega redesigned the Speedmaster for a new generation in honour of Wally Schirra’s Mercury mission. This one is a vintage-inspired must-have, as our in-depth article on the Speedmaster FOIS revealed the 39.7mm case, straight lugs, Alpha hands, and manual-wind Calibre 1861 that honour the 1962 original.
We turned our focus to racing history with the TAG Heuer Formula 1, examining its quartz-powered debut in the 1980s and development into an approachable, motorsport-inspired speed symbol. This article explained how the Formula 1 line became a gateway to Swiss watchmaking for both Formula One fans and younger enthusiasts.
We looked more broadly at the Speedmaster’s complete influence on watch history, taking into account its decades of excellence and lunar landings. This legacy article examined the ongoing impact of Omega’s flagship chronograph, from the Moonwatch to its contemporary iterations, and why it continues to be the standard tool watch.
In our spotlight on the Breguet Classique Souscription 2025, innovation and history collided. This new edition, which was inspired by Abraham-Louis Breguet’s subscription watches from the 1790s, demonstrates once more the timeless nature of true elegance by combining symmetrical purity with exquisite mechanics.
Panerai unveiled new limited editions influenced by the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli team ahead of the most anticipated race in the sailing world. Lightweight CarbotechTM cases, regatta countdown features, and champion-worthy nautical design cues were all highlighted in our coverage of the Luna Rossa Luminor releases.
