The Nomadic Céad 126 British Watchmakers Day Limited To Only 7 Pieces

4 Feb

Nomadic Watches are back and they have brought something properly special with them. Say hello to the Céad 126 British Watchmakers Day Limited Edition, a watch created to mark British Watchmakers Day 2026 on 7 March and to celebrate a few rather heroic milestones along the way.

Based in Belfast, Nomadic have limited this one to just 7 pieces, which feels fitting given the occasion and the stories baked into it. The dial is dressed in the brand’s signature trio of colours Crimson, Deep Ocean Blue and Navigator White. It is a confident red white and blue tribute that feels patriotic without ever tipping into novelty.

The name Céad 126 is not just there to look good on paper. The number 126 marks an average lap speed record of 126mph, set by Nomadic ambassador Glenn Irwin at the North West 200. That run made him the first rider to break the 125mph barrier, which is no small feat. It is also a quiet nod to the late great Joey Dunlop and his remarkable 26 victories at the Isle of Man TT. If you like your watches with proper stories behind them, this one is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

On the wrist, the Céad 126 strikes a confident but wearable stance. The 316L stainless steel case is fine brushed and polished, paired with a fixed bezel and a flat anti reflective sapphire crystal. At 40mm in diameter with a 48mm lug to lug length, it has real presence without feeling unruly, while the 14.3mm thickness suits the motorsport chronograph energy perfectly.

Powering the watch is the Sellita SW500 M a manual wind day and date movement. It beats at 28,800 bph, offers a healthy 58 hour power reserve and brings 21 jewels to the party. In short, it is a serious engine for a watch that takes its inspiration from serious speed.

With just seven pieces available, the Céad 126 British Watchmakers Day Limited Edition is not hanging around. It is a bold celebration of British and Irish motorsport, a respectful tribute to racing legends, and a confident statement from a brand that continues to carve out its own lane.
