321 is not coming back to Omega. We're more likely to see a Breguet with a modified 321, and that's still a long shot.

Omega launches only 1 (one) Speedmaster limited edition.

Hublot does a tasteful Big Bang tribute to the late Stephen Hawking.

Rolex adopts a new strategy of not restricting supply and facilitating access to all its new Basel releases via a an online e-commerce reservation system, where you can track your watch remotely as it is tested and prepared to be sent to the local Rolex boutique.

Kern says Breitling will no longer be working with paid ambassadors, only true watch enthusiasts.

Omega and Rolex join forces to initiate a philanthropic watch mass education campaign. Their first order of business is inscribing sides of all new 50m depth and above watch cases, purchased by first time brand owners, the words:

"Yes, it's safe to wear this 🤬 watch while you swim."



Edit- Okay, You did say "plausible" in your thread stipulations. But I can dream!
