Laurent Ferrier: what is confirmed for the 2026 collection?
Laurent Ferrier provides a digital catalogue for its 2026 collection and a retailer finder, but the accessible catalogue landing page does not name individual models or publish their specifications. The official 2026 collection page is the appropriate place to check the catalogue and find a retailer.
WatchTime’s brand page reports articles dated April 24, 2026, on a Sport Traveller Slate Grey described as a dual-time titanium model, and May 22, 2026, on a Classic Moon Silver described as featuring an annual calendar and moon phase. These are secondary reports rather than details established on the accessible Laurent Ferrier catalogue page. Treat the model names and descriptions as reported, and verify them in the brand’s catalogue or release materials before relying on them as official specifications. See WatchTime’s Laurent Ferrier coverage.

How to compare these releases
- Complication: The UJ-1 combines a flying tourbillon with constant-force remontoir; Radiant is a chronograph; Resurgence’s listed options center on movement choice and dial customization. The available Laurent Ferrier catalogue landing page does not provide enough model detail for a direct specifications comparison.
- Scale and wearability: Published case measurements range from 38 mm for Radiant and Resurgence to 39.5 mm for UJ-1. Their thicknesses, lug-to-lug measurements, materials, and water resistance differ, so diameter alone does not describe fit or intended use.
- Availability and cost: UJ-1 has a stated limited run; Radiant has a maker-stated delivery window; Resurgence pricing varies with case material and movement choice. Prices are published in different currencies and with different tax terms, so they are not directly comparable without accounting for those differences.
Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply.
