Chanel Launches New J12 Watches Including A Limited-Edition Golden Black Version
The iconic J12 watch now comes in even more iterations, freshly unveiled at Watches and Wonders 2026.
The Chanel J12 watch is a horological icon that just keeps on giving. Following its latest campaign starring Gisele Bundchen and Clement Chabernaud, the J12 range has once again expanded with brand new iterations for 2026. While we previously cooed over the J12 Bleu, which comes in an inky matte Chanel-customised blue that took a whopping five years to perfect, the ones unveiled at Watches and Wonders 2026 go back to basics in classic blacks and whites.
Of the assortment in this unisex aquatic sports watch line, these standouts catch our greatest attention, including a limited-edition J12 Golden Black timepiece in two case dimensions. Here’s a look at these sleek new Chanel wrist candy.

NEW CHANEL J12 WATCHES ON OUR RADAR THIS 2026
Chanel J12 Golden Black 28mm (limited edition)
While the J12 is typically primarily ceramic, the limited-edition Chanel J12 Golden Black contrasts a matte black ceramic case and bracelet strap with a dark steel bezel and gold metallisation, together with gold-plated numerals lending a touch of glitz to the sporty timepiece. This miniature 28mm version sits nicely on smaller wrists without feeling overwhelming.
Chanel J12 Golden Black Caliber 12.1 42mm (limited edition)
Here’s an oversized 42mm version of the limited-edition Chanel J12 Golden Black watch, best catered to the male wrist. With the same design appeal as the slim 28mm, this larger timepiece hides a little secret on the back: flip it over to admire the intricate clockwork mechanism and its movement.
Chanel J12 Superleggera
The perfect balance of rugged athleticism and sleek design come together in the Chanel J12 Superleggera Caliber 12.1 42mm, another masculine large-cased piece. In matte black ceramic and steel, this 2005 design gets a contemporary update: a satin finish on the top of the bezel ring and blackened steel on the base, with red arrow accents bringing subtle energy – all finished off on a polished note with satin-brushed bracelet links.
