Credor Unveils Three Novelties Across the Locomotive and Goldfeather Collections
Watches and Wonders 2026
In 2026, Seiko’s high-end spinoff brand Credor is among a handful of notable names to join Watches and Wonders for the first time. And, counter to common practice, they’ve already announced the watches we can look forward to seeing there in person. Three releases build out existing ranges and present novelty in the form of dial executions for models in the Locomotive and Goldfeather collections. Such cosmetic differences might not grab headlines, but Credor watches are still relatively rare. So the chance to see them in person in Geneva next week and the idea that Credor is putting its name out there more... that's really the exciting part.
Credor Locomotive
Credor’s very own Gerald Genta design originating in the 1970s, the Locomotive was once a little-known vintage gem in the extensive Genta archives. But since its rerelease as a limited edition in 2024, it looks less quirky and obscure by the day. The new model stays true to the original in most respects and features specs consistent with previous models such as its automatic movement (CR01) and titanium case. The dial pattern/texture also matches the existing reference but here it’s a crowd-pleasing blue instead of green. Production doesn’t appear to be limited, and the USD price is listed as $13,200.
Credor Goldfeather Urushi
Seiko fans will be familiar with the term urushi in the context of watch dials. It’s a Japanese style of lacquer work, and here it’s executed in a deep blue in the dressy Goldfeather collection originally from 1960 (predating Credor itself). The line is characterized by traditional, conservative designs with thin, elegant cases (here 37.4mm x 43.2mm x 8.1mm) often enlivened by dial treatments. The movement inside is the manually wound 6890 and, as is often the case for Credor watches, production is limited. With a platinum case, only 25 examples will be available at a recommended price of $47,000 each.
Credor Goldfeather Tourbillon
As to be expected of a halo piece such as a tourbillon watch, Credor goes all out on delivering high horology and artisanship. It takes different forms, but the focus of this version of the Goldfeather Tourbillon is on its extensive hand engraving. That dial might look at first as if it’s merely textured in some way, perhaps brushed, but each tiny groove there is applied manually. The result is an incredibly rich and unique texture. Other elements such as the indices are also engraved with different techniques, as are the bridges of the movement seen through the caseback with a pattern emanating from tourbillon. Price is $215,000 and only 25 examples will be made.
