The Smartest Yeti Cooler Accessories I’ve Ever Seen Aren’t Even Made by Yeti

Yeti’s hard coolers have become a near-default choice for serious outdoor enthusiasts — and for good reason. They’re proudly overkill.

But while Yeti’s obsession with durability and ice retention is legendary, a small Arkansas-based Etsy shop, LatchOutdoors, is quietly (and cleverly) upgrading Yeti Roadie coolers with smart, practical features — not by replacing them, but by swapping out the latches.

Using 3D printing and a keen eye for what cooler owners need, they’ve created a trio of aftermarket upgrades worthy of any Yeti fan’s attention.

A Bright Idea

The LightLatch is LatchOutdoors’ most compelling accessory. It replaces the stock latch with a similar-looking latch that integrates a small LED light capable of outputting 16 lumens.

Ever rummaged through a cooler in the dark, trying to find one last cold drink at the bottom of the ice?

The LightLatch replaces the stock Yeti Roadie latch with a built-in LED light capable of producing 16 lumens. It can be turned on and off with a squeeze of the integrated button.

A single light can brighten the cooler’s interior when the lid is opened. If you don’t have another light source, a pair of lights can illuminate the surrounding area around a cooler even when closed by flipping up the end of the latch.

Nike Reignites the White Sneaker Debate with a Deceptively Durable Drop

But these sneakers have a secret weapon: a HART (High Abrasion Rubber Tech) outsole. This material is slimmer than the brand’s other XDR rubber technologies, making it lighter and more flexible, but it doesn’t sacrifice durability or abrasion resistance.

Better still, the rubber creeps up over the toe, sides and heel, offering extra protection where you need it most. Yet, since it’s semitransparent, it still lets the elements beneath, like the signature Swoosh, show through.

Clean *ss kicks

There are a few other benefits to the reinforcement of this sneaker. For starters, since they’re white, it’ll keep them clean for longer, resisting dirt and other buildup, while making them easier to clean.

If you do choose to use them for skating, that rubber will add some character. You’ll get scuffs and scrapes without ripping through the upper, allowing them to last longer while still accruing some uniqueness.

The Original Dive Watch’s Big Year Continues with a Forward-Thinking Release

Tech-nically New

The Fifty Fathoms Tech isn’t brand new, as it’s a version of an earlier watch from the brand. The original was the Fifty Fathoms Tech Gombessa, a wild 47mm diver with a single central lug, an integrated rubber strap, an Omega-esque helium escape valve at 10:00 and an original complication for timing dives up to three hours using a fourth hand and custom bezel.

That watch was launched in 2023 as the second in a trilogy of unique Fifty Fathoms celebrating the 70th anniversary of the model, and while not technically a limited edition, it is quite limited in production. Then, in March of this year, the brand launched the Fifty Fathoms Tech Ocean Commitment IV. It shrunk down and simplified the Tech Gombessa to create a more wearable 45mm watch with a time-and-date movement.

Blancpain

That watch was a limited edition, created to support the Blancpain Ocean Commitment program. Now, finally, Blancpain has created a non-limited, readily available Fifty Fathoms Tech — and it’s introducing an all-new technology to the brand.

Quick Change

The new Fifty Fathoms Tech shares a lot in common with the limited Tech BOC IV from earlier this year. It has the same 45mm across x 14.2mm thick round case in Grade 23 titanium with a central lug design and integrated rubber strap.

It features the same Absolute Black dial that absorbs 97 percent of light to better contrast with the solid block Super-LumiNova indices and fully lumed minute track. The same fully lumed rounded sapphire bezel insert introduced on the BOC also remains.

A Leading-Edge Brand May Have Just Revolutionized the World’s Most Important Fabric

Two shirts, more to come

You don’t have to wait to get your hands on Outlier’s Freecotton fabric if you want to test it out for yourself. The brand has launched it in two shirt styles.

The first is the Outlier Boxford, a black, long-sleeved button-up. It’s a classic, relaxed cut that works great as an office-appropriate option, but it can also be worn as a more casual streetwear piece with the right accessories.

The second is a little bit more casual, if only by virtue of its short sleeves. It’s called the Outlier Freecotton Shortsleeve and, for now, it’s only available in light blue. That said, it otherwise has the same overall cut and form as the Boxford.

That includes the front breast pocket, dress collar, flat hem, vented sides and more.

Sazerac Rye 100 Proof

Buffalo Trace Distillery has beefed up its iconic Sazerac Rye whiskey due to customer demand. Crafted with bartenders in mind, Sazerac Rye 100 Proof is more potent and boasts a spicier punch than standard 90-proof Sazerac Rye while still maintaining its familiar flavor profile. This allows the whiskey to be more assertive in cocktails, granting bartenders greater control when crafting drinks. Perhaps best of all, the rye is priced to sell, with an SRP of just $30 for a 1L bottle.

Taylor Stitch The Shop Shirt in Selvedge Denim

Taylor Stitch upgraded The Shop Shirt with a 100% cotton 14-ounce selvedge denim. It is rinsed indigo denim, one step away from raw, so it comes slightly softened but with plenty of breaking in to do. This kind of natural indigo-dyed denim creates the best patina as it ages. The Shop Shirt has large chest pockets, double-needle flat lock seams, a double-panel yoke and rubberized buttons. A Note on Sizing: The Shop Shirt runs a bit big, so it is better to go by the numerical sizing than the letter sizing.

Nothing’s budget-friendly gadget company’s latest smartwatch, the CMF Watch 3 Pro, has some welcome improvements over last year’s Watch 2 Pro. It boasts a new heart rate sensor, improved GPS tracking and a variety of new fitness features (including AI coaching) for casual runners. It has a 10-percent bigger AMOLED screen with thinner bezels. It also features an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, a feature its predecessor lacked. Available in three colors: dark grey, light grey and orange.

Zyon Helmet + Filter Kit

This innovative brain bucket from a Spanish start-up takes protection to another level with its Breathe Safe System, which Zyon says filters out air pollution. Good for one to three months of use, the helmet’s four-layered filters offer three ventilation modes (low, medium and high) to screen fine particles, dust, toxic gases and allergens. The helmet also boasts that cycling staple, MIPS (multi-directional impact protection system), an active rear light system and connectivity that monitors the state of the filters and, for better or worse, rider activity. Zyon is currently accepting pre-orders for the helmet, which will officially launch in five colors and six sizes at the end of the year.

The first Honda-approved NACS-to-CCS DC fast-charging adapter gives Honda and Acura EV owners access to more than 23,500 Tesla Superchargers across the United States. As of its launch, the adapter requires the use of the Tesla app; however, Honda is working to integrate its own HondaLink and Acura EV software for convenient plug-and-charge capabilities.

After 59 Years, Vans Found a New Way to Ruggedize Its Original Sneaker

The Authentic Zip Vibram blends modern trail tech with decades of surf heritage.

After converting the Old Skool into a rugged, all-terrain hiker, Vans will usher its original sneaker down a similar path.

Only this time, the Authentic — formerly known as Style 44 in the 1960s — will retain its original look and geometry, albeit with exponentially more rugged materials.

Modern outdoor tech with decades of surf heritage

First the first time ever, the Vans OTW Authentic Zip Vibram sees the classic design take on a Vibram Vulc Tank Tread outsole.

Though various Vans models have adopted Vibram outsoles, this is the first time the Authentic has received Vulc Tank Tread.
Vans

This not only injects the classic shoe with extra traction and grip but increases its durability tenfold compared to standard Authentic models made with vulcanized rubber.

That ethos also shines on the rest of the upper and midsole, starting with a higher-than-average sidewall and knurled rubber heel counter — not to mention a reinforced toe cap for extra impact protection.

The OTW Authentic Zip Vibram comes in two colors — blue and high-visibility yellow.

Casting its namesake attribute aside, however, the shoe’s most novel feature is undoubtedly its stretchy neoprene upper inspired by wetsuits and booties.

That of course grounds the shoe in decades of surf heritage, while also making it both naturally adaptive and easy to put on — a feature underscored by its unique zip closure.

Availability and pricing

The Vans OTW Authentic Zip Vibram comes in two colorways at launch, “Dress Blue” and high-visibility “Canary Yellow.”

In the US, it’s currently available at Cncpts for $110.

This Super-Sleek Speed Demon Motorcycle Is a Handmade Masterpiece You Can Actually Buy

Even with the stylistic changes and the addition of a full fairing, it can still hit speeds of up to 125 mph and do 0-60 in a blistering 3.3 seconds. But that’s to be expected, considering the bike it’s based on is a racing-focused beast.

The bike’s 16L fuel tank also makes it suitable for pretty long rides. That capacity grants it about 145 miles of range between refuels, which is a good thing, since you’ll want to stay on top of this beauty as long as you can.

Silver bullet

Performance is only one part of the equation. The other is craftsmanship. And while the bike can definitely tear up the tarmac, its how Bandit9 has transformed it that really helps it stand apart.

That starts with the obvious: the full fairing. The bike’s bodywork has been completely reimagined, handcrafted out of a combination of hand-polished aluminum (for the forward fairing) and carbon fiber (for the seat).

Subaru’s Latest EV Is Its Smallest and Sportiest Crossover Yet

Small but mighty

As a more compact alternative to other Subaru EVs, the Uncharted measures nearly seven inches shorter than the Solterra, and Subaru states that the turning radius is nearly identical to that of the Crosstrek.

However, don’t discount the crossover based on its smaller stature — behind the second row, the Uncharted will provide more than 25 cubic feet of cargo space. Moreover, Subaru will be equipping the model with a 14-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility, dual wireless chargers and a suite of driver-assist technologies as standard.

As is typical of EV interiors nowadays, the Subaru Uncharted is set to feature a prominent touchscreen interface front and center.
Subaru

In the case of the higher-spec Sport and GT trims, Subaru will be giving the Uncharted some serious power under the proverbial hood. The addition of a second electric motor at the rear axle will enable up to 338 horsepower through Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system. Each spec will also benefit from “specifically tuned suspension components” to provide for more responsive and terrain-optimized driving.

On the road, this means that the quickest Uncharted models will be able to rocket from 0-60 mph in less than five seconds. That’s some blistering acceleration for a Subaru crossover— especially when you consider that 0-60 mph for the Subaru WRX (or even the BR-Z) takes all of 5.4 seconds or more.

Scottie Scheffler’s Watch at The Open Just Reignited a Classic Rolex Debate

The Return of Black & Green

A close-up of the face and dial of the Rolex Submariner 126610LV Starbucks Rolex

In 2020, Rolex brought back the green-bezeled, black-dialed configuration in the form of the Submariner Date 126610LV, replacing the Hulk with what many interpreted as a return to classic form. If that’s any indication, Rolex might see the green bezel/black dial combo as the truest expression of the green Sub.

This new model quickly picked up two nicknames: “Cermit”, for its combination of Cerachrom bezel and Kermit heritage, and “Starbucks”, for its resemblance to the coffee giant’s unmistakable green-and-black branding.

Is the Hulk’s bold, all-green aesthetic the ultimate flex? Or is the more classic Kermit/Cermit layout the definitive version of Rolex’s green vision?

Call it what you will, but this version brought a few notable upgrades: a slightly larger 41mm case (up from 40mm), Rolex’s newer Caliber 3235 movement with improved power reserve and efficiency, and a more refined case profile with slimmer lugs.

On the surface, these changes are modest—but in Rolex-land, subtle design shifts often spark debates more intense than a sudden-death playoff.

Viberg Navvy Tobacco Calf Suede

Viberg’s Navvy is a round-toe derby-style ankle boot built on the brand’s 1940 last, which is based on the US Navy last used during WWII for a comfortable anatomical fit. It also uses a Split Welt, defined by a strip of leather stitched to the upper and the midsole, which creates a more water-resistant seal than a standard Goodyear Welt. The Tobacco Calf Suede is a perfect color for all-year wear and will only improve with age as it patinas.

Victorinox Altmont Modern Travel Collection itemsVictorinox

Victorinox Altmont Modern Travel Collection

The brand best known for Swiss Army Knives brings its knack for streamlined design to its latest versatile carry collection aimed at young professionals, which runs the gamut from belt and sling bags to backpacks and wheeled duffels. Ranging in price from $70 to $285, the collection consists of 10 styles in black and navy blue made of recycled polyester with antimicrobial Silvadur linings. Everything is sized to be carryon compliant, the backpacks and daypacks feature removable laptop sleeves, lockable zippers and key fobs, and all items get smart organizational pockets plus reflective accents for increased visibility.

an armin strom watchArmin Strom

Armin Strom Orbit Lime Green

Armin Strom’s Orbit was already arguably the coolest way to display the date on a watch, and now the watch is even more of a conversation piece thanks to the addition of this Lime Green dial. The watch’s date mechanism is exclusive to the brand and uses a pusher at 10:00 to activate a column wheel, which triggers a center-mounted hand to point to the current date on the ceramic bezel. Another press of the pusher sends the hand back to its resting spot at 12:00, similar to a chronograph hand, meaning the watch only shows the date when you want it to. Necessary? No. Cool? You bet. The watch, which also comes in an equally striking Ice Blue variant, retails for CHF 36,000 (~$45,000).

GIK Acoustics Sound Block StackPackGIK Acoustics

GIK Acoustics Sound Block StackPack

The StackPack is a trio of acoustic panels (called Sound Blocks), two designed for high-frequency diffusion and one for low-frequency absorption, stacked on top of each other and configured in a tower formation. Like other foam panels, the StackPack is meant to help absorb unwanted acoustic reflections, ensuring your room and hi-fi or home theater system sound their best. What’s unique is that the top two Sound Blocks have wooden accent plates — available in three styles, Beech Noir, White Hot and Dusky Fawn — so that they look nice and better blend into your room’s decor. The StackPack can be free-standing or wall-mounted, and, as part of a modular system, it affords you the flexibility to configure or expand the system as needed.

America’s Cup by Taschen

TASCHEN’s America’s Cup, developed in collaboration with Louis Vuitton and designed by Marc Newson, offers a comprehensive visual history of sailing’s most iconic competition. Spanning over 170 years of competition, the book combines archival imagery, technical schematics, and first-hand accounts to document the evolution of yacht design, racing tactics, and team rivalries. It’s available in three editions, two of which qualify as some of the most luxurious coffee table releases in recent memory. The Collector’s edition is limited to 824 printings and features a case design by Newson made from cotton sailcloth and a custom-made Louis Vuitton closure. The ultimate signed Marc Newson Art Edition is limited to 175 printings and adds a numbered carbon fiber bookstand designed by Newson. While pre-orders are available now, the book will officially ship this September.

Keen Seek Trail Running Sneakers on feet on dirt trailKeen

Keen Seek Trail Running Shoes

If you’re familiar with the brand Keen, it’s probably because of their outdoor-ready sandals. The brand has been a leader in the open-toe adventure footwear for years. But now, the brand is taking a leap into an entirely new category: trail runners. Their first foray, the Seek, is exceptionally competent, marked by a grippy all-terrain outsole, impact-resistant midsole foam, and a breathable anti-odor upper. And they also look pretty great, all things considered.

This Dive Watch Is an Affordable Tudor Alternative That Loses the Brand’s Most Divisive Features

The Diet Baytona

Titoni’s new Baytona competitor is the Seascoper 300 Chronograph, and it seems pretty likely the brand’s designers took a peek at Tudor when penciling the watch’s lines.

Like the Black Bay Chrono, the Seascoper Chronograph features a bicompax layout with a 1/4-second minute track, a black-on-white date window replacing the index at 6:00 and the two chronograph registers that delete the indices at 3:00 and 9:00.

The indices are round and applied, with silver surrounds and white lume — just like on the Black Bay Chrono. The 12:00 index is trapezoidal instead of a Tudor triangle, offering some distinction between the brands.

You won’t find pink or Flamingo Blue, but Titoni does offer its Seascoper Chronograph with a blue or green dial in addition to black.
Titoni

The stainless steel case is 42mm across, slightly bigger than the 41mm Tudor, and thicker at 15.5mm compared to Tudor’s 14.4mm thickness. But with that increased size comes an increase in water resistance, from 200 to 300m.

The screw-down pushers recall the Baytona, as does the oversized crown, which features an engraving of Titoni’s plum blossom logo. The Baytona also features a flower on its crown: the old-school Tudor rose logo.

Is This Simply the Best-Looking Premium Adventure Motorcycle Yet?

These are only somewhat ironic considering that if you ride the bike right, the former will soon be covered with dust, dirt and other adventure-borne debris.

Take a closer look and you may pick up on the fact that Option 719 also boasts number of milled aluminum parts with a shadow finish.

Such parts include the hand lever, the cover of the liquid tank on the handbrake fitting and clutch lever fitting, the cover clasps over the spark plugs on the valve covers and the front pegs and foot levers.

The aluminum tank, meanwhile, gets a deep Blue Metallic coat of paint, accented by the GS branding, which manifests with a glorious golden-hued outline. 

The two airbox covers get a matte clear coat, while the central fuel tank cover, an extension of the seat, is upholstered with a gray and black cover featuring the Option 719 emblem. 

An Iconic Muscle Car Is Finally Available to the Public After Years of Setbacks

Be it Steve McQueen in Bullitt or Keanu Reeves in John Wick, some of Hollywood’s hottest action stars have made their mark on the Ford Mustang. However, in the world of iconic movie cars, there are few vehicles that are as instantly recognizable as the 1967 GT500 from the 2000 remake of Gone in 60 Seconds

With Nicolas Cage at the wheel as car thief Memphis Raines, the infamous Eleanor Mustang cut quite the figure. Painted in a muted shade of Dupont Pepper Gray, it boasted eye-catching mods like fender flares, side-exit exhaust and, of course, nitrous injection. 

As is the case with most vehicles that have enjoyed time on the silver screen, the aftermarket abounds with replicas. However, for many years, the legality of such tributes was questionable at best. Thanks to a recent court verdict, you can now snag an Eleanor without remorse.

Eleanor uncertainty

Just a little over a month ago, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit released a 21-page ruling that opened the floodgates for the creation of Eleanor Mustang replicas.

As the widow of the creator of the 1973 Gone in 60 Seconds film, Denice Halicki had initially sued Carroll Shelby Licensing, Inc. in 2008 for alleged copyright infringement due to the creation of some conspicuously Eleanor-like GT500s. 

One of the Most Exclusive Rolex Flexes on the Internet Isn’t Even a Watch

Instead, its existence is discussed (and often mocked) in online communities and verified only through the occasional personal image of green (men’s fragrance) or rose gold (women’s fragrance)- colored bottles, as well as listings on eBay and the like.

Surprisingly, this isn’t Rolex’s first foray into fragrance. While the idea of a luxury watchmaker dabbling in eau de parfum might seem out of left field, vintage bottles of Rolex-branded cologne have been floating around collector circles and online marketplaces for years.

An rendering of a bottle of Rolex Perfume
The women’s scent comes in what looks like a rose gold / light pink bottle that’s shorter and squatter in size compared to the men’s fragrance, at least based on personal images shared online.
Gear Patrol

One of the more well-known examples is Perpetually Yours, a now cheeky, retro-looking fragrance by today’s standards that sometimes surfaces on eBay and in collector shops—complete with packaging that wouldn’t look out of place in a 1970s airport duty-free case.

Whether it was a limited-run promotional item or a quirky side experiment, it suggests that Rolex’s relationship with scent goes back further than you’d expect.

Still, the modern iteration, which consists of two elegant bottled fragrances for men and women branded “Rolex Eau De Parfum,” isn’t something you can buy.

It’s elusive. It’s ultra-limited. And in its own odd way, very on-brand.

I’ve Never Seen Such a Unique Array of Features in a Multi-Tool This Small

However, those are just the beginning of what this thing can do. It also transforms into a smartphone stand, which is super handy for hands-off usage, like if you’re watching YouTube videos. It also has a SIM card ejector tool, a file, a ruler.

Believe it or not, it can also be used as a fire starter. Finally, it has a lanyard hole and even dual tritium slots for a touch of illumination. And it manages all of that while still remaining incredibly small.

Tiny titan

How small is it, you might ask? Well, it measures 3.15 inches long and 0.8 inches wide when collapsed. It also has a depth of just 0.31 inches. Together, that’s not much bigger than a pair of keys stacked atop one another.

Plus, it’s made of titanium. That means it’s also incredibly lightweight and magnificently strong. You’d be hard-pressed to push it to its limits even if you tried.

2026 Ford Bronco New Energy

At launch, Ford’s Bronco New Energy is exclusive to the Chinese market. Unlike the Broncos found here in the States, the model is available with both all-electric and hybrid drivetrains. The EV features a 105-kWh battery that’s claimed to provide around 400 miles of range on a single charge. Assuming that’s not enough for you, however, the EREV (extended range electric vehicle) incorporates a 44-kWh battery alongside a small internal combustion engine — taken together it’s said to offer as much as 800 miles of driving.

Donkey Kong Bananza

Nintendo’s latest console, the Switch 2, might have its first smash hit in Donkey Kong Bananza. Unlike the console’s launch title, Mario Kart World, this one has been released to rave reviews, with journalists and fans alike citing its exceptional combination of fun and originality — the two biggest value propositions Nintendo has to offer, especially when compared to the tech dominance of Sony and Microsoft. This could be the biggest release for the gaming brand since Breath of the Wild, and it might just usher in a new golden era of Nintendo games.

Louis Erard La Petite Seconde x 75th Anniversary Seddiqi

Swiss independent brand Louis Erard has teamed up with Dubai-based jeweler Ahmed Seddiqi for this special version of the former’s La Petite Seconde dress watch that honors the latter’s 75th anniversary. The watch combines the model’s standard Art Deco design with Dubai’s more contemporary landscape to create a unique design language the brand has dubbed “Neo-Deco.” The copper dial features an attractive mix of finishes, making it quite dynamic, and the usual Arabic indices have been swapped for Hindi ones (Dubai has a large South Asian ex-pat population who speak Hindi). Most notably, the hour and minute hands have been shaped to resemble Dubai’s famous Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. Limited to 75 pieces, the watch retails for AED 11,900 (~$3,240).

StellarEQ Guide Mid Grid Hood

The venerated Swedish outdoor apparel brand says that thanks largely to Italian-milled Tecnopile grid fleece, this hoodie hits “that elusive sweet spot between insulation and ventilation,” essentially splitting the difference between a base layer and a mid-layer. Outfitted with thumb loops, laser-cut cuffs and a generous Napoleon pocket, it should be perfect for activities like trail running and hiking, not to mention chilly evenings/early mornings around camp. Low-profile enough to fit under a helmet and a shell, it can also tackle backcountry skiing/splitboarding expeditions come winter.

Todd Snyder has made plenty of loafers in collaboration with other brands, but this is the first in-house pair. It displays the American designer’s impeccable attention to detail with features like a full rubber outsole, a wood stack heel, and “beef-roll” stitching on the strap. It’s handmade in Italy from a creamy suede inspired by Alden’s coveted Milkshake suede, along with a chocolate brown suede with a black sole.

Anker Nano 7-in-1 Charging Station

Anker’s Nano Charging Station plugs into the wall and is capable of distributing 100 watts of power, allowing it to charge four devices simultaneously. It features USB-C and USB-A ports on its side, as well as three AC outlets on the back. However, the most notable feature is its two retractable USB-C cables, which can extend up to 2.3 feet in length. It also features a 1.3-inch LCD display that displays charging information and indicates which ports/outlets are in use.

Crocs’ New Grippy Ultralight Clog Is the Perfect Aprés Hike Campsite Footwear

In 2004, when Idiocracy was being made, the costume and prop team picked very specific shoes for every character in the flick to wear. The thought was twofold: they were inexpensive and ugly. The filmmakers even cited that they thought they were too “horrible” ever to become popular.

Believe it or not, those shoes were Crocs. Since then, these foam clogs have exploded in popularity and have become staples of the fashion industry.

Now, they’re turning the next page with the Crocs Echo RO Clog. This innovation combines the classic mule-style foam clog with sneaker tech to make them way more outdoor-friendly. They might just be the perfect camp slides.

The rubber meets the road

Typically, Crocs are made with a material the brand calls Croslite. While it’s technically proprietary, it’s a type of EVA foam — a common polymer employed frequently in contemporary footwear.

For the most part, the Echo RO Clogs are still made from this ultralight, cushy, soft material. They also retain a LiteRide cushioned footbed, ventilation holes and the signature back strap.

This Tiny Tool Could Be a Game-Changing Gear-Hauling Hack for EDC and the Outdoors

When secured, this rare-earth magnet quick-release keychain can support up to 200 pounds, far exceeding the capacity of most others. However, the pin release also makes unclipping it incredibly easy and convenient without sacrificing security.

While the Magno-Link could be used simply to add some convenience and utility to your keychain, it could also feasibly support heavy outdoor gear, like a cutting tool, flashlight or even a cast-iron pan, that you want to attach to a backpack. That increases its utility tenfold.

Spoiled for choice

Technically, this is the V2 edition of the Magno-Link. As such, the brand has made a variety of improvements and added some options.

For instance, you can get it in several anodizations, including green, purple, navy blue and more. Other materials, like brass, are also available. For reference, the standard version is titanium.

Omega’s New Seamaster Diver Mimics One of the Most Coveted Speedmasters

Like its predecessors, this new Seamaster Diver 300M is powered by a METAS Master Chronometer-certified caliber 8806 automatic movement with a 55-hour power reserve.

While the two base strap options look great, if I were dropping $6,500 on this beautiful watch, I would spare an additional $190 to get Omega’s black and orange nylon NATO strap.

It brings the look even closer to the Speedmaster “Ultraman,” which came on a similar strap, and creates the best-looking version of this watch, in my opinion.

Following in the wake of two precious metal-laden references with prices that topped five figures, it is nice to see a more approachable and pragmatic Seamaster Diver 300M.

Last year, my colleague Johnny Brayson correctly predicted that this NTTD-inspired direction was the future of the Seamaster Diver 300M series, and man, the future looks bright.
