Sports watches in 2025 continued to blur the lines between pure utility and high watchmaking. From deep-sea divers engineered for extreme depths to high-frequency chronographs rooted in motorsport and aviation, this year’s releases reflected how far the category has evolved—technically, aesthetically, and conceptually. Materials pushed boundaries, with carbon, ceramicised titanium and advanced alloys joining the familiar stalwarts of steel, gold and titanium, while movements became more specialised, more precise, and often more expressive of brand DNA. Looking back at the year so far, this round-up brings together the standout sports watches of 2025—timepieces that didn’t just perform under pressure, but also defined the conversation around modern sports watchmaking.
For 20 years now, the Blancpain Ocean Commitment programme has raised awareness to protect oceans, and as part of that has released watches that commemorate the initiative. This year, the brand released a fourth limited-edition in the line—the Tech Blancpain Ocean Commitment IV (Ref. 5029A 12B30 64A). The watch takes its design codes from the Fifty Fathoms 70th Anniversary Act 2 Tech Gombessa from 2023, and features a 45mm titanium case with a unidirectional dive bezel with a black ceramic insert. The dial is absolute black, which ensures optimal readability underwater and helps in absorbing light up to 97 per cent. Also making it dive worthy are the hour-markers formed by luminescent block-shaped appliques, a helium valve, central lugs, and an integrated black rubber strap. Calibre 1315A drives the watch with a five-day power reserve. The watch is water resistant to 300m.
Seiko Prospex Marinemaster Professional
This year, Seiko celebrated the 60th anniversary of its 1965 Diver's, Japan’s first diver’s watch, with three new models. However, of them, the Seiko Prospex Marinemaster Professional (Ref. SLA081J1), a 6,000-piece limited edition, stole the spotlight. Apart from being a hardcore diver’s watch (water resistant to 600m), it’s also a flagship model—equipped with the brand’s latest mechanical Caliber 8L45 with a 72-hour power reserve. Inspired by shinkai, or ‘the deep sea’, its textured dial with a thick paint reflects the universe underwater. The 45.4mm watch has a one-piece titanium case with a DLC-coated, stainless-steel bezel that is six times harder and more resistant to scratches.

Rolex Cosmograph Daytona

Powered by automatic Calibre 4131, which has a deviation rate of -2/+2 sec/day and a 72-hour power reserve, this chronograph comes paired with an Oysterflex bracelet.

The third T-Rex after the UR-105 T-Rex (2016) and the UR-100V T-Rex (2021), its standout feature is an avant-garde 41mm bronze case with scales that evoke the scaly skin of a T-Rex. There are jumping hours and minutes, which can be read via an arced aperture, and like the brand’s other watches, the crown rests at 12 o’clock; the lower lugs are designed to be slightly curved for ergonomics. Powering the watch is the automatic UR-1.01V. The watch is offered with a texturised rubber strap.

Doxa brings the GMT function to its SUB line after almost two decades of the launch of the SUB 750T GMT.

The dial features the criss-cross Widmanstätten pattern of an iron meteorite, encased in a 43mm stainless-steel case.

Grand Seiko Tentagraph SLGC009 ‘Tokyo Lion’
This watch incorporates the brand’s first mechanical high-beat chronograph movement within a fresh new design that draws deeply from the ‘Tokyo Lion’ motif—the textured dial evokes the waves of a lion’s mane, the sharp diamond-cut indexes resemble claws, and even the rubber strap’s underside features a subtle lion-paw motif. At its heart beats the Calibre 9SC5 ‘Tentagraph’ movement, operating at 36,000 vph (10 beats per second) and offering a 72-hour power reserve, even when the chronograph is engaged.
