Timex-Journal-standard-Camper-Watch-2

It’s hard to find a watch this beautiful and be able to actually afford it. Journal Standard teamed up with Timex to take the company’s classic Camper and infuse it with a little bit of extra style. Complete with a Journal Standard leather band (choose from Black, Brown or a really unique Navy/Aqua) the Timex x Journal Standard Camper is both retro and modern at the same time. Each comes with a nylon watch band if you want to swap out the leather one at any time and slapping one on your wrist won’t leave your wallet crying.

Feit Leather Bund Watch Strap

Posted on September 22, 2012 | Leave a comment

The Bund Strap watchband was first used by WWII pilots because of its insulating properties. The leather band would ensure that the watch face would not freeze or burn a pilot’s wrist as they were exposed to extreme conditions. Later the first man to venture into space – Yuri Gagarin – wore his watch on a Bund Strap. Perhaps its most celebrated wearer was Paul Newman whose signature Rolex Daytona was always worn on a Bund Strap.

The FEIT Bund Strap is classic and simple and is made from the same vegetable leather we use for our shoes. This leather is dyed with only natural ingredients and isn’t treated with any heavy metals. It contains none of the chrome found in most leathers and is, therefore, much better for your skin.

TSOVET SVT-PX87 Watch

Posted on September 18, 2012 | Leave a comment

TSOVET is continually a step beyond what we thought was possible in the world of watches–especially when you consider their affordable price tags. Their latest creation, the SVT-PX87, has a case and bezel made of a composite material called NyPxCEL. We have no idea what that is, but we can tell you what it does. It makes the SVT-PX87 water resistant to 200M, shock absorbent and impact resistant. All of that, coupled with the fact the band isrubber, means you can actually wear your watch while you do stuff, without constantly worrying about cracking the face and having to invest in a new time keeping device. As is always the case with TSOVET, it also looks damn good. Available here from November

If you haven’t heard already, legendary director and ocean explorer James Cameron plans to explore the depths of the Challenger Deep of the Marianas Trench, a feat that hasn’t been achieved for more than 50 years. For this expedition Rolex is equipping Cameron with a special version of the Sea-Dweller called the “Deepsea Challenge” which is rated to 12,000 meteres/39,370 ft, a depth rating that is beyond the currently known recorded depths of the Marianas Trench.
