As we bid farewell to 2023, we thought it was only right to take a look back at the watches that the past 12 months have given us. After yet another incredible year of watch-making innovation from the biggest brands on the market, we are excited to share this round-up with our readers.
So, whether you are a fan of Breitling and want to snap up the latest of their timepieces or you are looking for a new OMEGA to add to your collection, Banks Lyon is here to make things simple. Having been in the industry for almost 120 years, we have come a long way and recognise when a watch will become a part of history. With this in mind, here we share what 2023 brought to the table, highlighting the pieces we are certain will be making an impact for years to come.
Bremont Supermarine S302 Watch
This year, Bremont unveiled the second generation of the Supermarine S302 watch, an updated model retaining the robust charm of its predecessor while packing fresh enhancements. Notably, new colourways uplifted its visual appeal, and improved legibility enhanced its functionality. The 40mm stainless steel timepiece boasts a 50-hour power reserve automatic GMT movement, a new 24-hour unidirectional rotating bezel, and a date function at 3 o’clock. Unlike the first generation, it features a distinctive day-night indication through blue and green colourways on its bezel, offers 300m water resistance, and introduces a brand-new integrated rubber strap for unparalleled wrist comfort. At Banks Lyon, we are proud to stock Bremont watches, including two of its latest releases, as you can see below.
OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black ETNZ Edition 45.5mm
The OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black ETNZ Edition 45.5mm, unveiled in 2023, embodies a fusion of cutting-edge technology and maritime aesthetics. Crafted in collaboration with the Emirates Team New Zealand (ETNZ), it celebrates the spirit of sailing and high-performance timekeeping. This watch features a black ceramic case, complemented by turquoise fern and white lettering reminiscent of the ETNZ’s colours. These OMEGA Planet Ocean models are not only a nod to maritime heritage but also a testament to the brand’s commitment to innovation and style in the realm of luxury watches. This is honoured by the colour scheme and Emirates Team New Zealand logo, saluting the Kiwi crew.
This is a special watch that we are proud to stock here at Banks Lyon. And, as seen below, we offer incredible financing, meaning you can get your hands on this brand-new symbolic watch for just a fraction of the price per month with 0% interest.
TAG Heuer Carrera Skipper Chronograph Heuer 02 39mm
The 2023 TAG Heuer Carrera Skipper Chronograph Heuer 02, a 39mm timepiece, embodies a daring tribute to TAG Heuer’s sailing heritage, inspired by motorsport’s relentless pursuit of precision and speed. It has a distinctive look, resulting from the company’s historic partnership with the America’s Cup boat ‘Intrepid’ during the 1960s. The unique appearance is inherited from the original Skipper, created by Jack Heuer in 1969. Its combination of sporting functionalities and aesthetic appeal make it a truly iconic piece for both sailing and watch enthusiasts, and we are thrilled to offer it to our customers here at Banks Lyon as part of our TAG Heuer Carrera watch collection.
Breitling Top Time Deus Limited Edition
The Breitling Top Time Deus Limited Edition is a stirring tribute to the adventurous nomad spirit, co-designed with Australian lifestyle brand Deus Ex Machina. Redefining the ’60s sports timepiece for the modern era, this limited edition watch makes a statement by blending style and bold functionality. Visually striking yellow and orange details are contrasted against a 41mm stainless-steel case and brown racing-themed calfskin leather strap. This watch, limited to 2000 pieces, incorporates a lightning-bolt-shaped chronograph hand, Deus’ adage “In benzin veritas,” and a retro motorcyclist engraving, further enhancing its appeal to bikers, boarders, and explorers. It is a truly remarkable timepiece that we at Banks Lyon are so excited to share.

Available in 38mm or 34mm cases with polished stainless-steel finishes, each hue complements specific moods, personalities, and occasions.
