The unidirectional bezel, for one, looks like a generic diver bezel and doesn’t mark off every single minute like most Seiko dive bezels. There’s a date window at 3:00, not a day-date like on the SKX and Turtle, and it’s magnified with a discreet cyclops, something more common on a Rolex than a Seiko.
The watch features a display caseback where you get a glimpse of an automatic Japanese movement — but it’s not from Seiko. Instead, it’s made by Seiko rival Citizen’s Miyota, and is likely the Cal. 8215 based on its 21-jewel count and date complication. It’s a reliable workhorse movement with hacking seconds, a feature that was infamously absent from the old SKX.
Instead of a Seiko movement, this Timex opts for a Japan-made automatic from Citizen’s Miyota.Timex
Timex went with a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating for the Deepwater Meridian, which is definitely an upgrade over the Hardlex mineral crystal you’ll find on the modern Prospex Turtle. The 44mm recycled stainless steel case features vertical brushing and a nicely polished chamfer. It’s a fairly basic design, but it appears to be well-executed with nice, sharp lines, and it looks better than the finishing you’d get on a Seiko at this price.
Timex describes the case as “shock-resistant,” though it’s unclear if this goes beyond the movement’s built-in Parashock anti-shock system. The case is definitely water-resistant, however, with a screw-down crown and caseback guaranteeing 200m of water resistance — the same you’ll find on an SKX or Turtle. Unlike Seiko divers, however, the Timex does not claim to meet the ISO 6425 diver’s watch standard.

That versatility extends to its blade shape. Measuring 3.5 inches, the MagnaCut blade sports a drop point with a steady edge and gently curving belly, and comes to a nice piercing tip. That makes it both adept at long cuts and piercing tasks.
Like the blade, the handle also has a gentle curve, alongside a finger cutout toward the pivot for comfortable ergonomics. However, it also has some jimping on the spine to help grant extra leverage when needed — a nice tactical touch. It also has a reversible pocket clip.
The Draper is big, but not too big.Toor Knives
Critically, despite its large size, the knife weighs just 3.9 ounces — right in the middle of the EDC knife range. That’s not necessarily lightweight, but considering its formidability and material makeup, it’s nice that it won’t overload your pockets.
As I said, while similar to some of Benchmade’s offerings, the Draper is unique. It’s a little sleeker and more understated, somehow more minimalist and aggressive, without losing its everyday utility. It’s a fitting alternative and, perhaps more importantly, more of a diamond in the rough.

September 24, 2025 / Comments Off on Is This Underdog EDC Knife Beating Benchmade At Its Own Game?
Uniqlo U’s fall collection has plenty of intriguing new items, but none quite match the utility of the new Mini Bag. A compact, water-resistant zippered bag with room for your phone, passport and wallet, the Mini Bag is unique in its versatility. Its adjustable strap has over 20 inches of travel, which allows it to be worn like a sling bag, shoulder bag or fanny pack. The strap is also removable, and there’s a built-in armband that gives you yet another way to carry the 1L bag. It’s available in three colors — black, dark gray and dark brown – and will land at Uniqlo online and in stores later this month.
Bowers & Wilkins
Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2
The Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2 are the brand’s flagship noise-canceling headphones for 2025. Similar to the 2022-released Px8 headphones, the “S2” models combine premium materials (mostly aluminum and Nappa leather) with gorgeous design and excellent audio quality, but the British hi-fi manufacturer has made everything a little better. The Px8 S2 promise improved sound up to 24-bit/96 kHz with support for aptX Adaptive and aptX Lossless. They are slightly lighter and slimmer, so they should be more comfortable to wear. Both the earpads and the headband are replaceable, extending their overall lifespan. And they have better ANC, call quality, battery life and more. B&W is calling them the best headphones it’s ever made.
POC
POC Merino Baselayer Mock Neck Jersey
The centerpiece of POC’s new 25/26 Winter season apparel collection is its merino layer collection, and the Mock Neck Jersey is a standout among standouts. Constructed from over 80-percent merino wool, featuring minimal seams and 4-way stretch, this streamlined baselayer is designed to fit close to the body while moving with you. The high collar gives warmth without extra bulk or zippers, and the entire piece is designed to fit under everything from ski race suits to winter cycling jerseys.

The Icelandic outerwear stalwart re-teams with brand ambassador Chris Burkard on a series of new and updated technical, winter-ready staples. Informed by the legendary photographer and filmmaker’s own extreme hiking and biking exploits in the Land of Fire and Ice, the collection includes insulated hoodies, graphene-infused jackets, rugged pants and this fully waterproof and windproof, 40d recycled nylon ripstop shell jacket, loaded with smart details (such as a microfleece collar and side ventilation) even the most seasoned adventurer will appreciate.
Lamborghini
Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT
Lamborghini has partnered with The Italian Sea Group to develop a new ‘motoryacht’ dubbed the 101FT. Designed with inspiration from the Italian automaker’s Fenomeno hybrid hypercar, it comes powered by a trio of MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines for a combined 7,600 horsepower. Slated to arrive in 2027, it’s the second vessel in the collaboration.
Ten Thousand
Ten Thousand Field Overshirt
Ten Thousand’s latest midlayer release takes a significant departure from its typical design aesthetic, and merges heritage styling with the clean, casual look the activewear brand has become known for. The cotton-blend fabric is constructed to repel water and enhance durability, while an odor-blocking treatment keeps things feeling fresh. There’s plenty of pocketing, including a nifty secure-zip stash pocket hidden under the right chest pocket. The Field Overshirt is a classically-styled, capable layer built for anything.

September 24, 2025 / Comments Off on Uniqlo’s $25 Crossbody Bag Has the Makings of an EDC Classic
The allure of vintage watches is undeniable. They have an effortless cool about them that’s nearly impossible to replicate in a modern piece; a result of their historical ties to a romanticized bygone era.
But vintage watches also have an inherent downside: Their reliability, or rather, lack thereof. Even a cheap contemporary watch will be more reliable than a luxury vintage piece, as you likely won’t have to worry about water ingress from a rainstorm or gentle knocks against a doorknob potentially causing thousands of dollars’ worth of damage.
But what about watches that combine certain authentic vintage elements with modern technology? Well, then you’re really cooking with gas, and that’s what Italian microbrand Veneziancio has cooked up with its intriguing new Bucintoro 1976 chronograph.
Venezianico’s new chronograph takes vintage homage watches to a whole other level.Venezianico
Aviation’s Golden Age
Flying these days generally sucks, I think we can all agree on that. But 50 years ago, that wasn’t the case. In 1976, the Concorde made its maiden commercial flight. The supersonic jet ushered in a new but all too brief era of lightning-fast, luxurious air travel, whisking travelers across the Atlantic in a Space Age-design icon flying faster than the speed of sound.
It’s been decades since the Concorde last took to the air, and the dream of supersonic commercial flight disappeared with it. But with its new chronograph, Venezianico is bringing a little piece of the Concorde to your wrist — along with a new-old-stock chronograph engine from the same era.

When tablet computers were first popularized, there was a lot of hype about how they would revolutionize and even replace traditional handwriting. However, the experience turned out to be less than ideal, and most users abandoned the concept.
I believe that was largely due to the difficult-to-translate experience of writing by hand. Tablets feel awkward and smooth, whereas traditional paper and pen are more tactile and substantial.
Now, that gap may have finally been narrowed enough to make an impact. If it delivers on its promise, Montblanc’s Digital Writing could finally bridge traditional handwriting and digital tablets.
Montblanc’s Digital Paper is about the same size as a traditional notebook, but far thinner and way more high-tech.Montblanc
The notebook, reinvented
It makes sense that Montblanc, the world’s most iconic pen brand, would attempt such a venture. It also makes sense that it would get it right in a way that tech companies couldn’t, as the brand came at the problem from the other end.
So what makes this tablet different from others before it? For starters, the brand paid close attention to the act of writing itself. To that end, Montblanc has tried to replicate the feel and texture of genuine paper, opting for a more tactile experience.

They all use traditional moccasin boot construction, which has a single piece of leather for the lower vamp that wraps around the foot and is stitched to a leather midsole panel, which is then attached to the outsole.
This method creates a boot that molds to the owner’s foot like a leather glove as it breaks in, practically making it a customized fit. That comfort has driven the rising popularity of the New England-style chukka boot in recent years.
What I can say for sure is that the Suede Work Chukka Boots feature a hand-sewn moc toe and Vibram lug outsole with a Goodyear welt, both of which match the competition.
The Suede Work Chukka Boots use a Goodyear-welted, Vibram-lug outsole.J.Crew
Regardless of how the midsole is constructed, the Suede Work Chukka Boots check enough boxes to be an excellent alternative to the Made-in-America boots that cost at least $100 more.
J.Crew’s under-appreciated reputation for respectable in-house footwear demonstrates that, at the very least, it is a well-made boot that looks the part.

For the brand, that halo car was the WRX STI. But because Subaru is adamant about its electric future, that could mean a new high-performance EV.
The last WRX STI featured a turbocharged, intercooled 2.5-liter flat-four and standard all-wheel drive.Subaru USA
“There’s a recognition that Subaru has been out of the game for a long time and it would be good to get back into it, although it’s a bit early to say how that would look,” a source within Subaru told AE. “It’s about product that reignites old passions, which is more difficult [with an EV] because a lot of the love for the Impreza was the noise. If you don’t concentrate on range too much, you can get good performance, but the fun factor is more difficult.”
The WRX STI’s giant rear-wing spoiler is one of its most iconic attributes.Subaru USA
Although details aren’t readily available, AE reports that the new halo car would be developed entirely in-house. It wouldn’t be in partnership with Toyota, like the BRZ.
Subaru’s currently collaborating with Toyota and even Mazda to develop three new electric vehicles, which are anticipated to surface in the near future. Back in May 2024, the three automakers committed to a joint-venture to co-develop EVs, new internal combustion tech and other in-vehicle technologies.

There are only a handful of dive watches that have truly reached iconic status. The Rolex Submariner. The Omega Seamaster. The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. And right there, near the top, has to be the Doxa Sub 300.
Making its debut in 1967 as a dedicated professional tool, the Sub 300 stood out from the get-go. It abandoned the more everyday stylings of its competition in exchange for a design that more closely resembled a piece of diving equipment, which is what it was.
The Doxa Sub 300 is unquestionably one of the most iconic dive watches ever made.Doxa
Its unique dual-function bezel not only featured a 60-minute scale but also a decompression timer as an additional tool for divers, while its most recognizable trait was its bright-orange bezel, originally conceived to enhance underwater legibility. (Ironically, the opposite turned out to be the case, as orange is one of the first colors to disappear as you descend into the depths, but the style stuck around nevertheless.)
Today, Doxa boasts an entire range of dive watches, all derived from the original Sub 300. The most unique has to be the Sub 300 Carbon, which maintains the form factor of the original but exchanges its stainless steel case material for lightweight, futuristic forged carbon fiber.
Now, Doxa has debuted a new, limited-edition Sub 300 Carbon that is arguably the brand’s most daring diver yet.
Has the Sub 300 ever looked more hypermodern than this?Doxa

Carlitos, it should be noted, isn’t exactly a slouch in the watch department: He wore the yellow gold, turquoise-dialed Daytona ref. 126518LN to the gala.
Also debuting at Watches and Wonders this year, the model has come to be associated with the tennis star after he previously wore it to celebrate his victories at this year’s French Open and U.S. Open, plus his runner-up finish at Wimbledon.
I’ve tried on the “Alcaraz” Daytona, but I’ve never even seen a “Blue Sapphire” in person. Photo by Johnny Brayson for Gear Patrol
But Federer’s “Blue Sapphire” is decidedly more special. It’s an “off-catalog” Rolex, which means the brand doesn’t technically acknowledge its existence to normal plebs like you and me. You have to be the most “V” of VIPs to even sniff one, and while the SRP for the watch is unconfirmed, the current market price is an astounding $1.5 million. That’s just a hair more than the $37,400 SRP of Alcaraz’s already very special gold Daytona.
In other words, most of us have zero chance of ever getting a Daytona “Blue Sapphire,” or even seeing one in public. The watch’s ultrarare, almost mythical status, combined with its tastefully executed luxury touches that actually look good — blue sapphires and a volcanic stone dial? What? — mean Fed’s new piece just may take the crown, so to speak, as the ultimate modern grail Daytona.

You might worry that this makes them less durable, capable or long-lasting, but fret not; Crocs has made adjustments to suit. While the outsole is thinner, it’s reinforced with a rubber outsole for better traction and to counter wear and tear.
The brand has also improved the back strap to match that lighter weight and additional traction. Now, it has an adjustable “Turbo” strap that’s even more secure — meaning you can go, go, go without having to worry about your clogs slipping off.
The Turbo is still decidedly Jibbitz charm-friendly.Crocs
A Croc by any other name
Crucially, these are still Crocs at their core. As such, they’re still made with the brand’s signature Croslite foam.
That means they’re just as comfortable as customers have come to expect. They’re also waterproof and, therefore, easy to clean, which is an added bonus.

The X Ultra 360 Leather Mid Gore-Tex delivers a cushioned, high-performance EVA midsole, protective Gore-Tex membrane and robust leather for long days on the trail. A molded toe cap, full-foot mudguard and an updated, higher, ankle-hugging cut round out this capable hiker’s feature set.
Vacheron Constantin
Vacheron Constantin Tribute to the Quest of Time
Vacheron Constantin celebrates its 270th anniversary in 2025, and as the world’s oldest continually operating watch brand, it has a lot to celebrate. This addition to its Métiers d’Art line boasts four patents and features a display unlike any other. A 3D gold human figure stands proud at the center of the dial, with his arms acting as retrograde hour and minute hands. You can either have him show the time continuously or on demand by activating a pusher at 10:00, but that’s not all. At 6:00 are a pair of retrograde power-reserve indicators tracking the six days of juice in the new manually wound Cal. 3670 movement, while a spherical gold moon at 12:00 displays the phases and age of the moon. The celestial backdrop of the dual-layer sapphire dial depicts the constellations as they appeared in the night sky above Geneva on the day of Vacheron’s founding on September 17, 1755, while the caseback features a sky chart displaying the current movement of the constellations and sidereal time. This white gold masterpiece is limited to just 20 numbered examples, with the price available upon request.
Satisfy

Satisfy is one of those brands that’s always at the forefront of innovation. After helping pioneer summer-ready apparel with groundbreaking innovations like MothTech, the brand has now turned to cooler weather with its FuzzFleece. This new material is designed to keep you warm without overheating — keeping warmth close while still offering breathability — and is ultralight. It might be the perfect between-seasons running apparel material.
J.Press
Gloverall for J.Press Tartan Morris Duffle Coat
Duffle coats were among the many garments that became popular through military use during World War II. In this case, the British Royal Navy issued them, and while several companies manufactured them, Gloverall became the essential post-war version. The jacket is named after the specific type of wool fabric used and distinguished by horn toggles, a hood with a shoulder cape and large bellows pockets with flaps. J.Press offers an exclusive Made-in-England lineup of the Morris Duffle Coat in genuine 100% wool duffle fabric. It comes in five different Scottish tartans and three solid colors with tartan linings.
DJI
DJI Mini 5 Pro
DJI’s Mini 5 Pro is the brand’s newest compact foldable drone and promises to be a substantial improvement over the 2023-released Mini 4 Pro. The main upgrade has to do with its sensor — the Mini 5 Pro is the first brand’s Mini line to feature a 50-megapixel one-inch-type sensor, and should deliver far superior picture quality and low-light performance. Additionally, DJI gave the Mini 5 Pro notably faster flying speeds (now up to 42 mph) and longer battery life (up to 52 minutes of flight time). Unfortunately for US customers, however, it doesn’t look like DJI is going to sell it in the States.
Osprey
Osprey Daylite Limited Edition Collection
More than half a century after its founding, Osprey has arguably never been hipper. The brand’s collaboration with Carryology last month is one example, and another is this upgraded, town-to-trail treatment of three top EDC offerings: the Daylite Plus Daypack, Sling Shoulder Bag and Waist Pack (shown). Available in Histosol Brown and Tungsten Grey colorways, each boasts durable, water-resistant carbonate-coated ripstop fabric, coated zippers and reflective accents. The first two also feature AirScape backpanels with mesh-covered foam for comfort and breathability, while the third doubles as a cross-body bag.

It also retains its signature ventilated, separate shoe compartment (a must-have for gym-goers, which does double duty as a dirty workout clothes compartment).
Of course, there are also a lot of changes. Some are small, some are major and some add completely new features to the bag’s already impressive array.
There’s a small zippered external pocket perfect for your everyday carry gear.Aer
Smarter, not harder
One of the most significant alterations to this new version of the Gym Tote is its capacity, which has been increased from 19.4 liters to 22 liters. The laptop compartment has also been significantly increased, and it can now carry up to a 16-inch computer (as opposed to a 13-inch).
But wait, there’s more! The bag also gets a new bluesign-approved ripstop nylon liner. That liner is accompanied by a new, smarter internal organizational scheme, made up of a wider main opening, multiple slip pockets and even a hidden tracker pocket (a handy security feature).
September 22, 2025 / Comments Off on One of Aer’s Most Versatile EDC Bags Gets Even Better Via a Ground-Up Revamp
Most chronograph watches follow the same basic layout, with a traditional crown at 3:00 flanked on the right side of the case by chronograph pushers at 2:00 and 4:00, respectively.
But there are plenty of other ways to construct a chronograph. Sometimes, the crown is switched to the left side while the pushers are left on the right, like on the Heuer Monaco. Other chronographs are called monopushers because a singular pusher handles all chronograph functions. Sometimes, this lone pusher is integrated into the crown, which, on the new Ming Iris, is even moved to the left side of the case.
One quirky chronograph setup that was prevalent in the 1970s but is quite rare today is the “bullhead” chronograph. In this format, the chronograph pushers are mounted on the top of the case, resembling a pair of bull’s horns.
Thanks to their similarity to stopwatches, bullhead chronographs are largely associated with motorsports, and that’s especially true of Bulova’s new chronograph, which resurrects the bullhead style with some help from one of the most legendary names in automotive performance.
Bulova has a new bullhead, and it’s pretty killer.Bulova
Cobra commander
Bulova has linked up with Shelby for its new Racer Chronograph, which takes inspiration from Carroll Shelby’s original Shelby Ford Mustang GT500 from 1967. The watch mimics the car’s recognizable blue and white color scheme on the dial and rubber strap, which also replicates the car’s racing stripes.
The racing stripes are subtly referenced on the midcase, as well, which features a pair of machined grooves that hint at the level of care and craftsmanship that’s gone into the piece. A Shelby Cobra logo sits on the dial inside the 3:00 subdial, and the caseback — which is screwed on with four exposed screws — features Shelby’s logo along with Carroll Shelby’s signature and Bulova’s 150th Anniversary logo.

The advanced tonearm is a masterwork of precision engineering.Maharishi
How it differs from its siblings, however, is found in its styling. Courtesy of Maharishi, a fellow British brand, this turntable gets a stunning new color combo: an OD green plinth top mated to a black platter, tonearm and more.
And it manages this significant style boost without pushing its pricing through the roof. While the looks are a major boost, the cost has gone up only moderately (relative to hi-fi turntables): $880 instead of $700.
Stay home or hit the road
While the turntable is the perfect companion for your bookshelf speakers and record collection, the other half of the collaboration is more travel-friendly. Still, the 7613 Maharishi Cambridge Audio Melomania A100 EarBuds are just as technologically impressive, albeit in different ways.
These ‘buds boast 10mm bass drivers for deceptively powerful low-end audio, LDAC high-quality audio, 7-band adjustable EQ (for those that like to tweak their settings), Adaptive Active Noise Cancelling and aptX Lossless tech.

As such, Civivi has given this one a reverse tanto with a straight edge. The piercing point is great for starting cuts, and the plain edge is more versatile for typical everyday use.
Other handy swaps include the fact that it’s a folder (most tactical karambits are fixed-blades, although other folders are also abundant). It also has a button lock, which increases its ease of use and convenience without sacrificing strength or formidability. It also has multiple deployment methods — front flipper, rear flipper, manual — and a reversible pocket clip.
The knife has both front and back flipper deployments and can be opened manually.Civivi
Of course, not all tacticality is missing; it has a gut hook on the reverse of the blade that works as a cord cutter or emergency seatbelt cutter. Plus, the finger hole has a spike that works as a glass breaker. That makes this practically a multi-tool at the end of the day.
Affordable, not cheap
At just $105, the Amaroq is relatively affordable. But that doesn’t mean it makes sacrifices in its capabilities or durability.
The handle is made from aluminum, which is lightweight but extremely strong. It also houses, as mentioned, the rock-solid button lock mechanism.

A well-known brand expands its flagship watch line. Plus, Nothing’s third-gen noise-canceling wireless earbuds, Ray-Ban’s latest smart glasses and more.
Joel Von Allmen for Hermès

Welcome to “Today in Gear,” your daily snapshot of the most important releases in style, watches, tech, motoring, fitness, home and the outdoors.
Hermès expands its flagship sports watch line with this version featuring accents in bleu Saint-Cyr, one of the signature colors of the designer brand’s iconic Birkin bag. The striking color shows up on the luminescent applied hour markers and handset, as well as markings on the black gold-treated minute disc and even the numbers on the date wheel. The unique dial is rhodium-plated and crystal sandblasted for a grained finish, and the titanium case features a black ceramic bezel to complement the black gold minute disc. Inside the watch beats the Hermès Manufacture Calibre H1837 automatic movement, and bringing it all together is a bleu Saint-Cyr rubber strap with a titanium folding clasp.
Nothing
Nothing Ear 3
Nothing’s third-generation flagship wireless earbuds, the Ear 3, look nearly identical to their 2023-released predecessors — they have a similar AirPods Pro-esque shape with a transparent design. The earbuds promise better sound quality, active noise-cancellation and battery life, but the headline new feature has to do with its charging case. It’s called “Super Mic” and it essentially turns the charging case into a standalone, high-quality mic for calls and video conferencing. The Ear 3 is available in two finishes: white or black.
Castelli
Castelli Perfetto RoS 3 Jacket
Straight out of Veneto, Italy, this sleek cycling jacket is the first to feature a game-changing new material, Polartec AirCore. Emerging from the ingredient brand’s conviction that perspiration hurts performance much sooner than precipitation does, it promises the unlikely combination of air permeability, windproofing and water repellency — plus comfort and stretch. There’s a head-spinning amount of science and terms like “nano-fiber membrane” involved, but the bottom line is that over the long haul you stay cool, dry and pedaling your best, no matter the conditions. Hence “RoS,” short for Rain or Shine. The jacket is available for both men and women in four different colors and a range of sizes.
Meta
Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) Smart Glasses
Ray-Ban and Meta have released the second generation of their AI-powered smart glasses. They look just like the first-generation models — basically, like a pair of Ray-Bans — and work very similarly, too. However, the new models boast twice the battery life (now up to eight hours) and, maybe more significantly, boast upgraded cameras that are now capable of capturing up to ultra HD 3K videos. The sunglasses are available in three styles and a bunch of different colors.
Rumpl
Rumpl Fleece Puffy Blanket – Valley Dawn
The most popular blanket in the outdoors just received a cozy upgrade. Rumpl’s new Fleece Puffy Blanket brings together the beloved versatility, packability and durability of its puffer blankets and new, premium fleece, treated to be anti-static, anti-microbial and weather-resistant. A ripstop shell will stand up to adventures, and thoughtful details like the hands-free cape clip will keep you cozy wherever you roam.
Orbea
Orbea RS Control System
Orbea is overhauling its eMTB platform with the launch of the new RS Control System. By incorporating a unique CAN bus communication network, it combines e-bike controls, ride information and — for the first time — smart dropper functionality into a single, compact and intuitive unit, powered entirely by the bike’s main battery. The best part, though, is that it’s all accessible (and programmable) via the RS app and RS Toolbox feature. It’s available on select Rise models.
Dsptch
Dsptch x Aero Pack
This bag was designed to help kids (and their parents) going through Blinatumomab (“Blina” for short) treatment for childhood leukemia. While it can be purchased with a Blina insert designed specifically to house the treatment’s necessary gear, it also functions as a spectacularly built standalone bag — either a kids’ backpack or a sling for adults. This particular version is built from Brushed Bull Denim, cotton duck canvas, and a DWR-coated nylon-polyester. It holds up to 6 liters and weighs just 16 ounces.

Orient brought back this same original multicolor dial on one of the 2021 World Map divers, but this time around, the brand has swapped out its (often-maligned) modern logo for the cursive logo the brand used in the 1950s. It’s a small change but makes a big improvement, in my opinion.
The bracelet is the same one found on the 2021 revival, and is a five-link style that looks like it has seven links. It features a mix of polished and brushed finishes and secures with a dual push-button folding clasp. Visually, it somewhat resembles the iconic “tank tread” bracelet of the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M.
The last major change that makes this watch extra special is its use of yellow gold plating on the fluted bezel and twin crowns. Previously seen on a blander, white-dial 2021 World Map model, the gold adds a glam element to the model that pairs perfectly with the colorful dial, ratcheting up the retro vibes even higher.
The caseback features a commemorative engraving.Orient
Powering the watch, as with most Orients, is an in-house mechanical movement. The Calibre F6922 is an automatic with 22 jewels and a hacking function, along with a power reserve of 40 hours. The movement is hidden behind a solid caseback engraved with the limited-edition number and “Orient Since 1950 75th Anniversary” in the same cursive as the 1950s logo on the dial.
