Shortlist being finalised – Voting opens 1st October 2026
Pre-selection nominations have closed and the shortlist is being finalised. The main vote starts on 1st October across ten categories.
The OT Watch Awards are shortlisted and voted for by Oracle Time readers - no judging panel, no paid categories, no favours to advertisers. Just the watches that genuinely earned their place across a year of new releases. Pre-selection nominations close on 18th September, 2026.
The main vote will then begin on 1st October 2026 and run across ten categories, from dive and chronograph to high complication and the wide-open Readers' Choice Watch of the Year. Any timepiece released in the last 12 months is eligible, from accessible microbrands to haute horology.
Voting is free and ends 31st October 2026. Winners will be announced 1st December.
