Geckota will return to British Watchmakers’ Day 2026 to introduce the Pioneer Graphite Special Edition

We’re pleased to share that Geckota will be exhibiting at British Watchmakers’ Day 2026, the annual gathering that brings British watch brands and enthusiasts together under one roof.

What is British Watchmakers’ Day?

British Watchmakers’ Day was created by the Alliance of British Watch & Clock Makers as a dedicated show for British watch brands, hosted at Lindley Hall (Royal Horticultural Halls) in Westminster, London. For 2026, the show is listed for Saturday 7 March 2026 at Lindley Hall.

A defining feature of the event is the Special Edition watches produced specifically for the day by exhibiting brands, limited in number and often gone quickly.

Geckota is exhibiting in 2026

Geckota is included in the official exhibitor list for British Watchmakers’ Day 2026. And to mark the occasion, we’re launching a brand-new Pioneer created especially for the show.

Introducing the Pioneer Graphite Special Edition

Meet the Pioneer Graphite Special Edition: a special Pioneer release that pairs a brushed grey dial with crisp, graphic detailing—and a strap choice designed to let you set the tone.

Pioneer Graphite Special Edition

This is a special 50-piece limited edition, produced to celebrate British Watchmakers’ Day 2026.

One watch, your choice of colour

The Graphite Special Edition is supplied on one top-quality rubber strap with a folding buckle, and you can choose the colour that fits your style best: White, Yellow, Blue, or Orange.

Think of it as a studio concept: a restrained, grey base with an accent colour you select, clean, modern, and easy to wear.

Key details at a glance

The Pioneer Graphite Special Edition keeps the Pioneer’s core strengths intact: a compact-wearing cushion case, everyday-ready water resistance, and a dependable mechanical heart.

  • Case: 41.50mm cushion-style stainless steel, 12.05mm total height.
  • Movement: Automatic TMI NH38 (time-only).
  • Crystal: Flat sapphire with internal anti-reflective coating.
  • Water resistance: 10 ATM.
  • Edition size: 50 pieces.
  • Price: £399 (as listed).

See you at the show

If you’re coming to British Watchmakers’ Day, we’d love to meet you, talk watches, and show you the Graphite Special Edition in person.

According to the organisers, general admission tickets are expected to become available at the end of January, and the official list of 2026 special editions will also be announced at the end of January.

Stay in the loop

Because the Pioneer Graphite Special Edition is strictly limited, we recommend keeping an eye on our updates—and joining the mailing list so you don’t miss availability announcements.

British Watchmakers’ Day 2026. A new Pioneer and an inspired choice of colour. We’ll see you in London!
