The AURA GT is a new button plate, or hub, and there’s a fresh range of rims to create four new steering wheels, too. Ascher Racing has unveiled a new GT-style sim racing wheel range at the SimRacing Expo Frankfurt 2026. The AURA GT is, fundamentally, an all-new button plate (sometimes referred to as a wheel hub), which in turn can be paired with third-party wheel rims, or two new Ascher-created units. Each of these two fresh designs can be had in either leather or suede, meaning four new steering wheels are available. Ascher terms it as “three shapes, five styles”. It’s also its first wheel range with native Simucube Link support, should you choose. AURA GT wheel plateBilled as a successor to the existing B-Series range (the hub specifically is set to replace the Ascher B16-USB), the AURA GT wheel plate features eight RGB-backed push buttons taken from the company’s McLaren Artuta wheel range. These sit alongside two thumb encoders, two seven-way joysticks, two 12-position rotaries and 21 LEDs.

Mido revived the distinctive Multifort TV case in 2023, building a collection of rectangular watches with an (almost) integrated bracelet, including fun editions with the retro TV test card dials. The Multifort TV Big Date is one of the recognisable models, with a strong geometric design, a large date display and an accessible automatic movement. Now, Mido introduces a new version that brings certified precision to the collection. The new Multifort TV Big Date Chronometer retains the familiar proportions but introduces a redesigned dial and a COSC-certified Powermatic Calibre 80. The stainless steel case, finished with satin-brushed and polished accents for a sporty modern appearance, remains unchanged, measuring 40mm wide, 39.2mm long and 11.5mm thick, with a 46.85mm lug-to-lug. A sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides protects the dial. The screw-down crown and screw-secured caseback help achieve a 100m water resistance. The three-part case construction and transparent caseback remain familiar elements of the Multifort TV Big Date. The main evolution is on the dial side and what beats inside the watch.
