CheckMag | Full list of Casio, Seiko, and Citizen watch releases from November 2025

Forget October, November turned out to be another incredibly busy month for watch fans. All three major Japanese brands dropped a steady stream of new releases - from entry-level quartz models and Eco-Drive updates to limited editions and collaborations. A lot of these launches were regional, and many sold out quickly or are expected to over the next few weeks. Here’s a grounded look at everything that arrived across Casio, Seiko and Citizen during November 2025.

Casio

Casio pushed out an unusually large number of models this month across G-Shock, Vintage and collaboration lines.

The GMW-BZ5000 Full Metal series officially launched in Japan, bringing three color variants - silver and black (GMW-BZ5000D-1), gold and black (GMW-BZ5000GD-9) and black and gold (GMW-BZ5000BD-1). Prices range between ¥93,500 and ¥102,300 (~$605–$661), and a £569–£619 UK launch is planned. The watches include Bluetooth sync, Multiband 6 and multiple digital layouts.

Casio also opened sales for the new GW-BX5600 models (1JF and 1A1JF) in Japan at ¥30,800 (~$200). They feature a new MIP LCD panel, solar charging, Bluetooth and Multiband 6, packed into the familiar square-case 5600 shape.

The hybrid metal GM-S2110 watches (1A1 and 1A7) launched in Japan at ¥29,150 (~$188). They use an octagonal metal bezel, a cross-hatched dial and analog-digital hybrid setup with world time and stopwatch tools. On the larger end, the GM-2110D full-metal lineup arrived in the US at $330, and early listings suggest stock moved fast.

A large part of Casio’s activity this month focused on collabs. The AQ-230 x Liberty London releases (AQ-230ELT-7A / AQ-230EBLT-1A) introduced paisley-engraved dials and bracelet options priced at £114.90 and £134.90. The highly anticipated G-Shock x Bamford collab also dropped this month. Plus, Casio also launched:

• G-Shock x Maison Kitsuné GA-2110MK-5A - £159 in the UK
• G-Shock x Beautiful People GM-S2110BP-5A - ¥38,500
• G-Shock x Lorem "Time Run" - limited to 24 units

We had some pop-culture tie-ins as well. The AQ-800EST-1A Stranger Things collab surfaced for a December launch, and the DW-5600STT-1JR Stranger Things G-Shock arrived in Japan for ¥19,800 (~$130).

In the more affordable space, Casio added new colors to the AQ240 line, including a full-gold AQ240EG-9A for $94.95 in the US. The AE-1700H series also launched at $54.95, notable for offering a fishing mode - a feature that rarely appears in mainstream models. The MTPB145GC-9AV gold analog watch also hit the US at $140.

Seiko

Seiko’s November lineup had compact automatics, limited editions and themed models targeted towards specific markets.

The Seiko 5 Sports SBSA317 J. Press collaboration released in Japan with interchangeable straps and a retro design. It’s limited to 500 units and priced at ¥61,600 (~$1,032).

Seiko Thailand unveiled the Prospex Muay Thai Limited Edition, a diver with a gold-and-black finish and a textured dial, available from November 27. The month also included a Thai-market-only Presage Cocktail Time SRPM01J, limited to 500 pieces and 22,000 baht (~$680), inspired by Maya Bay.

Three compact 32 mm automatic models - SRE021, SRE023 and SRE024 - arrived as part of a smaller-case push within Seiko’s range. They run on the 2R06 movement with 40-hour reserve.

Two themed releases also drew a fair amount of attention. The 500 Type EVA-02 chronograph, tied to the Evangelion and Shinkansen anniversary, launched for $550 with 5,000 units planned for April 2026 delivery. Meanwhile, the Astron SSJ037 landed in Singapore at $2,400, limited to 1,500 units, with a titanium build and 3X62 GPS Solar movement.

Grand Seiko

Grand Seiko focused nearly entirely on limited editions this month. Four nature-inspired pieces debuted in Japan - SBGW324, SLGA034, SLGA037 and SLGW008 - with production runs between 20 and 100 units. Prices go up to ¥1,700,000 (~$10,820) depending on material and movement.

Two 37 mm Heritage quartz watches (SBGX357 and SBGX265) are scheduled for December release, priced around SEK 48,900 (~$5,126) and $2,700. Meanwhile, the SLGB005 "Violet Dawn" Spring Drive U.F.A model began worldwide sales at $11,100 in the US, €11,000 in the EU and £9,500 in the UK, limited to 1,300 units.

Citizen

Citizen covered a wide range of categories, from entry-level Eco-Drive chronographs to premium dress watches and special-edition collaborations.

The OF Collection Aviator chronographs (CA4654-04E, CA4654-55E and CA4654-55X) launched in Europe for €259-€269, with a telemeter bezel and B620 Eco-Drive movement. Six new metal-cased Eco-Drive models also appeared in China (AW1819 and AW1818 variations) priced between CNY 1,675 and 1,765 (~$235–$248). Singapore saw four new compass-bezel analog models in the CA0880 lineup at around S$457–S$534.

On the collab side, Citizen introduced the AW1862-06W Soaring Mickey limited model in the US for $375, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade and limited to 500 pieces. The Tsuno Chrono AN3664-56E also appeared in Japan for ¥34,100 (~$220).

At the high-end, Citizen revealed the Eco-Drive One AQ5010-01A, limited to 160 units with a 4.5 mm-slim steel case, and a pair of limited releases following it: the NH9144-55L E.T. automatic (350 units) and the AQS0202-02L Eco-Drive One (250 units). Citizen’s Campanola Starry Echoes collection further pushed toward the premium space, topping out at a hefty ¥1,320,000 (~$8,527) for the mechanical model with 150 units.

A lot of the releases from November are either already sold out locally or expected to be hard to find heading into December.
