The New Horage Molokini GMT Diver Collection

Founded by Andreas Felsl and Tzuyu Huang in 2007, Horage approached watchmaking from an unconventional angle: rather than starting with design and sourcing movements, the company began by developing in-house calibres. Now Horage has a portfolio built around modular movement families, the automatic K1, the micro-rotor K2, the K-TOU with a tourbillon regulator and K-TMR micro-rotor tourbillon, and the recent COSC-certified K3 automatic (that debuted in the new DecaFlux three-hand sports watch), all engineered to deliver high-end specifications at comparatively restrained prices.

The K2 micro-rotor calibre, introduced in the Supersede GMT (2021), was later expanded to power several references, like the Lensman 2 Exposure, the Omnium and the updated Autark. K2 has become central to Horage’s identity: COSC-certified, with silicon components, and configurable for multiple complications, it underpins some of the most technically competitive sports watches in its segment. The new Molokini GMT Diver is the latest evolution: a more compact, original dive watch that retains K2 movement.

The Molokini (named after a popular snorkelling and diving spot, the Molokini Crater, located off the coast of Maui, Hawaii) is housed in a 38mm case made from 904L stainless steel, a material selected for its corrosion resistance and ability to take a high polish. At 9.65mm thick and 44.6mm lug-to-lug, the proportions are notably compact for an automatic GMT dive watch, made possible by the movement’s micro-rotor construction. The case features a unidirectional rotating timing bezel, a domed sapphire crystal with multi-layer AR coating, and a sapphire exhibition caseback. Water resistance is 200m, thus Molokini is a functional dive watch, not just a nominal sports model.

At launch, Horage offers three dial colours, Sand, Coral and Ocean, each with a distinct surface treatment. Instead of applied markers, the Molokini uses printed Arabic numerals filled with Super-LumiNova, contributing to a highly legible, slightly unconventional aesthetic. Despite the complications, the dial remains under control. Central hours, minutes and seconds are paired with a true traveller GMT, allowing the local hour hand to jump independently. A vertical big date is at 6 o’clock, while a day/night indicator at 9 o’clock and a power reserve display at 10 o’clock are executed as compact discs rather than traditional sub-dials.

As mentioned, powering the Molokini is Horage’s in-house Calibre K2, an automatic micro-rotor movement measuring 3.6mm in height. The K2 operates at 28,800 vibrations/hour, delivers a 72-hour power reserve, and incorporates a silicon balance spring and escapement to improve resistance to magnetism and long-term stability. Regulation is achieved via a screw-balance system, and each movement is COSC-certified. The tungsten micro-rotor is gold-plated, and the movement is anthracite-finished.

The Molokini is worn on a three-link 904L stainless steel bracelet fitted with HMAC (Horage Micro Adjustable Clasp) folding clasp, offering 10mm of tool-free micro-adjustment in 1mm increments. An additional “OTAN” fabric strap is included, available in white/black, white/sand or white/coral. Pricing is set at CHF 6,490, with a pre-order price of CHF 5,990 available from February 10 to February 28, 2026. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in early May 2026.
