Resplendent with a splash of orange, this new titanium 43.5mm piece's 8900 movement affords it magnetic resistance up to 15,000 gauss and has a 60-hour power reserve. A partially rubberised bezel, with grey silicon nitride rubber blended with ceramic, joins with Liquidmetal for the orange minute-scale. In a first for the watch industry, the rubber lining is vulcanised at two different temperatures to lock zinc into the material. £4,330
The Overseas World Time includes no fewer than 37 time zones. Its display features a "Lambert" projection map depicting continents and oceans, along with a translucent disc bearing city names. The Caliber 2460WT movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and boasts a 40-hour power reserve. WIRED loves the flexibility of the easy-fit bracelet system, which means straps can be switched without fuss. £28,000
The 41mm Royal Oak has a new double-balance wheel escapement - which is a watch-world first. Having two balance wheels creates an oscillator with a greater mass, meaning greater precision and stability, and due to their placement on the same axis they self-regulate. The 45-hour power reserve is sufficient and the timepiece is available in stainless steel and rose gold. Each of the strap's tapered links are arranged in decreasing order of size. £32,200
With 100-metre water resistance, a bidirectional bezel and dial and hands that echo the Submariner, the uncluttered Yacht-Master is an elegant piece. Its middle case is crafted from a solid block of corrosion-resistant 904L steel and the patented Rolex Everose gold is offset by a rubber-like "high performance elastomer" strap called the Oysterflex bracelet. Within the material is a flexible titanium and nickel alloy metal blade which makes the Oysterflex more durable than other rubber straps. £16,650
This 45mm grade 5 titanium skeleton watch is equipped with a 56-jewel automatic 30-minute chronograph movement and large rocker push-buttons designed to work when wearing a space suit. As befits a timepiece made for space travel, it's resistant to corrosion, impact, acceleration, high pressure, vibrations and water (to 100m). Bell & Ross has opted for a bi-material strap of alligator leather and grey rubber for durability and comfort. Limited to 250 pieces. £14,000
