The Best Luxury Watches Of 2024

Wondering what the best luxury watch releases of 2024 were? Here’s a rundown of the finest options to move into 2025 with.

TUDOR Watch Black Bay 41mm M7941A1A0NU-0001

The 2024 edition of the Black Bay watch by TUDOR gave enthusiasts what they eagerly anticipated – an expansion to the popular TUDOR line with a monochromatic aesthetic and METAS-certified precision. The neo-vintage collectable comes in many variants, yet you can’t beat the black and steel 41mm model with a black unidirectional rotating bezel for superior time-tracking underwater. The watch is water resistant to 200 meters and features the much-loved dome sapphire glass, which gives the Black Bay its vintage-esque looks. TUDOR experts fit this watch with an in-house manufactured movement, certified to METAS standards and a T-Fit clasp on its three-link stainless steel bracelet, enabling you to make quick adjustments up to 8mm while on the go.

Seiko Watch Prospex Divers 1965 Modern Re Interpretation SPB143J1

If you do anything in 2025, make room in your collection for the Seiko Prospex Divers 1965 Modern Re-Interpretation watch. The model is, by far, one of the best watch releases of 2024 with features that have been upgraded for increased comfort and better legibility. The model pays homage to Seiko’s first dive watch of 1965 and is primed for purpose on dry land and underwater. Similar to the Black Bay, it features a black dial, a black unidirectional rotating bezel and a steel bracelet, but its aesthetic closely mirrors that of the Japanese brand’s earlier innovations with tapering lugs and lashings of luminous material on its dial features. Overall, the Seiko Prospex is an all-around daily beater that promises serious value for money. It has to be the watch to buy in 2025 for any beginner diver.

TAG Heuer Watch Carrera Skipper CBS2241.FN8023

The TAG Heuer Carrera Skipper was among the most exciting Watches and Wonders 2024 releases. It tips its hat to the year 1968 when Jack Heuer designed the Skipper Chronograph to mark New York Yacht Club’s ‘Intrepid’ victory over New Zealand’s Dame Pattie during the America’s Cup the year before. Its countdown timer with a 15-minute sub-dial at 3 o’clock was both unique and functional. The 2024 version of the TAG Heuer Carrera Skipper is equally as practical and incredibly eye-catching. The colours on the dial represent the Skipper of 1968, embodying Intrepid Teal, Lagoon Green and Regatta Orange hues to highlight the chronograph functions of this sporty steel 39mm model.

Bremont Watch Terra Nova 40.5 Date Green Leather TN40-DT-SS-GN-L-S

The Bremont Terra Nova 40.5 Date watch underscores some of the changes the Henley-on-Thames brand underwent last year. A rebranding, new logo, typeface and a re-shuffling around of collections were all part of these big changes in 2024. The Terra Nova was the result of a new field watch and the series even included the brand’s new tourbillon. This model, however, keeps things simple with a legible green dial, Arabic numeral hour markers and a distinctive cushion-shaped case. The models from this collection are crafted from rugged 904L stainless steel and take direct inspiration from military pocket watches of the early 20th century.

Garmin Fenix 8 47mm Sapphire Solar Carbon Grey DLC Titanium Black Pebble Grey Silicone 010-02906-11

Looking to spend your Christmas money on a new gadget? Let it be the new Garmin Fenix 8, launched in 2024 as the sports-goer’s most advanced, high-tech companion for all manner of activities, outdoor pursuits and health-tracking needs. The key changes launched with the Garmin Fenix 8 worth noting are its built-in speaker and microphone, enabling you to make commands even when you’re not in close proximity to your phone. This is a solar-charging device with a sapphire lens, giving you improved battery life, a robust fibre-reinforced polymer case with a grey DLC-coated titanium bezel for all your outdoor pursuits and even offers features like a useful built-in LED flashlight and depth gauge.

Raymond Weil Watch Millesime Small Seconds 2930-STC-65001

The sector dial is something we are seeing somewhat of a resurgence in. The revival of this style of watch is thanks to brands like Raymond Weil and its beautifully elegant Millesime Small Seconds watch. By delving into its past, innovators at Raymond Weil have come up with this vintage-inspired model with a sapphire glass box front for added period charm. The hour track is smooth while the minute track is snailed. The centre of the silver dial is adorned with a vertical brush for added layers and depth. Lastly, the small seconds, which donate more floor space to the central hands, is a neat recessed circlet, achieving one of the brand’s most tastefully executed dials. If you like the classic dress watch but want something different, the Raymond Weil Millesime Small Seconds is a great option and comes complete on a stylish grey leather strap.  

IWC Watch Ingenieur Automatic 40 Green IW328903

If you’re only planning on one new watch in 2025, make it the IWC Ingenieur. Not just for practicality, it has timeless sports watch appeal and an intriguing stamped dial, too. The Ingenieur Green model reflects the colours of the aquatic world and, thanks to its 100M water resistance, can be worn in all weathers. Its H-link bracelet crafted from stainless steel is robust and practical, securing with an IWC-engraved folding clasp. Additionally, thanks to an in-house movement, you get a staggering 120-hour power reserve and uncompromised precision all day through. It is, however, the distinctive grid-like structure on the dial that makes this Ingenieur watch so eye-catching and appealing. The small lines are offset to one another at a 90-degree angle, while the rhodium hands and hour markers deliver superior contrast.

Chopard Watch Happy Sport 30 278590-6015

Last but not least to feature on our best watches of 2024 guide here at Jura Watches is the Happy Sport from Chopard. Ideal for ladies who like their watches with a diamond or two, the brand’s iconic “Dancing Diamond” concept is captured beautifully inside 30mm stainless steel dimensions. The Roman numeral hour markers against a black dial are executed in a gold colour for an added dose of panache, plus the incorporation of the three freely-moving diamonds, encased between two pieces of sapphire, provide a great talking point with fellow watch enthusiasts. Chopard’s choice to complete this watch on a black leather strap enables the lady to wear this watch for formal occasions, as well as during a more relaxed, dressed-down weekend.
