Today in Gear: Your Gear World Briefing

Still believe in sunken treasure? Well one Australian surfer certainly does. The surfer, Matt Cuddihy, recently spent an afternoon snorkeling off the beach of Noosa when he saw something tucked beneath the sand. He dove deeper and found seven surfboard fins wedged between several rocks, and upon closer inspection: a Rolex Submariner. The watch was caught under another rock and partially frosted over from the sand. Upon further inspection, it was revealed to be a Submariner ref. 5513, and yes, it still runs.

Today we’re taking a look at the Nothing Phone 2, 2024 Polestar 2 and a surprisingly stylish Croc. This is Today in Gear.

Nothing Plans to Reveal the New Phone 2

Nothing

Nothing, known for straight-to-point (if not exceptionally ‘hyped’) electronics, is gearing up to release the new ‘Phone 2.’ Fans can finally count on a full reveal at the ‘Nothing Phone 2 launch event,’ which will take place on July 11 at 11a EST. Nothing plans to livestream the event from its official website, and fans have plenty of reason to be excited — because this will mark the first Nothing phone available on U.S. soil.

Look At This Strange Watch

MB&F

The HM8 Mark 2 (~$80,304), comes in two colorways: green and white. Each are powered by 30 jewels and an in-house automatic movement that features a 22K gold automatic winding rotor (visible under the sapphire crystal cover). MB&F calls the watch its ‘most technologically evolved drivers’ watch to date,’ and has covered the piece in Grade Five titanium.

Crocs Released … Something Stylish

Crocs

The New ‘Dylan Clog’ ($55) was designed to ‘mimic’ the look of genuine, full-grain leather mules. Available in four colors, (Black, White, Espresso and Cognac) the shoes are crafted from a single piece of Croslite for added durability. They’re lightweight, flexible and might be the cozy camp and errand shoe you’ve been looking for.

A Chic Knife for the New Collector

CRKT

Whether you bring this home as your first knife, or just your latest score, it’s sure to quickly become your favorite. The LCK + Liner Lock ($175) boasts a CPM S35VN steel blade that deploys quickly — and smoothly — thanks to a tiny flipper and IKBS ball bearing. Meanwhile, a carbon fiber handle keeps the piece lightweight and a deep carry clip allows the knife to quietly sink into your pocket.
