Confirmed 2026 releases span Audemars Piguet’s major collection novelties, Nivada Grenchen’s centenary program, new Swatch collections and Swatch x OMEGA MoonSwatch models. Some releases are ongoing catalogue offerings; others had specific, now-past availability windows. Here is what the brands have announced, and what remains unconfirmed.
Audemars Piguet’s 2026 novelties
Audemars Piguet’s 2026 novelties page highlights releases across several collections rather than a single launch. The selection includes the Neo Frame Jumping Hour, new Royal Oak Offshore iterations, a Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon developed with Yoon and Verbal, new Établisseurs creations, the 150 Heritage pocket watch, two openworked perpetual calendars, and the Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph RD#5.
Standout designs and mechanics
- The Neo Frame Jumping Hour revisits features of Audemars Piguet’s pre-model 1271 from 1929, according to the brand.
- The limited-edition 150 Heritage pocket watch combines hand-engraving, grand feu enamelling and a hand-crafted platinum chain.
- The openworked selfwinding perpetual-calendar watches appear in the Royal Oak and Code 11.59 collections. Both are 41 mm models and debut Calibre 7139.
The brand’s page does not provide a uniform set of launch dates, prices or technical specifications for all these novelties, so those details should be checked against the individual model listing where available.
Nivada Grenchen’s centenary releases
Nivada Grenchen says 2026 marks 100 years of Swiss watchmaking for the brand. Its centenary schedule lays out 12 monthly chapters and says launches arrive without warning. The first eight named chapters are:

Swatch x OMEGA MoonSwatch: ongoing models and special releases
Swatch’s MoonSwatch collection page identifies three non-limited MISSION ON EARTH models: POLAR LIGHTS, LAVA and DESERT. The same collection also includes special releases with specific availability conditions, so “MoonSwatch release” does not necessarily mean a watch remains available to buy.
Special editions with past availability windows
- MISSION TO THE MOON 1969: Swatch says OMEGA 18K Moonshine Gold was used for the dial, hands, crown and pushers, with a combined stated weight of 11 grams. It was available through an approved Electronic Swatch Timepiece Application (ESTA) in July 2026.
- MISSION TO THE SUN – SOLAR ECLIPSE: Inspired by the total solar eclipse of August 12, 2026, this model was available only on that date and only in Spain, according to Swatch.
- 2025 Earthphase – Moonshine Gold releases: Swatch places these in its “limited releases no longer in orbit” section.
Those stated release windows have passed as of October 8, 2026; they should not be treated as current purchase opportunities.
Rank #4
- Collection: Neon
- Watch Size: 47mm round case with push/pull crown

Where to check availability and straps
Swatch says MoonSwatch models are sold at selected Swatch stores worldwide and lists a limit of one watch per person per day per store. Store access and stock can vary, so consult the local store locator linked from Swatch’s collection page for current market-specific information. The page also lists collection-specific textured rubber straps with a Bioceramic loop and VELCRO closure in multiple colors. It does not establish third-party strap compatibility or availability through outside marketplaces.
