Today in Gear: Panerai Makes Its Classic Submersible Dive Watch Even Tougher, Canned Coffee That Doesn’t Suck & More

Today in Gear is our daily roundup of all the latest product announcements, drops and deals. Comments or concerns? We’d love to hear from you at [email protected].

Panerai makes some of the toughest luxury watches in the game, timepieces that can handle the pressure of deep ocean dives and never miss a beat. But recently the brand upped the ante by putting out the toughest option you can get: the Submersible BMG-TECH™. That isn’t to say that this 47mm timepiece is any less refined or luxurious than you would expect from such a vaunted Italian watchmaker. This is partly because the new measure of ruggedness comes from something you can’t see — this is the first mechanical watch featuring a case made of BMG-TECH™, a bulk metallic glass with a disordered atomic structure. This means the watch is harder and lighter than steel while also maintaining high corrosion resistance so it can keep taking hard knocks for a long, long time. The 47mm Submersible BMG-TECH™ also boasts Incabloc anti-shock movement protection and a deep blue dial with bright, distinctive luminous indices. As reassuring to look at as it is to use in the water, this Panerai is a new fixture in the world of dive watches that’s more than eager to earn the status of a legend.

Huge Sale On Top-of-the-Line Motorcycle Helmets
Save up to 50%: Right now over at Revzilla, there’s an insane sale on top-of-the-line motorcycle helmets. You can save up to $700 on select top-tier motorcycle helmets from brands like AGV, Bell and Schuberth.

Red Wing Heritage Moc Toe Boots
Save 36%: When you’re presented with the chance to save on Red Wing Heritage boots, you’d be foolish to pass it up. The brand’s boots are rarely on sale and when they are, sizes are often limited. But now at Nordstrom Rack, you can save up to 36 percent on a pair of classic Red Wing Heritage Moc-Toe boots available in sizes 7 to 11. This American-made style features Brown Boomer leather from the S.B. Foot Tanning Company in Minnesota and a non-marking outsole. What are you waiting for? — John Zientek

Patagonia Black Hole Duffel
Save 30%: If you’ve never heard of Patagonia’s Black Hole duffel bags, you’ve likely spotted one in an airport, foreign train station or strapped to the roof of an overlander. Patagonia built the weather-resistant and sturdy bags to last decades with a rugged TPU-laminated ripstop nylon. They also include removable backpack straps that make carrying one a breeze, even when it’s fully loaded.

The 60-liter version is arguably the most versatile size; it’s big enough to pack everything you’ll need for a weekend or a week, and it still fits into the overhead bins on planes. We’ve put this bag through its paces on all kinds of adventures, from a ski weekend in Vermont to a month-long trip to Ecuador. It’s one of the best rugged duffel bags available, and right now it’s also 30 percent off at Backcountry in nearly every volume.

And, if you need something even easier to carry than a backpack strap-equipped duffel, Patagonia thought to use its Black Hole construction to make a wheeled suitcase. It comes with a 70-liter capacity that you can pack to the brim without worrying whether you’ll be able to get all your gear from A to B. This bag is also 30 percent off. — Tanner Bowden

Mountain Hardwear StretchDown Hooded Jacket
Save $180: Sure, it’s hot out, and the last thing on your mind is a high-performance snow jacket. But as we’ve noted before, summer is a great time to score amazing deals on winter gear. Case in point: Mountain Hardwear’s StretchDown Hooded Jacket, currently on sale for $120, 60 percent off its $300 regular price. Boasting 750-fill RDS certified down, permanent water repellency and a motion-freeing stretch-knit fabric, it’s perfect for, well, six months from now. But the price? That’s perfect right this moment. — Tanner Bowden

Citizen Eco-Drive Chronograph
Save 50%: Citizen’s Eco-Drive watches feature quartz movements that are powered by light and don’t require battery changes — perfect for summer adventuring and travel. The AT0200-05E features a 3-register chronograph and date display built into a 40mm case with mineral crystal, luminous hands and 100m of water resistance. It also ships on a green canvas two-piece strap that lends a cool military look. Right now, you can take half off the $250 MSRP, for a price of just $125. — Oren Hartov

Fender Special Edition Standard Jaguar Guitar
Save $100: If you’re looking to add this unique guitar to your arsenal, head over to Guitar Center today — currently you can save $100 on a Fender Special Edition Standard Jaguar guitar. The instrument comes in a Surf Pearl finish (an homage to the Jaguar’s early days) and has an alder body, a 22-fret maple neck and a Pau Ferro fingerboard. Unlike some of the single-coil models produced a half-century ago, this guitar has two humbucking pickups and a modern C shape neck.

Normally $600, this guitar now costs $500 and includes free shipping. If that’s within your budget, act fast — this sale ends in two days. — John Zientek

The bag holds up to three weeks of dirty laundry and smoothly rolls over the pot-holed roads and sidewalks of New York City. It’s surprisingly lightweight, even when packed to its 110-liter capacity. The bag’s clamshell design opens right down the middle with a hard side and a soft side, making it ideal for plane travel. If the bold purple print isn’t quite your style, there are seven other more muted options. Shop the sale today and use code TAKE20JUNE at checkout to get 20 percent off one item. Bonus: If you don’t need a new suitcase, there is a plethora of camping and climbing gear that’s also on sale. — Meg Lappe
