The Master of Minimalist Watches Just Refined an Affordable Classic

Arguably Nomos’s best modern dress watch, the Minimatik, has seen a trio of references added to its lineup. While the watches are all still powered by the same in-house DUW 3001 Neomatic auto movement, they have seen some significant changes, the most notable of which is their size. Whereas the originals in the series are 35.5mm, this trio is larger at 39.5mm. There are also more subtle changes, like a redesigned case with more sculpted lugs and a gold-lined date window at the 3 o’clock position.

What happens when two iconic American heritage brands team up? When it’s this particular pair, a bunch of moto-inspired workwear, of course. With the goal of transitioning smoothly from the workshop to the road, this collaboration infuses classic Dickies silhouettes — such as the Original 874 Work Pants and the Eisenhower Jacket (above) — with signature Harley details. The collection also includes graphic tees, work shirts, vests, hoodies and hats at wallet-friendly prices.

The J.Crew Ludlow suit is still the best value in off-the-rack suiting. Look no further than this Japanese Cotton Chino version for proof. For just over $500, accounting for tax, it competes in fit, feel and finish with competition double the price. It comes in navy and olive and can pull double-duty as a pair of chinos or blazer.

Richard Mille’s watches are effectively supercars for your wrist and never has that ethos been more true than with the ultra high-end watchmaker’s second collaboration with Ferrari. The RM 43-01 Ferrari is classic Richard Mille, with a signature tonneau case in your choice of Grade 5 titanium or proprietary Carbon TPT revealing a highly complex skeletonized movement. The movement is an in-house engine, Calibre RM43-01, and it boasts a tourbillon, a split-second chronograph, a power reserve indicator and even a torque indicator that measures pressure on the mainspring. There’s a lot going on, but RM still found ways to include several nods to Ferrari’s design language as Easter eggs sprinkled throughout the watch. Pricing comes in above the cost of most Ferraris: $1.3 million in titanium and $1.535 million for Carbon TPT.

Ebbets Field is well known for its vintage athletic apparel, historic jerseys and wool flannel jerseys, but the brand — whose history dates back to 1988 and was purchased by Lids in 2022 — has done a bit of a rebrand by launching a menswear collection. Its first collection stays true to its old-school baseball roots but branches out into broader categories such as jackets, hoodies, shirts and hats.
