Geneva Watch Days has returned for 2026 with 71 participating brands and five days dedicated to new launches, independent watchmaking and some of the industry’s most anticipated creations. As maisons gather in Geneva to reveal what’s next, this year’s novelties span technical innovation, unexpected materials, and distinctive approaches to design. Here, we highlight some of the watches unveiled so far.
BVLGARI Octo Finissimo Dual Time × Vianney Halter
For the first time, Bvlgari collaborates with independent watchmaker Vianney Halter on the Octo Finissimo, combining its geometric architecture with his retro-futuristic aesthetic. The watch is powered by the BVF 200 manufacture calibre, integrating GMT, date and day/night functions. It will be produced in two limited editions, with 30 pieces in titanium and 15 in pink gold, making the collaboration one of the most exclusive new releases from the Maison at Geneva Watch Days.
BVLGARI Octo Finissimo Dazzle
The Octo Finissimo Dazzle transforms titanium through a laser-engraved geometric motif inspired by automotive camouflage. Extending across the case, dial and integrated bracelet, the pattern creates an optical illusion that appears to disrupt the watch’s familiar silhouette. The result gives the Octo Finissimo’s precise architecture a more graphic, experimental character, showing a different side to titanium beyond its technical qualities. The watch will be produced in a limited edition of just 80 pieces.
BVLGARI Bvlgari Titanio GMT
The new Bvlgari Titanio GMT brings grade 5 titanium to the Bvlgari Aluminium family, combining the collection’s recognisable sport-chic design with the material’s strength and lightness. Housed in a 40mm case, the watch features a GMT function for tracking multiple time zones and offers a 50-hour power reserve. The shift to titanium gives the familiar silhouette a more technical feel while maintaining the original collection’s contemporary character.
BVLGARI Bvlgari Titanio Chronograph
Completing the titanium releases is the Bvlgari Titanio Chronograph, another new interpretation of the Bvlgari Aluminium collection. Crafted in grade 5 titanium, the watch features a 41mm case and a 42-hour power reserve. Its lightweight construction and chronograph functionality give the piece a more performance-focused character, while the design retains the collection’s graphic identity. Together with the GMT, it expands Bvlgari’s exploration of titanium into a more everyday sporting context.
BREITLING Navitimer B09 Chronograph 41 Tribute to Miles Davis
Breitling celebrates the centenary of Miles Davis’ birth with the Navitimer B09 Chronograph 41 Tribute to Miles Davis, limited to 500 pieces. Inspired by the Navitimer ref. 806 Mk5 worn by the jazz legend, the 41mm watch features a reverse-panda dial, cream-coloured Super-LumiNova and the period-correct Twin Jet logo. Inside is the hand-wound Breitling Manufacture Calibre B09, visible through the sapphire caseback. Offered with either a gradient brown calf-leather strap or revived Air Racer bracelet, it reinterprets Davis’ distinctive watch for today.
ZENITH Chronomaster Solo Sport
Zenith takes the Chronomaster in a new direction with the Chronomaster Solo Sport, removing the chronograph function to create a streamlined three-hand sports watch with a distinctly 1950s feel. Housed in a 40mm steel case, it is powered by the high-frequency 5Hz calibre 3620 and features a ceramic dive bezel. The ceramic dial is patterned with a repeating 45-degree Z motif, complemented by a shark-tooth minute track drawn from Zenith’s archives. Offered in black, white and brown, the watch comes fitted with the new Zenclasp bracelet.
CZAPEK & CIE Quai des Bergues “Midnight in Geneva”
Czapek & Cie revisits one of its defining modern creations with the Quai des Bergues “Midnight in Geneva”, now presented in a new 40.5mm stainless-steel case. The watch features a deep blue aventurine dial, with recessed small-seconds and power-reserve displays carefully integrated into the fragile material. It is powered by the hand-wound Calibre SXH1, offering a seven-day power reserve. Limited to just 18 pieces, the edition references the address of Czapek’s first modern Geneva boutique and marks the opening of its new Quai des Bergues flagship.
