Panerai Luminor GMT Power Reserve Ceramica PAM01574

Panerai’s Luminor GMT Power Reserve is already an ideal do-it-all dive watch thanks to its three-day power reserve, 12-hour GMT function, date window and 300m water resistance, but this version makes the watch even more capable by swapping out its usual stainless steel 44mm case for one made of black ceramic. The hard-wearing material is nearly impervious to scratches, making this legendarily tough tool watch even tougher. Juxtaposing the matte-black case is a gorgeous blue sunray sandwich dial paired with bright-white Super-LumiNova, bringing some unexpected beauty to the rugged watch.

Heimplanet The Cave XL Neo Black

Heimplanet’s innovative blow-up tent, the Cave XL, takes inspiration from the Japanese concept of Seijaku (meaning “active calm”) with a blacked-out colorway that’s free of distractions. It’s big enough to sleep three people, yet it packs down to the size of a 30-liter pack. It’s available for €1,000 — about $1,104 USD.

Dan Clark Noire X

Dan Clark’s Noire X is the California hi-fi manufacturer’s closed-back hi-fi headphones with planar magnetic drivers. They cost $1,000, making them one of the brand’s more affordable audiophile-grade cans, but they borrow tuning technologies from its higher-end Stealth (closed-back) and Expanse (open-back) models. Additionally, they have a gorgeous all-black design with high-quality materials, and they come with numerous cable terminations (including 6.3mm and 3.5mm, or balanced 4.4mm and 4-pin XLR) that allow them to work with various sources.

Ball and Buck x Schott NYC Leather Jacket

Ball and Buck, a revered American outdoors and hunting apparel brand, has teamed up with Schott to reimagine the iconic Perfecto Cafe Racer, leaning toward classic shooting jackets. The jacket, produced in Schott’s New Jersey factory, is made with brown pebbled waxed cowhide, has solid brass hardware, has double buckle waist cinches on each side, is lined with Ball and Buck’s signature plaid and has a perforated “B&B” along the inner zipper placket. It launches on April 16 with a party at Schott’s New York City flagship store and will be available online the next day.

6D Alterra Full-Face Enduro Helmet

Certified for both downhill and e-bike use, this 710-gram brain bucket is one of the most feature-loaded lightweight options you’ll ever find, highlighted by 6D’s patented Omni-Directional Suspension, MIPS-like tech that softens the blow during low-, mid- and high-velocity impacts both linear and angular. The Alterra also boasts an in-molded carbon-fiber chin bar and carbon internal roll cage, strategic venting and a polycarbonate shell with a multi-impact EPP inner liner and an EPS outer liner. Boosting its user-friendliness are a three-position adjustable visor, goggle-compatible under-visor storage and magnet-based Fidlock closure system.
Aston Martin x Bowmore ARC-54 WhiskyBowmore

Aston Martin x Bowmore ARC-54 Whisky

The final release in Aston Martin and Bowmore’s collaborative ARC series, this Islay single malt scotch whisky was distilled 54 years ago, in 1968, and was aged in a 2nd Fill European Oak Sherry Butt and 3rd Fill American Oak Hogshead. However, the 61.8% European Oak and 38.2% American Oak aged blended spirit is only half the story. Along with the whisky itself, the individually handcrafted glass decanter — inspired by Aston Martin’s Valkyrie Hypercar — is a work of art in its own right that evokes the “movement of air” in a physical form.
