2026's Biggest Watch Trends And Why Tomell London Has Them All
The fashion world has made its call for 2026. The watch world has followed. And if you want to know where the two meet you're in exactly the right place.
Every major trend report published this season points to the same themes: deep emerald greens, bold reds, frosted stardust finishes, rose gold making its strongest comeback in years, and square-face watches cementing themselves as the silhouette of the moment. These aren't predictions. They're already on the wrists of the best-dressed people in every room.
Here's what's trending. Here's how to wear it. And here's exactly where Tomell London's latest releases fit in.
Trend 1: Deep Emerald Green The Colour of 2026
Every credible fashion outlet from Who What Wear to Vogue has named deep green the colour trend of 2026. "Deep emerald green dials are a major trend," confirmed watch experts in January and the runways backed it up immediately. It reads confident. Refined. Outdoors in spirit but luxury in execution.
Tomell London built two pieces that own this trend entirely.
Emerald Shadow £340
Frosted silver case. Deep green stardust dial. This is what emerald green looks like when it's done properly not a flat colour but a living, shifting surface that catches light differently from every angle. Wear it with an olive structured jacket, a white linen shirt, or any neutral. The watch does the rest.
Style it with: Olive or camel tailoring. Cream knitwear. Dark denim. White summer linen.

Emerald Spectrum Noir £410
The same emerald energy, amplified. Silver frosted case with a full rainbow bezel and a green stardust dial that shifts under different light conditions. This is the piece for someone who wants to lead the trend rather than follow it. The rainbow bezel catches attention. The green grounds it.
Style it with: All-black outfits where the watch is the only colour. Or monochrome green if you're committing fully to the moment.

Trend 2: Bold Red and Cherry The Statement Colour
Cherry red was called the breakout colour of spring 2026 by fashion editors across the board bold, eye-catching, and described as pairing perfectly with all neutrals. In watch design, bold red dials carry the same energy: they make the wrist the focal point of the entire look.
Crimson Ray £340
Gold frosted case. Red stardust dial with Arabic numerals. Unisex. Loud enough to command attention, refined enough to wear to dinner. The Crimson Ray is the red watch for people who have decided they're done playing it safe. Wear it against a white shirt cuff and let it do the talking.
Style it with: All-black. Pure white. Navy. Any neutral that needs a focal point which is most outfits.
Crimson Glacier £410
Silver frosted case. Red stardust dial with a full rainbow bezel. The Crimson Glacier takes the boldness of the Crimson Ray and layers in more visual complexity. This is the watch for people who don't just want to wear a trend they want to arrive in it.
Style it with: Monochrome outfits. Sharp tailoring. Anything where the wrist should be the first thing noticed.
Trend 3: Frosted and Stardust Finishes The Texture Moment
The cocktail watch trend for 2026 is defined by one word: texture. Frosted finishes, stardust dials, surfaces that shift and catch light rather than reflecting it flatly. "Frosted with precious stones and stardust details" was cited by Bustle as defining the cocktail watch revival. The Tomell frosted collection was built for exactly this moment.
Ruby Starfall £410
Gold frosted case. Deep ruby red stardust with rainbow bezel detailing. Arabic numerals. This piece was designed to feel like jewellery that tells time the stardust dial shifts in light, the frosted gold case carries warmth, the rainbow bezel ties everything together. The watch trend reports wrote the brief. Tomell answered it.
Style it with: Champagne or gold tones. Deep burgundy. Evening tailoring. A simple white dress where the watch becomes the jewellery.
GILDED OASIS £340
Gold frosted case. Green stardust dial. The intersection of the two biggest trends of 2026 emerald green and frosted gold in a single piece. The GILDED OASIS rewards the person who studies trends rather than chasing them. Both colours are at their peak. This watch wears both simultaneously.
Style it with: Warm earth tones. Camel coats. Cream knitwear. Any outfit that needs depth rather than brightness.
Trend 4: Rose Gold and the Women's Watch Moment
Rose gold is having its most significant moment since 2019 and this time it's arrived with serious credentials. Rihanna and Victoria Beckham have both been photographed in rose gold timepieces this season. The trend reports called it: "more lovingly referred to by watchmakers as pink gold, the dusty rose metal continues to gain traction."
Tomell's 14 Moments collection was built for this exact buyer.
14 Moments Scarlet Promise £230
Gold case. Red dial. Diamond-set Arabic numerals. The 14 Moments collection was designed for women who want a watch that feels like fine jewellery without sacrificing legibility. Wear it stacked with gold rings. Let it replace your bracelet entirely. A 36mm case that wears bigger than its size.

14 Moments Mocha Radiance £230
Two-tone rose gold and silver. Chocolate brown dial. Diamond detailing. Two-tone watches were named one of the defining trends of 2026 the perfect way to bridge yellow gold jewellery with silver accents in the same look. The Mocha Radiance does this effortlessly.
Style it with: Warm neutrals, camel, chocolate brown. The watch ties the look together without trying.

Trend 5: Square Watches The Silhouette of the Moment
Square and rectangular watch faces have been the fastest-growing silhouette trend in watches for two consecutive years. "Angular and sleek styles are a go-to for fashionistas who prefer cleaner lines" Bustle, 2026. The 365 collection is Tomell's answer: a square-case range that started as a statement and became a bestseller.
365 Gold Skeleton £345
Square gold automatic. Open-worked skeleton dial. Self-winding movement visible through the caseback and face simultaneously. The 365 Gold Skeleton is the most technically impressive piece in the Tomell range a proper mechanical watch in a square case that sits at the intersection of every major trend: square silhouette, open-worked dial, automatic movement, gold tone. This is the watch you show people when they ask what you collect.
Why Tomell London Not the Others
This is a fair question. There are hundreds of watch brands. Dozens of them will sell you a green dial or a frosted finish. Here's what makes the answer straightforward.
You're buying from a person, not a corporation.
Tomell London is one person: Tomas. Every order is packed by hand. Every box includes a handwritten note. There is no warehouse picking algorithm, no anonymous fulfilment centre. When your watch arrives, it's because someone cared enough to pack it properly. That is genuinely rare.
The materials don't compromise.
316L stainless steel. Sapphire crystal glass. These aren't marketing terms at Tomell they're the standard specification across the range. 316L is marine-grade, hypoallergenic, corrosion-resistant. Sapphire crystal is virtually scratch-proof. Other brands at this price point use mineral glass that scratches within weeks and steel alloys that discolour. Tomell doesn't.
The track record is public.
Over 7000 orders shipped. 4.9 stars. Prestige Award 2024/25. These aren't claimed they're verified. The reviews are real names, real purchases, real people who chose Tomell and came back to say so.
The trend knowledge is built in.
Every piece in the latest collection was designed before the trend reports arrived and aligned with them anyway. The Emerald Shadow didn't follow the green dial trend. It was part of it. That's not coincidence. That's the result of building with genuine design conviction rather than copying what's popular.
The watch you choose says something about you. Choose something that says it clearly.
