Dometic might come across as an up-and-coming outdoor brand, following the rise of its electric coolers. That is, until you realize just how big it is.
The company, which now owns Igloo, records annual sales north of $2 billion, with its hand in everything from camp lights to RV toilets.
Moving forward, that reach will also extend to bags.
With the launch of its Unrestricted bag collection, Dometic doesn’t just want to be an adventure brand. It wants to be an everyday brand.Dometic
Cooler or carry-all?
The Dometic Unrestricted collection is a new series of EDC and adventure bags that includes two totes, a backpack and a duffel.
What’s more, each piece doubles as a cooler, with recycled PrimaLoft Gold insulation that adds another layer of protection from the elements for sensitive gear like cameras and computers.
July 16, 2025 / Comments Off on A Major Outdoor Brand Just Went All In on Rugged EDC Bags
In the world of business, there’s a concept called the Law of Diminishing Returns. Basically, the idea is that there’s a point where increasing or improving a particular aspect of a product or service results in fewer and fewer sales, profits and so on.
In the world of product design, a similar thing can happen. For instance, a few years ago, Dyneema — a synthetic fabric roughly 10-15 times stronger than steel by weight — was all the rage. However, it got to a point where it didn’t have anywhere else to go — it wasn’t being improved or innovated upon — so interest has somewhat waned.
Sadly, the innovation cannot be seen with the naked eye. Luckily, these bags still look great.Hyperlite Mountain Gear
The wizardry’s in the weave
While it would be a stretch to call it Mythril-like (the elven chainmail Frodo and Bilbo wear in The Lord of the Rings books), Dyneema is, by all accounts, a pretty marvelous synthetic fabric. As mentioned, it boasts around 10-15 times the strength of steel by weight.
The problem with improving this fabric is that, to add additional durability, you typically have to add more weight. However, its lightness is also one of its superpowers, so making it heavier detracts from its value.

Reebok has a very long history of making iconic sneakers, most of which can be traced back to the 1980s. Yet, for all its big swings — everything from its now-legendary Alien Stompers from Aliens to its ongoing partnership with Angel Reese — nothing really tops the brand’s Club C 85s.
Back to the Future‘s Marty McFly wore Nike Bruins, but I think he would have happily swapped them for these Reeboks.Madewell
Retro done right
Despite their name, Reebok’s Club C 85s actually didn’t come out until 1987. They were based on a sneaker called the Revenge Plus, a follow-up to the original Revenge, before being retooled as the Club Champion, which was eventually shortened to the Club C.
Since their launch, these sneakers have largely remained the same, which is very much a good thing. Even when Reebok’s popularity has ebbed and flowed, these shoes have remained a constant in the fashion and streetwear worlds.
That rings true for this Madewell edition, too. Thankfully, the iconic silhouette and many of the details, like the Reebok logo window with the Union Jack flag, remain. Yet there are subtle touches that help it stand out.

The Y-3 Fall/Winter 25 collection takes a monochromatic brush to some Adidas icons. Plus, a stunning luxury travel watch gets more wearable, a retro soccer kit-inspired golf collection and more.

Welcome to “Today in Gear,” your daily snapshot of the most important releases in style, watches, tech, motoring, fitness, home and the outdoors.
Adidas’s longstanding collaboration with Yohji Yamamoto may stretch back over two decades, but it’s shown few signs of slowing down. The pair’s forthcoming fall and winter collection covers both lifestyle shoes and performance runners, with the Adizero Adio Pro 4 and Adios 9 in the latter camp both adopting new colorways anchored by high-contrast stripes resembling brushstrokes.
Arnold & Son
Arnold & Son Globetrotter 42 Steel
Arnold & Son’s Globetrotter has long been one of the best high-end worldtimers on the market; however, at 45mm, it was too large for many wearers. This version of the head-turning watch places its signature rotating 3D globe in the center of a smaller 42mm stainless steel case that also brings the thickness down from 17.26mm to 15.1mm. In addition to the more wearable size, the watch also makes a change to the dial, adding 12 reference cities around the globe that make it easier to tell the time around the world at a glance while also bringing better balance to the dial. This green version, along with a silver and blue style, is limited to 88 pieces.
Reigning Champ
Puma x Reigning Champ Mattr Polo
Puma Golf teamed up with Reigning Champ for a capsule collection of golf gear inspired by 1970s soccer apparel. The collection blends a Puma sneaker in two colors with Reigning Champ apparel like a tracksuit, quarter-zip, jersey, polo, and hats. The star of the show is a polo modeled after a goalkeeper jersey with a retro jacquard pattern.
Sony
Sony RX1R III
The Sony RX1R III is an updated version of the company’s 2015-released RX1R II premium fixed-lens compact camera. This third-generation model has many of the photo and video capabilities of Sony’s 2019-released a7R IV, as it features the same 61-megapixel full-frame image sensor and Sony’s new-generation Bionz XR and AI image processors. The fixed lens allows users to switch between focal lengths equivalent to 35 mm, 50 mm and 70 mm. And while the body looks quite similar to its predecessor, the RX1R III has been redesigned with new control dials and a fixed rear screen, replacing the tilting one. Notably, the RX1R III costs $5,100, representing a significant increase over the $3,300 price of the RX1R II.
Ombraz
Ombraz Refugio
The brand that pioneered armless sunglasses leans on retro styling for its first truly performance-focused shades. Highlights include aerospace-grade nylon frames, a throwback wraparound design for comprehensive sunlight and glare protection and integrated nose pad risers to decrease fogging, boost airflow and reduce sweat/oil buildup by lifting the frames away from the face. The unisex specs are intentionally non-polarized to preserve depth perception and visual clarity, critical factors during intense outdoor sports.
Aerflo
Aerflo for Hydro Flask
Designed to fit Standard Mouth Hydro Flasks — 18, 21 and 24 ounces — this seemingly simple, clever lid transforms your water bottle into a portable seltzer machine. The lid houses a small CO2 cartridge that, when sealed on the bottle, can add refreshing, sparkling bubbles to up to 68 ounces of liquid. And yes, a single cartridge can be used multiple times. The brand also offers a cartridge exchange program, making this a much more sustainable alternative than other options (like buying single-use bottles and cans).

July 16, 2025 / Comments Off on Adidas’s Ultraluxe Label Turned Its Best Running Shoes Into Style Statements
To pair with that outstanding, classic exterior, the bags also have antique brass hardware — zippers and buckles. However, just because these bags look old-school, that doesn’t mean they’re not built for modern folks. Quite the opposite, in fact.
The Rangefinder comes in a trio of classic colorways, all made from 12-ounce waxed duck canvas.Bradley Mountain
Traditional craft, modern amenities
The fact that these are crossbody packs (or sling bags, as they’re also called) is already evidence that these are contemporary styles, despite their heritage materials. However, their other features also add to that blend.
For instance, the buckles are made from antique brass, as mentioned, but they feature modern tech. Specifically, they offer quick-release action, meaning they can be unclipped swiftly, making the bags more nimble and convenient than they might otherwise be.
They also have some padding built into them to help protect your more sensitive items you might store inside, like your smartphone, camera or even sunglasses. See? contemporary features in a classic package.
July 15, 2025 / Comments Off on An Underdog EDC Brand Combines Agile Modern Bags with Beloved Heritage Materials
The option of the black rubber strap better balances out the look of the very gray GMT — that’s the combo I would go for.Breitling
Speaking of the GMT, its platinum bezel and red gold GMT hand — along with the meteorite dial, of course — add a big dose of luxury to an already luxurious steel sports watch. The gray meteorite dial features a black inner 24-hour bezel for a bit of contrast, but otherwise this is a very monochromatic affair — especially if you opt for the bracelet over the black rubber strap.
Pricing and Availability
Although the Navitimer remains Breitling’s flagship watch, the Chronomat has quietly become the brand’s most versatile player. It’s the glue that holds the brand together; Breitling’s Phil Hartman, if you will.
Both the Chronograph and GMT are attractive, mass-appealing, robust sports watches that have proven to be versatile canvases for those times when Breitling wants to get creative, such as with this new release or with last year’s NFL collab.
These Haaland editions might be the best-looking Chronomats we’ve seen so far. The Chronograph is limited to 250 pieces and is priced at $26,600 on the strap or an eye-popping $47,100 on the bracelet (hey, it’s a lot of gold). The GMT is considerably more attainable, even with the platinum bezel. It’s priced at $10,000 on the strap or $10,350 on the bracelet. All four can be purchased from Breitling’s online boutique.
July 15, 2025 / Comments Off on Did an Unexpected Brand Make the Year’s Best-Looking Chronograph?
The latest in TJB’s Artist Series collaborations, this new set is inspired by surf and skate culture from the ’80s and ’90s. Each piece is imbued with Oblow’s signature flair: vibrant colors and unique characters. The collection includes the brand’s Palmer utility cutting tool, Folsom pocket folder, Gatecliff notebook case, and Cambro valet tray. Plus, there’s a t-shirt with his Moblow Cat printed on it.
Sperry
Sperry x Colbo Authentic Original Boat Shoe
Colbo, a New York City boutique and clothing brand, designed a refined take on Sperry’s iconic Top-Sider boat shoe. A Goodyear-stitched leather outsole and stacked leather heel elevate the look, allowing it to be worn more like a loafer. Sperry’s signature sipping is carved into the leather outsole, and a rubber heel block adds traction. It comes in two shades of aged brown, achieved by washing the leather, and it includes rawhide laces.
Cannondale
Cannondale Moterra 4
The more affordable of two just-announced Moterras (the other being the $6,599 Moterra 3) is a lean, mean alloy-framed machine offering plentiful pedal assistance thanks to Bosch’s Performance Line CX Drive Unit, its most powerful motor yet. A Suntour fork with 160mm (~6.3 inches) of travel, RockShox rear suspension, Cannondale’s DownLow Dropper post and beefy Schwalbe 29×2.4-inch tires help you tackle the gnarliest trails and rock gardens while the swappable 600Wh battery with optional range extender ensure this $5,499 e-beast can churn dirt at least as long as you can. Both bikes will be available in shops and online in August.
Old Grand-Dad
Old Grand-Dad 7-Year-Old Bonded Bourbon 2025
Jim Beam’s budget bourbon brand, Old Grand-Dad, is known for offering a decent whiskey at seriously low prices, but this 2025 release takes things up a few notches. The annual version of the brand’s higher-end (but still affordable) 7-Year-Old Bonded Bourbon went into the barrel in the spring of 2018 and meets all the requirements for a bottled-in-bond whiskey, meaning it’s 100-proof, at least four years old and was produced at a single distillery during one distilling season. The whiskey offers an elevated take on Old Grand-Dad’s classic flavor with caramel and vanilla on the nose, caramel and vanilla with charred oak on the palate, and a long finish full of, you guessed it, more caramel.
Mercedes-Benz
Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake
Mercedes-Benz is calling the CLA Shooting Brake EV its first fully electric estate. It’s the second addition to the brand’s new entry-level family and essentially a version of the new CLA sedan that’s also bigger than the current CLA Shooting Brake, making it a more affordable vehicle to consider alongside Mercedes’ larger EVs. It’ll be available with single and dual-motor powertrains, with the former offering up to 473 miles of range and fast-charging tech that adds nearly 200 miles in 15 minutes. It offers impressive chops for longer drives. Inside, it also features the new MB.OS system and a massive 14-inch “Superscreen” dashboard with the option to add another 14-inch display for passengers. While final pricing hasn’t been announced, expect this to cost above $47,000 in Europe.
Satechi
Satechi OntheGo 67W Slim Wall Charger
This is a GaN wall charger with a slim design, foldable prongs and dual USB-C ports. It’s capable of outputting 67 watts through one port, making it powerful enough to charge a laptop, or 45 watts and 20 watts when using both USB-C ports. It features a soft-touch exterior, which the brand claims gives it a “premium feel.” And it’s available in three color finishes: Black, Sand or Desert Rose.

July 15, 2025 / Comments Off on This Stunning EDC Collection Draws from Vintage Skate and Surf Culture
In October of last year, Echo/Neutra broke through with its first true blockbuster watch. Previously, the Italian microbrand, co-founded in 2018 by a designer and aerospace engineer, was relatively little-known even among hardcore enthusiasts and collectors.
The dress watch looks like nothing else on the market. Its dial is classically styled with an Art Deco-inspired minute track, a Breguet hour hand and a small seconds display. But that familiar dial is housed in a contemporary sharp-angled case made of dark-gray Grade 5 titanium with a sandblasted finish.
Debuting last year with a gray or black dial, the unique Rivanera put Echo/Neutra on the map in a big way.Echo/Neutra
The Rivanera was originally released with a black or gray dial that aesthetically matches the modernity of the case, but now Echo/Neutra has launched a third version of the watch that better illustrates its unique contrast of design styles.
White Hot
The hottest affordable titanium watch on the market now comes with a white dial. Despite their classic styling, the gray and black dials of the two previous Rivanera references still felt pretty contemporary, with their dark colors matching the stealthy vibes of the case.
But the new white dial offers up a completely different visual experience. It leans harder into classic styles with its stark-white finish, and wouldn’t look out of place on a century-old Cartier Tank. Once paired with the Rivanera’s dark and brutalist sandblasted case, we’re left with a dress watch that’s equal parts classic and contemporary; a beautiful meditation on juxtaposition.

The new R 12s retain the classic big round LED headlight. The Option 19 edition also gets round bar-end mirrors.BMW Motorcycles
One highlight is the Rock and Roll riding modes, a charming bit of branding that lets you lean into twisties like a racer (with the former) or reliably rumble down the highway (with the latter).
The seat height of 29.7 inches, while not as low as what you’ll find on, say, an Indian Scout or Harley Breakout, remains welcoming, as do handlebar and footrest ergos aimed at a relaxed riding position.
Even with its classic appearance, the bike is quietly optimized for modern times, courtesy of such features as ABS Pro and Dynamic Traction Control.
Both bobber-style and two-up saddles are available, depending on whether you prefer to ride solo or with a passenger.BMW Motorcycles
The R 12 also boasts optional ConnectedRide control, complete with a smartphone holder, letting you pair up to navigate the open road.
Because as much fun as it is to get lost on a bike like this one, eventually you’ve gotta ride home.

Campfire Audio is an American hi-fi manufacturer that specializes in in-ear monitors (IEMs) and earphones for musicians and audiophiles. Its offerings start at a few hundred bucks, like its entry-level Axion ($249), and can go up to several thousand, like its flagship Trifecta ($3,300).
Now, the Portland-based audio maker has released a portable DAC and headphone amplifier, designed to elevate the sound of its in-ear monitors — or any wired headphones — when you’re listening from a laptop or smartphone.
Campfire Audio Relay DAC/Amp
Campfire Audio’s Relay has two ultra-low-noise, high-output headphone jacks and promises to work with a wide variety of headphones. Campfire Audio
Analog warmth
The Relay is a portable headphone DAC/amplifier that plugs into your smartphone, laptop or tablet via a USB-C cable. It features dual headphone jacks, one 3.5mm (single-ended) and one 4.4mm (balanced), so it can work with a wide variety of wired headphones.
It’s powered by an AKM SEQ 4493 DAC chip, which Campfire Audio says provides “a high-level of technical performance and overall sonic improvements, but also features a unique analog tonality, imparting a sense of emotional engagement and warmth that brings the listener a deeper sense of musical connection.”
The Relay is compatible with Mac and Windows PCs, as well as iPhone (USB-C models) and Android smartphones. Campfire Audio

The Spezial is the latest Adidas shoe to get the “Made in Germany” bump.End. Clothing
Spezial treatment
To be clear, noting its place of manufacture is more than a mere matter of provenance.
Like New Balance’s “Made in USA” and “Made in UK” programs, “Made in Germany” represents Adidas’s antidote to the mass-produced shoes it manufactures overseas.
As such, they usually boast higher-quality leathers and superior detailing, often accomplished by hand at the company’s factory in Herzogenaurach, Germany.
“Made in Germany” is more than an origin story. Adidas shoes with that designation are made to a higher standard and usually feature fancier leathers.End. Clothing
The Spezial Made in Germany sneakers are no exception.
The pair features upgraded suede across the upper, paired with a plush leather collar and more precise stitching than you’ll encounter on the Samba or even inline Spezial.
The Spezial Made in Germany comes with a collectible hang tag.End. ClothingThe gum sole has become a signature treatment of the Samba. However, it started with the Spezial, a shoe original designed for indoor sports like handball.End. Clothing
What’s more, Adidas opted to endow this release with a simple blue-and-white colorway that will undoubtedly earn it a place in the history book as one of the brand’s best efforts on an unsung model.
The blue-and-white colorway keeps the release approachable, even if the price is steep.End. Clothing
Availability and pricing
The Adidas Spezial Made in Germany is not yet available on the brand’s official website.
But shoppers can get a leg up by heading over to British retailer End. Clothing, which already has the shoe in stock for a price of $235 — less than the cost of the Superstar Made in Germany from May.

That’s monstrous by any measure, but pack that into this little four-door and you’ve got yourself a serious wolf in sheep’s clothing. It also pumps out 567.9 ft-lb of torque. Together with its horsepower, that means it can hit 0-62 mph in a blistering 3.2 seconds and max out at just under 160 mph.
That quickness puts it on par with vehicles like the BMW M3 Competition Sedan, Aston Martin Vantage, and Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. It’s unclear what, if anything, the Hyundai engineers were smoking when they proposed this car, but I’m not going to complain about it.
Get used to seeing this thing from behind. It can leave most other production sedans in the dust.Hyundai
If looks could thrill
While the performance numbers are enough to get excited about, even for those still skeptical of EVs (but, like, why?), they’re far from the only things this car has going for it. For instance, the Ioniq 6 Ns looks will do much of the heavy lifting in getting people interested.
For starters, it’s not an SUV. In a world where more and more cars are going the way of the dodo in favor of more bulbous sport utility vehicles — and some, like the Mustang, even metamorphizing — that scores it major points. It doesn’t hurt that this car has pleasing curves, culminating in a sleek fastback that toes the line between sedan and hot hatch.

Zinski’s passion for watches extends beyond aesthetic design. He also runs a watch repair shop, with a dedicated section on the Typsim website, and ensures his creations ship out in top working order.
Though the Sellita movements don’t come with a COSC chronometer certification, which watch brands can opt for at an added expense, Typsim regulates each one to -2/+2 seconds per day.
As if all that wasn’t enough to ensnare every vintage dive watch fan, the 100M comes on a NATO strap from Phoenix, the UK-based manufacturer who famously supplies the Ministry of Defense.
The case back is decorated with radial brushing and no superfluous detailing. Typsim
With the amount of historically accurate detailing that went into the 100M, not to mention the impeccable movement powering it, it is a wonder that it is priced under $1,000.
This is as close to landing a mint condition 1960s skin diver as you can get a once-in-a-lifetime attic find or inventing a time machine.

At the end of 2022, Rolex first announced its Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program, meaning the world’s bestselling watch brand would finally be able to exert some direct control over its highly inflated secondary market by certifying used watches sold by its CPO partners.
Opinions varied on what effect the program would have on used Rolex prices, and three years on, the results remain a mixed bag. But one thing has become clear thanks to a new report: Not all Rolex CPO dealers are equal when it comes to pricing.
Although every Rolex Certified Pre-Owned watch undergoes the same certification process through Rolex, a new report shows there is a wide disparity in pricing between different retail partners, as Rolex allows independent retailers to set their own prices.
While all Rolex CPO watches undergo the same certification and come with the same guarantee, pricing between retailers differs greatly.Rolex
Come to find out, one retailer, in particular, is seriously undercutting the competition by offering considerably lower certified-used Rolex prices than its rivals.
Where to Get the Best Deal on a Certified Pre-Owned Rolex
If you don’t care about your used Rolex being certified, then the cheapest way to get a Rolex is still to buy one from an independent seller on a forum like Reddit’s r/watchexchange, Watchuseek or Rolex Forums.
But that’s a risky proposition for many prospective buyers, and a Certified Pre-Owned watch — which undergoes authentication and servicing by Rolex prior to the sale and comes with a two-year guarantee from the brand — is certainly the most secure way to buy a secondhand Rolex with confidence.

Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of attending Harley-Davidson Homecoming, the brand’s annual celebration of music, motorcycle culture and H-D’s hometown of Milwaukee.
Highlights included a sneak peek at the Product Development Center, an exclusive tour of the H-D Museum, seeing Chris Stapleton perform and joining a bunch of badass female bikers (including Karen Davidson) for the Cancer Research Institute-supporting Women’s Ride.
The street version of LiveWire’s new prototype looks unlike anything else the brand has put out so far.LiveWire
However, the biggest surprise of the festival for me was seeing what Harley’s electric sub-brand, LiveWire, has been working on, which is a dramatic departure from everything else they’ve built.
Still in development, this new electric platform would not only be super affordable but especially exciting and interesting, too. Here’s why.
Bold new direction
See, up till now, LiveWire has been pretty focused on replicating gas-powered bikes in electric form.
On the surface, that makes sense, and what they’ve managed to produce so far with bikes like the Del Mar and Mulholland has been impressive.

FiiO has integrated the SP5 with a few unique features catered towards audiophiles and music engineers.
On the back of each speaker, there’s a 3-band EQ switch that allows you to adjust its treble, bass, and low bass based on the speaker’s location; for example, this allows you to dial down the bass of the speaker if it’s located too close to a wall.
For further tweaking, you can access 10-band EQ via the company’s companion app (iOS and Android compatible).
The FiiO SP5 speaker system will be available in September 2025. FiiO
Modern versatility
The SP5 has a variety of inputs (AUX, RCA, XLR, and USB-C) and can accept analog and digital sources. This allows you to plug the speakers directly into your computer or larger hi-fi system.
Additionally, each of these inputs is supported by independent volume memory. This means you can customize the sound settings for each input, and the system will remember them, automatically switching to those settings when that input is being used.
And finally, the FiiO SP5 has built-in Bluetooth and can stream high-resolution audio thanks to support for LDAC and aptX Adaptive codecs.

Furthermore, it weighs just four ounces — about the same as a golf ball. So, not only does it squeeze down tight, but it also adds virtually no extra weight to whatever you pack it in.
While other, similar bags might offer the same weight savings, most aren’t designed to pack down so tightly. As this one is, it means it isn’t going to get creased or damaged in transit. You can collapse it and open it back up as often as you need.
The ReFraction takes up about as much space as a pair of tube socks.Matador
Made for EDC
Thankfully, the ReFraction’s packability doesn’t sacrifice its usefulness. In expanded mode, it is just as capable as other, similar bags, and it even excels in some ways.
It features a 100D nylon exterior with a PU waterproof coating, making it weatherproof. That material is mated to PU-coated YKK zippers to keep any liquids from seeping in.

Buck Mason is making a strong case for the Best American-made T-shirt. This tubular knit version of its 5-ounce Toughknit Tee is milled from domestically grown cotton in a brand-owned factory in Pennsylvania, then cut and sewn in Los Angeles. Tubular knit tees are cut from cylindrical-shaped fabric, creating a more natural fit with no side seams. Buck Mason’s Toughknit fabric has a perfectly balanced weight and a soft texture only achievable with long-staple cotton. It comes in a 2-pack and is available in white or black.
Vulcain
Vulcain Skindiver Nautique GMT Purple
Vulcain’s Skindiver Nautique GMT is about as vintage-looking as a modern watch gets thanks to its throwback styling, diminutive case size and lobster-style bracelet. Yet it remains a thoroughly contemporary watch from a specs standpoint, with features that include a ceramic bi-directional bezel, a sapphire crystal and an exhibition caseback. This limited-edition version of the watch introduces a bit of aesthetic modernity to the line to match the specs, thanks to a deep purple dial complemented by stark-white lume on the hands and indices. Limited to just 100 pieces, it retails for $2,170 on a Tropic-style rubber strap or $2,450 on the bracelet.
Omius
Omius Cap With Cooling Pieces
Omius made, ahem, headlines in France last summer when its unique cooling headbands were spotted on the heads of Olympic marathon medal winners, including women’s champ Sifan Hassan. While research indicates its effects may be more perceived than actual, its appeal may increase with a new form factor that makes it look a bit less, well, weird. Available in small and large, black and white, the Omius Cap features a silicone grid that holds the 20 patented cooling pieces against your skin for maximum impact.

In celebration of the upcoming release of Happy Gilmore 2, the long-awaited follow-up to one of Adam Sandler’s best flicks, Odyssey, Callaway Golf’s putter brand, has launched its Hockey Stick Putter.

Fleetwood Mac 50th Anniversary Edition Album (Vinyl and Blu-ray)
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of its original release, Fleetwood Mac has introduced a remastered version of its famed self-titled album. There are two vinyl purchasing options, one of which comes with two additional 7-inch singles records (with tracks “Rhiannon,” “Over My Head,” “Say You Love Me” and “Blue Letter”). Maybe most interestingly, it also released a Blu-ray version of the album that has been mixed for Dolby Atmos, so fans and modern physical media lovers can experience the album in a new, more immersive way.

July 14, 2025 / Comments Off on Did This American-Made Brand Just Debut Its Best T-Shirt Ever?
From afar, the watch industry may seem unhurried. But every passing day brings about new timepieces from brands big, small, new and old.
Below, find about a dozen new releases from the likes of Casio, Citizen and others. Together, they show an industry that never stops ticking — and, centuries later, can still find the time to surprise you.
Best New Gear: This article is part of an ongoing series collecting the most important new watches, gadgets, pocket knives and more. Catch up on other releases.
Bulgari
Bulgari Octo Finissimo Marble Tourbillon
For Only Watch 2023, Bulgari crafted an Octo Finissimo Tourbillon watch coated entirely in green marble, with a thin layer of the natural stone completely covering the watch’s case, dial and bracelet. For 2025, Bulgari has followed up that one-off with a watch that’s slightly more attainable. This time around, the green marble appears only on the dial — a more practical application that still brings plenty of unique character and beauty to the watch. The case is crafted from 18K yellow gold, while green alligator leather is used for the strap. Beating away inside is the remarkable BVL 268 Calibre, which at one time was the world’s thinnest tourbillon movement at just 1.95mm thick. The watch is priced at €140,500, which converts to around $164,000 as of this writing.
Citizen
Citizen Promaster Dive 41mm
Citizen’s Promaster Dive collection has always been sporty and optimized for the water, but the new 41mm design has a more classic look that lends itself to year-round daily wear. At 41mm, it is the smallest case in the men’s line and comes on a timeless three-link steel bracelet. It runs on an Eco-Drive quartz and has a 200m water resistance, so it is still a true dive watch.
Certina
Certina DS-X GMT
Certina’s take on a robust travel watch might just be the ultimate affordable GMT. Powered by an ETA quartz movement equipped with Heavy Drive and protected by Certina’s DS Concept Extreme Shock Resistance system, the watch can take a serious beating. And with a dual-function GMT/compass bezel and 200m of water resistance, it’s built to handle nearly any adventure.
Hublot
Hublot Classic Fusion Essential Taupe
The 2025 follow-up to Hublot’s Classic Fusion Essential Grey from 2024, this monochrome watch pairs a taupe sunray dial with a matching fabric and rubber strap for a look that’s equal parts minimalist and sporty.
